What kind of purse do you use?

[♥ms.pacman♥]

ah, purses..my favorite subject!!

if u don't want to carry a big purse around (just something to carry keys, wallet, cell etc) and u want something hands-free, i would highly recommend a Coach swingpack.

very minimal yet stylish too ..and a BUNCH of colors/styles to choose from. retail is usually around $120 or so but they are always a bunch on sale at the outlets and i've gotten some for $50 before (i've never paid retail for a Coach item, the deals they have at the outlets are just too good). i bought my mom a swingpack for Mother's Day a few years back and she loves it..she uses it as her main purse. i have one and it's very useful. the only reason i don't use mine as much is that i tend to like bigger bags but my swingpack is great for running quick errands or when i want to go to the zoo or an amusement park, fair etc with baby and dont want to be carrying around a big purse.

I use this one

I just got this one b/c it can be worn so many different ways. Cross body large or small, over shoulder, clutch.

Haven't used it yet, though - I got it in Pyrite b/c I wanted silver and the color seems to be more of a light coppery color. It kind of changes in the lighting, so sometimes silvery, sometimes goldish/copperish. Can't decide if I should keep it, even though I really wanted it. <sigh>

I've used this wristlet for the last 3 years and I swear by it. And at $1.33 you can't go wrong - I paid full price when I bought mine! I've converted all my friends and family.

P.S. - Makes a great WOW gift if you include a little gift card inside, too. My brother did that for Christmas presents for his staff at work. Would also make a nice Mother's Day gift or teachers gifts.

That's a great price! I paid almost full price for one of these a couple of years ago too.

I use a Baggallini I found at our AAA location. It's on the smaller side, neutral color, very lightweight, and easy to clean. The straps are adjustable, which is great to transition between across-the-chest and over-the-shoulder wearing. I love the space provided by the exterior pockets and built-in wallet. I can fit a small wipes container and two diapers inside. I've never been a purse gal and am very hard on the ones I use, so I usually buy them cheap. I think the Baggallini ran about $30-$45.

Another vote for the Vera Bradley Hipster. I love mine!

You might want to check out these from Ju Ju Be, kind of the same idea as the Coach ones, but less money and washable in the washing machine:

Another wristlet user here. It took me forever to find the right one. I wanted my wristlet to essentially function as my wallet, so I wanted one that would hold credit cards. And I wanted it to be large enough to hold my cell phone, a lipstick/Chapstick, and keys. I finally found a larger Coach one that would work. The small ones didn't have enough organization or space for me. I love mine! I toss it into larger bags like my diaper bag or use it by itself if I am going out on my own. Works great.
