So many purses, so little time...

So, you've got quite a collection of purses, but you stick with only one of them. Why? You simply don't have the time to transfer all of your "stuff" from one bag to another. In the morning, when you are running out of your house, the last thing you want to do is coordinate purses to outfits. You are just hoping to be not more than five minutes late, right?

If you recognize this scenario, keep reading. That was me a couple of months ago. I had all these cute bags sitting on the shelf and not being used. I thought, what was the point of buying them if I am not going to show them off? Therefore, I devised a method to switch purses without wasting any time.

I found a small cosmetic container (the kind they give you in department stores when the makeup you buy comes with a bonus) and put all of my essentials in it. It now contains:

• mints, gum
• tiny lotion, brush-ups, floss
• excedrin
• tide to go (saved me yesterday when I spilled some Masaman curry on my white skirt)
• lipstick, lipliner, gloss
• tissues
• powder
• hair elastic
• pen
• tiny cute mirror

So, the only two things I have to switch from one purse to another are my wallet and the cosmetic container. It helps that all of my bags are kind of large (I use them instead of diaper bags; those tend to be somewhat ugly). Let me know if you find this tip useful.
