This is my purse.
A vision, oui? All those receipts, spilled make-up, earrings, random stuff… Every time I had to find something, I had to wade through waves of stuff to find whatever it was. And it always took me FOR-EV-ER to find anything despite it not being a very big purse! Enter this new beauty:
She is my new fall/winter bag and I love her. Her beauty inspired me to buy these lovely organizing helpers:
They’re from Chapters and the sayings (“Like a Boss”, “I can and I will” and “World Domination”) are an adorable bonus. I then dumped out all of my stuff out of my bag and divided everything into these 4 pouches.
The first holds my receipts for the month (which makes me feel like I’m being accountable – “like a boss”):
Next up is my make-up pouch. In the morning rush, I sometimes forget to put make-up on so I apply it at work so as not to horrify any of my co-workers. It falls into the “I can and I will” pouch as in, “I can look presentable and I will at least try!” Here are my lifesavers and their new home:
The rest of my goodies, including mints, tissues, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, and pain relievers make me believe that with all these necessities, I can achieve “world domination”. Ok not really but at least they have my back if I need any moisturizers or have a headache:
The last pouch (and the prettiest!) is reserved for my gift cards:
I don’t always think to bring them when I’m out and about and curse myself when I could have potentially used one. So my thought was if I always carry them with me, I won’t be caught short:
The final result?
Sanity has now been restored. All that lives in my new beautiful bag are these pouches, my keys, my wallet and my phone:
(*cue Stevie Wonder*) Isn’t she love…ly?!

THIS IS SO SMART!!!! I need to implement some kind of similar system to the mayhem that is going on with my diaper bag-slash-purse right now.
(PS. You’ve got a pretty good stash of gift cards there, lady! Holla!)
