Tonight I have mostly been sorting out my handbag. I know I should have taken a picture of all the junk I got out of it but I forgot. Here is the bag I had before, which I love (from Clarks) but I’ve been using it since before BritMums (June) so I feel like it is time for a change. Here is the bag I have been using:
So I took everything out of it and moved aside anything that could be binned or I didn’t need in my bag and whittled it down to these items:
Which are:
- Pack of tissues
- Purse (in the end I replaced it with a much smaller one, but I know I will go back to the orange one as I love it)
- Pens (I HAVE to have a supply of decent pens in my handbag)
- My business cards
- Pills (pregabalin & some anti anxiety ones that can be taken during panic attacks)
- my notebook
- my portable recharger
- a spare pad for THOSE kind of emergencies
- spare contact lenses x 2 pairs
- a hair band
- mascara (I rarely use it but I like to have it anyway)
- a lipgloss
- some hair grips
- earphones
When picking a new bag I wasn’t exactly sure what to go for (I should say when picking I mean I went to my cupboard of handbags in Bella’s room to pick one that I have, instead of buying a new one as I don’t have any money and I don’t NEED more handbags anyway!). I had a look and I really wanted something smart and not heavy, so I went for my lovely little blue Radley, which I bought on eBay thinking I was getting a bargain only to find it was a really small size. It has plenty of pockets (which is always a great thing for me with handbags) but it’s an awkward size for fitting things in. You can’t have too big a purse. Or even a medium size purse for that matter. You need to have a tiny coin purse or you can’t fit other stuff in.
I hope you like the photos. I did them using an app I’ve been playing around with – hence why they are all different styles. I quite like the last one – with the shadow round it and the rounded edges.
