what’s in your purse series: week ten.

This week’s *What’s in your purse series* purse is from Natalie of The Bobby Pin.  Here’s what she’s got inside.

leather purse

whats in a purseThis is my Monday-Friday bag. On weekends I usually grab a smaller purse but I almost always still have this bag in the car with me. It has everything I need.

Before I describe everything — in my defense, I work in marketing by day, and by night I am an MBA student or a youth leader in my church, depending on the night. I wear a lot of hats. These hats often require supplies.
Contents (starting from bottom left)
  • That red strap is my work badge.
  • White wallet that is falling apart
  • Business card holder (from Utah actually, love Hip and Humble)
  • Keys
  • No fewer than 15 pens and highlighters in 2 colors. I live in constant fear of not having a pen.
  • Sephora receipt
  • Sephora lip gloss freebie from my birthday last year
  • Change purse a coworker brought back from Columbia
  • Sunscreen stick
  • Anti bacterial lotion
  • Three hand braces — that is embarrassing. I get carpal tunnel symptoms, but these braces by IMAK keep the pain down. I don’t however have 3 hands. So I don’t know how three ended up in there!
  • Calculator for my stats class
  • 10 hair clips
  • Three big bobby pins
  • A tissue holder
  • A poken. I found it in there and smiled. It is from BlogWorld… but I really haven’t used it.
  • The makeup usually stays in that little Clinique freebie pouch. It is made up of mascara, tweezers, eyeshadow, chap-stick and gloss. For those nights when you’re going somewhere after work.
  • My iPhone
  • Sunglasses.

My purse is by Latico — it is narrow but I love it because I can slip my laptop in there, or my notebook as the second picture shows. It is kind of briefcasey but still a purse. It is also getting worn out, and I think I might have to switch soon. Sad — the floral lining is my favorite part!

If you want to submit your purse send me two photos: one of your purse & one of the contents of your purse, along with an explanation of what’s inside.  Email me: allisonATpetitelefantDOTcom.

Cool! I’ve never heard of a Poken… but I went and looked it up. Neat idea. :)

I just stumbled upon your blog and love the purse series! Very tempted to send in my own purse pictures now.

I was so excited to see this purse series linked from PW! It’s been so fun to see what’s inside everyone’s purses and I’ve been inspired to clean mine out, at least.
