Sounds like a great system! Thanks for sharing.I only use one wallet too. I had gotten down to one long wallet until last month when I bought another I didn't need. I generally use the same long wallet for a few years. I use it to store my cash, store credit cards, and coupons. I don't actually pull it out much anymore unless I'm shopping at a mall. I used to shop all the time but now hardly ever. It was something my girls and I did every weekend. It was our entertainment to try on clothes together.
Besides my main wallet, I have a card case that holds my driver's license, insurance card, and major credit cards. I love using a card case. It is much easier to pull out than the long wallet, and if the purse has inside pockets, it fits easily into one. Then I have a coin purse that also contains an emergency $20 bill. When I'm carrying a bag that is too small for my long wallet, I can get by with just the card case and coin purse.
I have a cosmetic case that contains headache pills, eye drops, dental floss, an emery board, etc. The one I use currently is actually a pencil case. I find the longer, skinnier shape works better for me. In most bags, I put it in first so it sits on the bottom, since I don't need it that often.
The majority of my SLGs are bag charms and twillies.
I also have some vintage SLGs that are just collectibles for me.
I’m glad to hear your neck got better! I like your MBMJ Natasha, it’s a fun colour. I still have one in my collection, too (I used to own two.)Raining here on the coast for the foreseeable future, so I've switched into my one & only "beater" bag. This is an MbMJ Natasha that I bought in 2012, because I was having a lot of neck pain and the physical therapist said I needed to carry a crossbody bag. I didn't know a thing about handbags (this was a year before I joined tPF, so I only owned one full-sized handbag and one clutch bag!!!) so I went to Nordstrom and they recommended this brand. What did I know about Marc Jacobs? I bought it because it was purple! I carried it nonstop for a solid year, my neck got all better, and then I joined tPF. We all know what happened after that!
But this is still a great bag, and perfect for rainy winter days.

I did, however, buy some clothes.I was really tired of all my clothes being big and baggy on me, so I did a ruthless closet purge and then went out and bought some smaller jeans & pants, a sweater, a few tees, and a couple of nice tops.
We also have a gala event coming up in May, and I bought a dressy cocktail dress. I was very pleased that the size six not only fit, but was a bit loose. No Spanx necessary, and I'll actually be able to eat dinner that night!![]()
