I'm really, really particular about purses. I hardly ever see ones I like, so I don't end up with many. I did buy one over the holidays though. It's dark purple leather, but I can't find a pic of it now.
I go back and forth between purse sizes. I'll decide I want a big one, stuff it full of everything imaginable and then decide it's too heavy and bulky and go to a tiny purse that fits basically a wallet and my phone...then I decide I need more space so I get a massive one and the cycle starts all over again. :rolleyes:Quote:

It would help if I took the time to clean them out periodically. :DQuote:

Next time we went out, he turned to me and without batting an eyelid said, ' I think I'll leave my jacket in the car - I don't suppose you have room in your bag for my wallet?' No, Sunshine, I do not - and you've only got yourself to blame. But somehow he hung around for the next twenty-odd years, so my handbags went back to being big enough to carry my entire life again - and his, as well.
Ah, so there's hope for us large-hand-bagged ladies, eh? :)
I've noticed that also, Kasie. When I have a larger purse, everyone wants me to carry wallets, papers, water bottles... I come home with back strain!
I like the medium sized purse; but everything falls to the bottom. I've taken to the habit of carrying little ziplocs in the bag; but now I confuse the ziplocs...
Sometimes I buy purses with compartments, but the fabric ones tear quickly...
I like the last one!Quote:

I make it a rule that if i'm buying a bag (thats not a going out at night or for dinner bag) it has to be big enough to fit a trade paper back as well as my other bits and bobs. It also has to be one i can slig over my shoulder! :D
Now I know I've a little bit of luck. The same day I went poking about looking at the purses, the purse fairy delivered one to me as a gift:D Here it is...

It's not big enough for a computer, but I bet I can fit a hardbound book in there if needed.
Oh, that's cute! I like the shorter straps.
I think that story is so adorable Kasie!!!Quote:

My dad spoiled me this Christmas and bought me a B. Makowsky handbag and already it's a weight lifting nightmare! Perhaps it's a good idea to clean them out once a week or something.
Speaking of the Christmas handbag....it's a cream leather hobo....so it's very light and doesn't do well with the spilling of chocolate shakes...does anyone have a good in home remedy? I'm scared of damaging the leather.
Thank, Grace - carrying his wallet was the least I could do for him - he fixed things for me all the time, he understood I was not-very-good with-mechanical-things.
Oh dear, oh dear - I went to M&S yesterday - it was only to recycle my Christmas cards - honest.... They had the recycling box right by the door, I didn't have to go inside the shop but they had this line of new spring cardigans just inside the door and there was this lovely long-line jacket style cotton cardie in blue stripes that would just go with my travel wardrobe of blue and I don't have a light-weight cardie - well, I do , but it's short and zips up to make a sweater - and it spoke to me and positively begged me to take it home with me...
Then when I got back to the car with it, I realised I had parked outside Accessorize and they had their new line of spring bags in the window and some of them were blue and I could do with a carry-on bag for my trip - I resisted their siren call though I did pop in to have a look and very nice they were too but I do love browsing in Accessorize.
I broke a nail :( I was keeping them long for two "dates" (long story) I have this weekend :(
