I am simple...mine contains:

*my wristlet (in place of a wallet - holds credit cards, money, etc. and I can use it alone w/o taking my whole bag everywhere)
*make up bag
*sunglasses
*gum
*ipod
*checkbook
*train passes, metro card, etc...
*cigarettes on bad days
edit *keys (thanks nfanel!) they would be essential....

This morning I was on the train and asked the woman next to me for a tissue - she opens her bag, gave me one, asked if I needed anymore and pulls out an entire roll of TOILET PAPER!!!!!!!!! made me feel quite unprepared!

so girlies, what's in yours?

    hmmmm....let me think:


    wallet
    pocket calendar
    mini calculator
    mini tape measure - believe me, it comes in handy!
    small perfume atomizer
    cell phone
    pen
    small compact mirror
    mini zip case with face powder, lipstick and lipliner
    hairstick
    gum
    mini bottle of hand sanitizer
    listerine mouth spray


    in small zippered side pocket:
    nail file
    advil
    tampons - always prepared!
    couple of quarters
    hair ties



    btw - i carry a SMALL bag.
    it all fits quite nicely/compactly
    :)



    i only carry keys and sunglasses in my purse when i am not commuting. when i commute, in my 'commuter bag' i have my trainpass with house/work keys attached and wearing my sunglasses, or again...thrown in the commuter bag. i use this bigger bag to carry my lunch, always an umbrella, my purse and one zippered thin bag with more hand sanitizer, tissues, subway map, train schedules,hand lotion, ipod and earbuds.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    this is why I love having a sausage.

    everything I need fits into a wallet
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    definitely....if it doesn't fit in my wallet and isn't my cell phone or keys, I don't need to take it with me when I go somewhere



    my wife's pocketbook is usually like a disaster area...everytime she asks me to grab something out of it I'm scared that it's going to explode....

    i love having a small purse with me at all times.

    i HATE having things in my pockets, and often times wear things without pockets, or not enough anyway. i would not want to carry my wallet, cell phone, keys, sunglasses, ipod, etc....without a bag. the fact that i DO carry a bag just means i can carry a few other 'non-essential' items with me, but it is soooo conveninet to have em! i love having gum with me at all times! my lipstick! a tape measure! :) seriously. i think what happens is some women carry too BIG a purse, and/or dont empty out non-essentials regularly, etc. this is why i always carry a small bag.
