My Dweller Drawstring bucket bag is my ultimate everyday bag. It's super lightweight, durable, and fits everything I need and then some. 
Love that bag! So cute!
As for me, my carefree picks are my small 19 or mini reissue. Love them both. Just depends on how much I need to carry that day.

It seems 19 is definitely one of the favorites among Chanel lovers. Mine, however, didn't work out and so I parted with my pink/lilac 19 recently. Love the look, the size, the feel, and the color, but the chain felt too heavy and chunky. Also, the color pink I love on everyone else but me. This bag made me realize that pink bag and I just don't go together. What color is your 19? I would love to see a mod shot of how you style your 19!
As for mini reissue, I always thought it was the lesser known ugly sister of the cf until I brought one home. OMG I cannot get enough of her!! Such an easy carefree bag that can transition from day to night and I love how it holds more than the mini rectangle! I definitely get what the whole hype around this bag is now~ She surely has earn her place as one of my forever bags~
Enjoy all your beauties in good health!
wow this is so pretty (both the shape and color!) and it looks like it can carry a lot of things! Great daily bag!!
Yes! I love my mini reissue so much! I don't think it gets enough love. So easy to use and great crossbody.It seems 19 is definitely one of the favorites among Chanel lovers.

My small 19 is the dark grey lambskin. Sorry the 19 didn't work for you! The chunky chain definitely is a certain vibe you have to love. That's one of the things that draws me to it, in addition to the contrasting gold and mixed metals (which I know not everyone loves).
Thank you very much! Yes! Despite her size, I could fit everything but the kitchen sink. LOL She really is a great daily bag!
Oh my... I'm drooling over your 19 color~
May I ask which season it's from? She is GORGEOUS! Seriously, yours and the other poster's So Black 19 photos are making me want to give 19 one more try, just not in pink or other light colors. I don't mind the mixed metals (hence my recent Gabby post), I actually love it! There's something so chic about them. Please don't judge me if you see me post a 19 bag on new purchase thread after I told you it didnt work out with my pink 19. LOL 
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you to enjoy her as much as possible but do enjoy her, she deserves to be loved. 
Love your bag! She's so pretty.
Just wondering, do you find that the chain straps get scuffs with use? I have a similar bag and my chains have black marks all over them. Chanel said it's due to opening and closing the chains through the CC closure. 
Thank you! Yes, I do have wear AND tear on the leather of the pull string. I thought about taking it in to get it fixed but decided I'm going to wait a couple more years when the wear gets to right before the point of no return. It used to bother me alot but now i don't even realize that it's there unless I'm looking. Wear and tear on mine is because I yanked the pull string too roughly through the CC closure like you. I thought that because the lambskin leather on the body is very durable that I didn't think I needed to be too careful. What a costly mistake! Oh well~ live and learn...Love your bag! She's so pretty.
Here's a photo of my w&t. Even so, I still favor her the most. Attachments
It's from 21B. I've used it quite a bit and don't worry about babying it. It still looks great. I hope you find a 19 you love!Oh my... I'm drooling over your 19 color~

The leather is indeed so fragile. Thank you for taking the time to photograph! But yes, agreed. The bag is super lightweight and fits everything. Enjoy!
