What does your purse say about you?

“Fashion is about which purse you carry, but life is about what you carry in your purse!” says award-winning filmmaker Coleen Hubbard. *

On this rainy weekend, I decided it was time to organize my closet. In a corner I found a big bag with many of my “old” purses. Old, not necessarily because I have had them for a long time or because they are in bad shape, old because they are the ones I used before my daughter was born.  Being able to match, follow trends and keep up with fashion are definitely not the priority now. What does matters is you need everything to fit.

Tell me what is in your purse and I will tell you who you are….hmmmm

I checked my purse (which actually is a red backpack) and this is what I found in it:

-          My wallet

-          My phone

-          My keys

-          Lottery tickets

-          Hand sanitizer

-          2 diapers

-          Baby wipes

-          1 emergency squished cookie

-          Zip lock bag with cheerios

-          Pacifier

-          Extra onesie (you never know)

-          2 mega blocks

-          Many many crumbs of I don’t know what

I came to the conclusion, the days of bags with just a wallet, phone, and makeup are gone.

So, what’s in your purse?


* Coleen Hubbard made a movie about purses and created a unique, fun and funny event for women—celebrating our handbags and all that they mean to us.
“The Contents of Her Purse” is an intimate and hilarious exploration of the depths of women’s handbags—and all that their contents reveal about vanity, necessity, and identity. From a five-year-old girl with her very first “toy” purse, to a 95-year-old senior whose purse holds a handicap parking sticker and denture cream, Hubbard’s film features interviews with women from every point on the female life cycle.
