PIPs...From the belly of the beast...I mean, Purse :)

Here's my purse post. I know you were all holding your breath in anticipation for it :)

image 

I have been carrying this purse around for about 2 years now. It's a Coach bag that a good friend who was in the Marines with my late grandmother gave me for my graduation. She has been wonderful to me since my grandmother died and has sort of taken on an honorary role. She even came down early for my wedding and helped set up and get ready and everything, so the purse means a lot to me. Not to mention it is the most expensive purse I have ever owned and it took me almost a year of it being in my closet before I got the nerve to start carrying it and risking it getting dirty.

Ana would totally judge me for carrying around a light purse year round:)

On to purse guts:

image

1. My little umbrella that I learned to carry everywhere when I was living in NYC.

2. My Ipad

3. My wallet, which was the first present DH ever gave me. Normally I would switch out wallets every year but I have been pretty happy with this one for a while.

4. Mini Calendar/ Appt book

5. A couple of dicount cards that never made it to my wallet because I have the keychain version on a clip already which is easier to get to and my BFF's credit card which somehow got in my purse this weekend and I need to call her about. Oops!

6. My sunglasses

7. Checkbook and my owl necklace I bought in Greece, which had been missing until I cleaned my purse.

8. Snips

9. Cellphone

10. Sudoku book

11. Two pairs of winter gloves (I'm not sure why I have two in my purse)

12. Eye drops, Little pill bottle, Sudafed pack

13. Hand sanitizer (I'm a nanny for a 3 yr old, this is a necessity)

14. Wet wipes, see 13

15. Barrette

16. Hair bands and Bluetooth I never use because I forget to charge it.

17. Contact case

18. USB drives

19. Lint roller

20. A real lighter (useful to have) and a fake flashlight lighter from going to see Rock of Ages

21. VS Lipgloss, Sephora lipstick, and Blistex chap stick

22. D-ring that clips in side my purse that has a keyring of just discount cards, one with DH's car key, one with my work house key, and if I am out and about, my car keys get clipped to it as well so I don't have to dig around.

23. Coach wristlet that I use as a camera case and mini wallet when I go out with friends.

24. A ribbon rose I got bored and made.

25. Various pens and sharpies

And finally, the little pile of papers I need to throw out. Basically a bunch of ticket stubs to shows we have been to this year, confirmation sheets, and a program from La Traviata.

And that's it. Hope you have enjoyed this rendition of Purse Guts: In the Belly of the Beast.

  • I LOVE that purse.  I can see how you would be scared to carry it.  My first though before reading your description was "how does she keep it so clean?"

    Loooove your purse. I'll give you credit for having for 2 years and keeping it clean. I usually stay away from white purses because I'm such a mess.
