I have three that get used, one that used to be used a lot, and a bunch I use never. Of the three, one gets used only on weekends (holds just key and wallet,) one gets used on weekends if I am carrying more than that and now when I travel, and the third is a monster I use only if travelling with anything bulkier than a couple books, ipod and a waterbottle.

And then I carry a satchel to work.

ita, I have one that I carry until it gets retired or repaired. I used to be better about changing for spring and fall, but not so much now. If I was going to an event, I would probably invest in a coordinating bag for an outfit, but I haven't been in that situation in long time.

And then I carry a satchel to work.

This was me for a long time. The fact that it looked like Giles' was just bonus. Wonder where that is?

I have about 5. One I carry every day (this one [link] which is AWESOME), and a couple of dressy bags, and some old ones, which I keep around in case I need them.

And then I carry a satchel to work.

Oh yeah. Whatever handbag I'm carrying is completely separate from my bookbag. (My MCR bookbag, because I am completely devoid of shame.)

The leather satchel is in need of a good cleaning treatment. It's 12 years old and kinda beat up. But I love it. Handmade in Prague. I've spilled water and robitussin in it. I've mashed bananas into it. None of that ruined it at all. But the leather needs a good conditioning.

Julie, may your cat get bored and come home.

I have three purses--the everyday one that's big enough to hold everything, including a book or two up to trade paperback size, and with a long enough strap that I can wear over my shoulder to be hands-free, a fancy clutch I almost never use, and a tiny cloth one in a sort of Indian patchwork that's just big enough to hold ID and money.

I have a couple of purses I use regularly, but I use them interchangeably with totes and cloth bags depending on how much stuff I have. I never want to carry more than one bag. I have one little going out purse that gets used probably once every couple of months.

I carry a purse, a bag for my lunch and books and a laptop bag. I would love a purse big enough to replace the bag, but the one I have doesn't have straps long enough. I probably have about 20 bags, but I carry one at a time until I get bored and switch, although I would really prefer to have the energy to at least have the bag match my shoes.

I never carry a purse. I may have one stuffed in the back of a drawer somewhere.

I so fail at the girl thing.

But...what do you put your stuff in?
