I use my 07 Balenciaga part time for everyday use but I will take out my LV out maybe 2-3 times a week so it can go out and breathe.
I'm from California so weather isn't an issue it's always sunny and never rains.
 
Every couple of months when I start to miss my other bags. I like to get the most of my bags since they are pretty expensive. I buy mostly neutral colors so I can wear it with most outfits.
 
I must be in the minority. I change every season so basically 4x/year. Also, I have yet to use a bag more than one season but that may change now that I'm spending more money on bags. Do you all use purse organizers? I think it's such a pain to change bags which is why I do i so infrequently.
 
I use the same work bag each day (it's pretty large to accommodate all of my files, books, etc) so I only get to rotate my other bags on the weekends. Now that I'm a mom I am sticking to my small crossbody bags and the diaper bag. I don't get too many chances to use my nicer bags, like my Chanel jumbo :(
 
I change almost every outing. Pretty sure it's out of boredom, the only exciting thing for a SAHM is looking into her purse wardrobe :)

The one tip is to remember everything must go into the new bag automatically. Usually when I drop one or two things in the new bag, inevitably something gets left behind and missing in an emergency. A permanent daily purse organizer helps. I once had trouble when boarded on the metro and realized my train pass was in the previous bag, I was so stressed out!
 
Usually it depends where I'm going. 99% of the time I need something that I can fit my journal, planner, and Bible in. (Coach Willis usually!) But if I'm going to be walking all day I'll take something smaller to throw over my shoulder!

And of course if I'm just feeling a certain bag, I'll switch to it and plan my outfit around it, haha!
 
I used to change daily. But now I'm trying out this weekly routine. I get bored easily but sticking to the weekly schedule makes me feel I'm getting good usage from all my bags. If I can't wear something through the week that means 1) the bag does not suit my wardrobe 2)I don't love it as much as I should so therefore it has to go :)
 
So I am wondering how often everyone changes their bags?

How/when do decide to change what you are using?
*outfit?
*weather?
* occasion?

*just boredom?
I usually change on the weekend (depending on what i'm wearing) and also for work (depending on the weather - of course). I've always prefered something more casual and practical for work.
 
I used GST for work and for weekend outings, it depends on my outfit of the day and where I m going to. It's either LV speedy or Chanel 2.55 or Chanel jumbo. I ve been carrying 2.55 a lot, simply because it's a carefree, lightweight and elegant bag.
 
I typically have two go between bags at the ready in my closet, one black and one brown. I will switch between these during the week, depending upon what I am wearing. The other bags are all covered up in their sleepers and only used when I have the five hours that it takes to get them all unwrapped and filled up! :D
