Women who do not carry purses

[880]

If you get to be middle age or older, you need a bag. Meds, glasses, id, keys, phone and more. Youngins have no idea what they are talking about.

As get older, though, I want to carry lighter weight
so I streamline, but I still need the bare minimum
its different for everyone

I love bags/purses and that’s why I carry one. The added bonus is that it is a catch all for my wallet, cosmetic case, keys, phone and sunglasses. The few times that I have not carried a bag or carried one too small to fit everything, I have almost lost important things. I left my phone at the checkout counter of a grocery store, found it fairly immediately and another time I left my car key fob on a shelf in a store. The key fob sent me into a panic as I didn’t know which store I actually left it in or if somehow I had just dropped it somewhere. I had to backtrack the route of my shopping journey and found it on a shelf where I put it when I picked up some clothing to look at.

I am focused on finding things when shopping and realize that is better for me to carry a purse. Recently I did leave my bag somewhere but that’s been discussed elsewhere.

Agree. I now appreciate lightweight canvas more than I did when younger. But all my friends (and me) have had to add at least reading glasses. (Many have had to add meds too).

Let’s put it this way. I’m in far less peril carrying a purse while crossing the street than the purse less zombie whose entire attention is riveted on their iPhone.
