So there have
been a bunch of “What’s in my Bag” posts floating around lately. Mostly, they
seem to be women who have their shit totally and completely together, and are
organized to a fault. So since I’m not even remotely like that, I wasn’t
interested in hopping on board the train.
But then Sarah
did a hilarious post about it, and then Shannon informed me that she had written one like, a year ago and a half ago, way back before it was cool, and then I was like, oh,
well if these two hooligans did it, and it was funny, then I suppose I can do
one too. (And no, this isn't technically about wallets or anything, even though *spoiler alert* there is a wallet in my purse.)
And here we are.
So here’s a
picture of my purse from above. It doesn’t look too terribly disorganized, does
it?
And then here’s
a picture of all of the crap from inside my purse, unceremoniously dumped out
on my desk at work.
And the best
part is that basically, even though that looks like a sort of small-ish pile,
there are all kinds of hidden gems in there.
So here’s a
list. Since I know you’re beyond curious.

So now that you all know everything I'm carting around with me on the daily...it's your turn to spill.
Please let me know when you dislocate your shoulder from carrying so much crap around...it will probably happen the same day it happens to me because my purse is also a black hole!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa. That's a lot of stuff, but completely needable (it's a word). I realized recently that I'm currently between three purses plus a wallet clutch and I'd have to dump out all three in order to show my one bag.
ReplyDeleteWhhhhhhhy do we do this!? And I mean carry purses, not put stuff in them because duh, I like having my hair ties with me even if I keep putting one in my purse because I'm sure I don't have one in there.
You can fit A LOT into your purse!!! And my husband thought mine was full ;) But I love that you compared yourself to Rorie :)
ReplyDeleteWow you carry a lot with you! I am such a neat freak that I seriously do not even have a receipt in my purse, just my wallet, hand sanitizer, chapstick, a pen, aleve, sometimes a small bottle of lotion, tampons when necessary, and my phone when it's not in my hand. It gives me anxiety to have tons of stuff in there haha but I bet it's awfully handy to have everything you have, because you never know when you'll need it!
ReplyDeletelolllllll thank you, thank you, thankkkkk you for showing what a majority of women's purses look like. Let's be real, the posts I see that people do of what's in their purse....I just have a hard time believing their purse is that clean all the time! Like whatttt!? Don't get me wrong, I try to keep mine relatively clean, but 90% of the times, that's not the easiest thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSo thanks for the laugh. I appreciate that!
This made me laugh...oh man. The contents of your purse are really amusing! I am totally one of those "organized" girls you speak of. I hate when my purse is messy. I go about 3 days with receipts in the bottom and I have to clean it out. I am going to do a post like this soon...just because it seems like fun and I like seeing what people carry around with them daily.
ReplyDeletei feel like im always up for a surprise when i look in my bag. i just never know what im going to find! lol
ReplyDeleteim not sure thats a good thing...
