We all see it… You know, you’re walking and you see a walking bag in front of you… Oh, wait, there’s the girl…
Yeah, the girls with the super oversized bags on their shoulders…they might as well get inside, too. Now I have to admit, being a girl and all, that I don’t have a small purse by any means. It’s pretty heavy, too. And I LOVE having big bags! Now all the guys are like, “What is the point of having SUCH a BIG bag???”
All the girls know how frustrating it is to spend 10 minutes digging through the bottomless pit and not finding your favorite lip gloss that you need right this very instant. That is why it is ESSENTIAL to have a huge bag. This might not make any sense whatsoever, but basically you have to be prepared for anything that might come up. Even if it means you have to spend 10 minutes looking for it, at least you know you it’s in there…somewhere….
So in my hypothetical “purse” there would be a bag and pockets for each item so that I don’t spend all day looking for a bobby pin. There are the essentials: wallet, lip gloss, cell phone, and keys. Without these items, I go crazy!! I hate it most when I forget to grab my lip gloss!! Add in cute bags filled with make-up, band-aids, dental floss, contact solution, eye drops, and a contact case. Then my case with my glasses would have to make its way in, too. Then there would be the sunglasses (in a case, too) and umbrella. I would have an extra hair tie and bobby pins plus some hairspray, deodorant, lotion, hand sanitizer, and perfume, too. Then I can’t forget the nifty oily skin blotters, gum, small snack, and a Tide-To-Go pen. What about the days you might need a nail file, Kleenex, or some ibuprofen??
Now for the camera, iPod, PDA, and calculator. Plus my planner, pens, pencils, highlighters, mini stapler, tape, paper clips, and binder clips. Might as well throw in the 3-hole punch, too. Might need a book for boring bus rides or breaks between classes, too.
Okay so I really don’t carry all of these things with me…..but with big bags in this season it could be possible…..

I agree with you. Sometimes large purses can look obnoxiously large on smaller women. But they can be very convenient for caring everything you might need. I have a habit of caring things in my purse "just in case." I always look for purses that have inside pockets to avoid the "10 minute look" for lip gloss. Another thing you can do is put all your smaller items: pencils, pens, hair things, lip gloss, etc in small separate bags. You can find cute little cloth bags a lot of places. Vera Bradley always has good organizers for purses. Another tip I have learned when looking at big bags is to go with your body size. If you are smaller you can still have a big purse just buy one that is taller/deeper rather than wider. If you are pretty tall you can pull off the wider bags. This way the bags will be more proportional to your body type and won't consume you.
I two gigantic coach bags that i'm obsessed with. I got one last year from my mom for my birthday and one I bought for myself. My theory is that if I'm going to buy such an expensive and nice person, it might as well be the biggest one. I love it because i can fit absolutely everything in it.
