Looking around campus, malls, and mainly just anywhere I go, I've noticed a new trend in purses. They're either large or small. This got me thinking, I need a small purse too! A purse small enough just for my cell phone, wallet, keys, and chap-stick. I've been thinking about this for quite some time and I still haven't pulled the trigger. I figured I probably won't get much use since I'm back in school...then I got hired as research assistant to work a few hours for a couple days a week, and one of those days are Fridays. On these days, I take public transportation and carry basically my life in that bag, and it hit me, I am in a desperate "need" of a going out bag too! I need it for after work since carrying a tote bag is illogical (which I can just throw into the trunk of my friend's car and just take my purse) and medium size bag wouldn't be large enough for everything I need to bring to work...so my hunt begins for an affordable and not-too-trendy small bag -- maybe.
Readers - Do you have multiple size purses? How do you justify a "need" of a new purse? Do you have any suggestions for small purses?
Yes! Invest in a small purse! I love my big purses for school, but having a small purse just makes traveling and moving around so much easier. I think what's great about a small purse is that many of them are super similar in style and so I don't think they ever become TOO trendy. Maybe just for the season it changes to the color trend, but I think the shape still stays the same. Can't wait to see what you pick out! =)
ReplyDeleteLove your choices! I went through a similar phase over the summer. I saw this F21 cross body/clutch on a blogger and fell in love. Then I thought, if I'm going to buy a purse that's not just a trendy thing, why not invest in a real leather one, classic style? After much much much deliberation, and a 35% coupon from a blogger (I love blogging!), I settled on the Coach Penny Purse in orange. I love it for weekends and trips. Small enough just to fit phone, keys, and my credit cards and cash. Since my hubby carries the diaper bag anyways, I love having a purse for myself and not having the excuse that one of us forgot their wallets again :). Good luck! Any of those above would be perfect!
