 My thought process when I buy a purse: "Would Indiana Jones be able to save the day with this slung over his shoulder?" The answer is generally no, but I came across a big yes! the other day so there that is. I really, really do not like purse shopping. I just... none of them appeal to me! Name brands don't do it for me, most of them have some kind of clunky metal involved, and the patterns are not that attractive to me. Am I missing something? I don't know, I guess I'm just a practical girl. I'm drawn to simple and functional bags (and socially conscious, if possible), nothing too flashy. If you think about it, a woman's purse reflects who she is. Right? Next time you're out, look around. It's kind of fascinating. Like how a dog and his/her owner are similar (remember that from 101 Dalmatians?). Anyway, I've recently stopped carrying a purse with mixed results (I stopped carrying one mainly because my purse before literally fell apart). While it's very freeing not having a shoulder occupied or anything to hold, I miss having a place for a book, camera and food for sneaking into movie theaters (you all do this, don't lie). I don't know how guys do it. I guess... it's the big pockets, isn't it? Oh, I love pockets, especially in dresses. |

The pockets are pretty good, but carrying stuff around in there can get annoying. Generally the workaround is make your girlfriend hold it for you in her purse. In return, we hold items for them at rock concerts. Give and get!
i don't get purse shopping either. plus, having more than one purse forces you to move all og the contents of purse A into purse B when purse B coordinates with your outfit better on a particular day. and that's just too much work for me.
i'm a big fan of pockets on dresses/skirts also! they make great hiding places for fidgety hands in awkward social situations. i've even started altering existing pocketless dresses/skirts to be pocketful. highly recommended!
To be honest, that's one of the things I never understood about women's clothing. Why would anyone design clothes without giant pockets? Why would you do that? Those things are so endlessly useful!

Me too, dude. For Christmas I splurged on a new purse for myself, though to me the cost is justified 'cause it's handmade (Etsy!) and it's probably the closest thing to my dream purse that I've ever owned. Super simple, super functional.
