What’s in your handbag? | youlookfab http://www.youlookfab.com/2007/10/23/oprah%e2%80%99s-healthy-handbags/#comment-33599 Fess up!

I don’t carry very much because I  change out my handbags often. Sometimes twice a day if I need a clutch at night. This strategy allows me to have many handbags, which is my consolation for being unable to have loads of shoes (fussy feet have small footwear wardrobes). Having an assortment of handbags also allows me to have fun with different looks, and sport a healthy posture.

I carry a Tumi tote, and it has held up to four years of abuse, and still going strong. It is a bit pricy - $150 - for such a plan bag, but it's amazingly strong and practical, yet attractive.

My mother has to clean out her purse every few months because she gathers too much stuff. Generally, things get stuffed into a purse and never quite see the light of day for awhile. Stick with the essentials...phone, wallet, and keys! :) In regards to people needing to carry all that stuff, rather than just wanting to…I have to say, most ladies I know who have big purses carry around way more than they need.

In this situation you just don't have a choice. But when you don’t need to do that anymore, and you aren’t forced to carry a nappy bag full of tricks for infants – you can reduce the contents of your handbag fairly simply.
