I'm carrying my black Rory today and this is what's inside. I carry all of this stuff all of the time; it even fits in my Willis. I do have vintage British Tan Coach; I think it's called a Compact bag?? When I carry it, I put my wallet and stuff that I access the most in it; the rest of my stuff I put in my black Lucky Whipstitch tote. Yes, I carry TWO purses at once! I'm an addict. LOL
~Wallet (Leather Mundi Trifold)
~4" x 6" Cosmetics bag (a no-name lined suede bag) Along with a few cosmetics, I always keep my pen in this bag. Better safe than sorry.
~Coin purse (No-name leather zip; it has the image of stars, moon, and a city-scape. I LOVE this thing)
~A pair of clean panties in a tiny leather zip bag (yeah, I go commando and have been caught in Dr's exam rooms without any--never again!! LOL)
~My dear mom's small card case wallet (Samsonite leather zip around-- she is in assisted living and I need her state ID and insurance cards for taking her to Dr's).
~Keys
~A neatly rolled nylon slip lead (to round up any stray dogs that I come across. I also keep a Mendota slip lead hanging from the rear view mirror of my Jeep)
~~~In the inside zipper pocket of my purses, I always have the following:
---LED flashlight
--Spyderco knife w/ straight and serated edge
--Small pill case w/ meds and 2 Tylenol
--USB Flashdrive
--Tic Tac mints
--A spare Bic lighter
~~In the other two inside pockets:
--Reading glasses
--Sunglasses
I RARELY, if ever, put my phone in my purse! It's always in the pocket of my Levi's. I'd never hear it otherwise. I also won't put an open pack of cigarettes in my bag; I hate tobacco in the bottom of my bag! I will put an unopened one in though....
Listing all of my items makes it appear that I carry ALOT of stuff but in reality, everything that I carry is small. I always keep my bag, wallets, cosmetics case super-organized. I cannot stand an untidy wallet or purse! I rarely have reciepts just floating around. They are pulled out ASAP and entered into my debit ledger.
I've been carrying my black Rory for about a week now so it's time to move out of it. I'm moving into either my Fossil Maddox Messenger in Scarlet or my brown Badgley Mischka belted satchel (I honestly don't know this bag's name--I think it was a
Nordstrom exclusive). Of course they are both leather! I don't own a bag that isn't leather.
I also have a work bag, Frye Logan Zip Tote, that I carry. I'm never without a change of clothes/shoes and an extra set of work clothes.
