When it takes 10 minutes to find your phone in your purse, or if you refer to your handbag as “the back hole”, then it’s probably time for you to do some purging and organize your purse. It may seem impossible to whittle down the number of items you have in your purse, but it’s possible! Here are a few great tips on how to have an organized purse.
I use a totally different method which does require a medium size purse. I have 3 small plastic mesh zip bags in different colors. In one I keep my wallet, phone and keys. In another I keep a pen, paper, store coupons, receipts and extra business cards. Finally, I put my lipsticks, lotion, Kleenex, a small comb and mirror, and a small pill case in the third bag. My sunglasses travel in their own case. I can easily switch purses this way, or just grab the wallet, phone and key bag if I am traveling really light. This method obviously doesn’t work for someone who carries loads of things, but I like to keep it simple.
I also use small zipper-topped “pouches” for different types of items — keeps smaller/similar items together so you always have them with you in an organized fashion – makes it easier to transfer bags/purses when you want to change them out, and to find them when you need them.
