"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do have last year's summer purse, hon. But, it's a little worse for wear. and... Yes I have the little green one from two summers ago, too... but... No, none of them will do. I need a new one. It can come out of the grocery money. Don't worry. The kids like to have Ramen noodles every day for lunch..."
Men could never understand how important it is to a woman to have the right purse. All they've got are pockets, and that seems to make them hapy. How could they know?
Ah, the joys of the perfect purse! Having just the right spaces to store my particular essentials. Big enough to hold everything, but not so big that things are hard to find. Neutral enough to work with all my clothes and shoes, but not so neutral that it's boring. Functional enough to be a "mommy bag," but cool enough that it doesn't look frumpy.
I know it's out there. I'm on the hunt.
In the meantime, since it's so much on my mind, I jotted out a meme all about purses. This is not trivial, either, mind you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A girl's purse tells a lot about her! You could put together my whole life story from the contents of my purse. The following meme may tell a little about you, too. To play along, replace my answers with yours and send this out as a meme to as many girlfriends as you think would enjoy it. Remember to link and notify if you're blogging. If you don't want to "do" a meme, you can just scroll through for your own personal journey of discovery ~ and you can leave whatever answers stand out for you in the comments below. I'd love to know I'm not alone in my purse-fancy!
7. How many pockets, divisions, or pouches are in your everyday purse? Can you tell without looking? The denim purse I'm using now has... at least seven.
b) OW!
10. Without looking guess how many of the following items your purse contains (You don't need to identify, but you can if you want to):
HUM! Memories of our Vera Bradley weekend...This was GRAND!!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteOH I love your picture of the those stately trees!
I own a purse, but I only carry it when I'm going somewhere where I think it's important that I'm seen to own one. Otherwise I keep my drivers license, bank card, and lip balm in my pocket and clip my phone to my pants. I do love purses, but it's so hard to find one I truly love. They usually look so ordinary, ya know? I was one of the purse people with a red purse in the late 90's, I was considered quite the trendsetter. I loved that purse. But within a couple years everyone else had red purses too. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the brown one and the colorful ones at the beginning...
ReplyDeleteand you've been tagged!
I hate the fact that I have to carry a purse, but I do. I like most of the purses you have in these pictures too..I've decided that I am not longer going to be the black purse women. Right now my purse is green, and I'm liking it. ..I am in a league all of my own when it comes to purse contents...and be glad for it. :>)

ReplyDeleteOh, I just have to tell you about a site I recently stumbled upon, then. www.Britgalusa.com She just started a series of posts on various handbags she owns. They all have names and special memories and it is such fun (even though I'm too basic a purse person to even do the purse meme you included!) She has one photo where she shows all her purses (I guess this gave her the idea!).
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible I just use my pockets!
