What in the world do you carry in that big bag (besides phone & money) ?
...I used to carry a large one years ago because I was a "just in case " person....No kidding...I would have things as in: tweezers, band aides, flashlight
ruler,wand magnet, aspirin, nail file, straws, magnifying glass, scissors etc. in addition to the usual makeup and a brick.. just kidding, no brick...Wait a minute... I wasn't carrying a purse I was carrying a first aid kit all those years
....I have dramatically down sized to a very small purse now w/ just a check book and a few papers in it ...not even any makeup any more & I don't even miss the stuff ( well on occasion ). Do you HAVE to carry a lot of stuff or are you a minimalist?
