My purse is a basic black bag that my husband bought me about 5 years ago. The brand is Longchamp and it has held up amazingly. What’s in it? Until a few minutes ago, I had no idea.
This week’s What’s In Your Purse Series purse is courtesy of me, moi, yours truly, me and mine.
I started the purse series in June of 2010 by sharing photos of the contents of my purse, and you guys have been amazing to dump your purses and share the contents along the way for seventy-six weeks. That’s a ton of purses.
I still have a handful of purses in my arsenal {thank you!} but I thought I’d share what’s in mine this week. I came home from CES and dumped the contents of my purse onto the kitchen table only to discover an astonishing array of crap. I honestly have no idea how it all fits in there.
A true Mary Poppins bag if there ever was one.

I’ve been carrying around this super cute green Chloe purse, which apparently fits a whole boatload of nonsense. I literally dumped it all out on the table, and since I’m so majorly O.C.D. I had to organize it all by category. Here we go, from left to right.

13 pieces of makeup in one purse? And that’s after I swiped 2 from the table to use while dashing to and fro. That’s just ridonkulous.

I love it.
