The other day my husband very tactfully told me that the large carryall nebulous handbags that I am so often drawn to are not super flattering to my somewhat petite and curvy body type. Well, I have to admit that he’s right so I have been trying to use more angular, thinner and altogether smaller bags.
I really need to carry less in my purse anyway. I have to realize that it’s okay to not always everything that I might need on hand and that I can find a band-aid, lotion, tylenol somewhere else if I really have to have it.
I did figure out one time that a big purse is really necessary and that is when you are trying to sneak candy into the movie theater. Yup, I do it. I admit it. And there is no way to fit a 20 oz drink and a box of Mike & Ikes into a small flat purse. We went to see the movie Micmacs (which I highly recommend, especially for you Amelie lovers out there) and in addition to our $20 movie tickets, shelled out $10 more for candy. Heartbreaking.
Next time I’ll have to plan better.
