What's in your purse?
 

Or your manbag? Or do you not carry either one?

My purses are all medium size - anything too teeny & I can't fit my **** in there, anything too large (like those big hobo sacks) and I can't find a damn thing, my stuff just gets lost. My favorite purse is burnt-sienna colored suede with black leather straps - I get more comments on that one than any other purse I've ever had, and the thing only cost me $20 on sale at JC Penney's. :laugh:

For me, its a little more of "what's NOT in your purse". Le'ssse....I don't have any pets in there, so that's NOT in my purse.

Like Sparky, I'm good with my pockets.

Always have:
Right pocket:
- .5 mechanical pencil (I.hate.pens.)

- Keys, meal card/student ID, jump drive (right hoodie pocket always & only)

Left pocket:
- Burt's Bees
- iPod, if listening (left hoodie pocket always & only)

Sometimes have:
Left pocket:
- Wallet (I hate having it in the back pocket)

In my messenger bag for school (I don't carry it with me all the time, but whatev):
- Folder with all current/non-specific work, letters in progress, etc + looseleaf paper
- Snack of some sort (usually a granola bar or two)
- Right now, three packs of Orbit (Raspberry Mint, Bubblemint, and Lemon Lime)
- Two tubes of Burt's
- Scientific calculator
- Book for those core classes where the professor says everything BUT stuff that has something to do with the course and don't matter in the longrun (currently Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk)
- More pencils, all .5 lead mechanical
- A pen or two for when I absolutely need one
- iPod if not in use
- Cough drops (Hall's cherry & Robitussin lemon & honey)
- Extra lead for aforementioned pencils
- Sometimes my laptop for note-taking, since notebooks are old meme
- Sometimes textbooks, for classes that actually use them
- Sometimes another folder, for classes where I need to be organized and such

I recently ditched the purse for a sling bag...or whatever they're called. One strap, it goes across the chest - and it's totally for guys but I don't care, they're functional.

chap stick (that I never use - see Chapstick thread)
A small mirror
