this is my purse
it's a very pragmatic tool.
i've been addicted to messenger-type bags for several years now. my cat peed in the first and best one i ever owned, it was just the right size, black, and said "Get Over It" on the outside. i still have it - - hoping, i suppose, for the day when they come up with a fully functioning version of "piss-be-gone; feline".
the last one i had was too big, and got too heavy with everything i wanted to cram into it all the time. it's currently serving double duty as the baby's toys-for-the-trip bag and my backup, should something horrible befall the new bag (above). while i'm not totally keen on the color; the size, construction, and ease of everything with this bag is unsurpassed.
-the small pouch on the front holds things like stamps, shout wipes, my badge for work, breath strips and a lip gloss.
-the zippered pouch of the same size on the inside holds the absolutely indispensible foundation, powder, and mini-mirror.
- there's a zippered pocket on the inside for check book and other seldom-used but important to have stuff.
- there's a pocket for my cell phone on one side and a pen/pencil pocket on the other.
- the two larger flaps on the outside are perfectly sized for papers that i need to take to or from work and for teabags and coupons, respectively.
- and the main cavity is large enough to accomodate a journal, two wallets (one for cards one for cash), an emergency kit, and my camera with plenty of room to spare (as in i could probably fit spare pairs of socks and underwear in there if i needed to). i usually use the extra space for a bottle of diet coke.
- and the strap is FULLY adjustable.
i think the best part, though, is that it (like Katrina's) was a super bargain find. while shopping for holiday wear for my daughter (at Old Navy) it was on the "we-really-have-to-get-rid-of-this-stuff" rack and i think i paid something insane like $3 for it.
When it falles apart, i'm using it for a pattern for it's replacement.
