the purse essentials

Have you ever stopped to look at what you actually lug around in your purse every day? I certainly hadn’t until someone requested a “What’s In My Bag” video on YouTube. And let me tell you… it was pretty eye opening! I quickly realized I’m a gum hoarder (things could be worse) and that there’s always at least one bobby pin floating around in the black hole of my Barrington tote. The kicker? Around 327 receipts haphazardly crammed into a side pocket… which I decided to leave out of the above collage. ;)

When it came down to it, I realized I’ve unknowingly created a mini every day survival pack consisting of some most-valued things – chap stick, extra pearl earrings, sunglasses, etc. I wonder what all that says about me! What about you? Any must-have or unexpected items you always have stashed away in your purse? I’d love to hear!

Love from Texas,

Kate

    Kate, you crack me up. Love the post. The inside of my purse is currently in the same state. And so glad my bobby pins never run out, game changer when it decides to downpour the hour before kickoff. ha! Have a great day doll!!
