You'd still have to do a bit of swapping but not too much, and probably less likely to forget something. For me, I usually have to carry a big bag with all the baby stuff in it. BUT, on the rare occasion I get to go out without children I like to carry a SMALL bag.

I live in the north, so the heat doesn't apply. I love a bag with a cross strap and lots of pockets. I need to make one of the pockets the remove pocket like you, I have too many receipts taking up room.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064084924219498676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-20369360612895495442015-08-26T09:31:10.917-05:002015-08-26T09:31:10.917-05:00I have also some bags for different purposes, but ...I have also some bags for different purposes, but I hate to change them - too much work :).

I have one basic brown that I mainly use, and is big enough for my Franklin Covey & what I consider necessities. I wear it a across one shoulder for hands-free carrying. Generally I don't do black bags, but I have a cute black bag with a design on the front that is smaller for when I just need a few things. I have a bigger bag that matches that for my airplane "personal item." I always feel more put together traveling when I wear black and I have my black bag. It may just be all in my head. ;)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192064538924964308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-75937665662503963412015-08-21T12:56:49.202-05:002015-08-21T12:56:49.202-05:00I have to have a bag that will hold my planner.

My husband will sometimes look at me like I am out of my mind when I mention that my bag isn't doing it for me anymore and I have to find a different bag. I have a messenger bag I have considered carrying as a purse, but then hubby looks at me like he might dial up the men in white coats.Jaime Barfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00972868515863957645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-22458643462423330732015-08-21T04:00:25.973-05:002015-08-21T04:00:25.973-05:00I consider myself a "purse-a-holic" but ...I consider myself a "purse-a-holic" but somehow, no matter how many purses I have/buy, I always end up going back to my Ameribag Healthy Back Bag. It honestly seem to reduce the weight. I also tend to use fabric bags now. I love love love leather but, you are right, they tend to end up a lot heavier. I do tend to like black for my bags though and all of them are black. Ha Ha Ha! Love your blog and love getting the e-mails as well.

And no expensive ones, either, because why spend all that money on a purse when there are so many way-more-fun-things to spend that money on! Compartments are important, yes, because getting my keys out of my purse while finishing at the check out in the grocery store is important, and I need to be able to do that one handed while the cashier gives me a receipt. xDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085189065957396781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-39108540773254358512015-08-20T08:49:46.030-05:002015-08-20T08:49:46.030-05:00I am so with you on this.

I carry a work tote every day that fits wallet, makeup case, eyeglass case, business card case, iPhone 6+ and my A5 planner comfortably, plus has a large zippered section and two pocket sections. I can also shove files, store flyers, coupon holder, lunch, water bottle in it as well. It has long enough straps to go over my shoulder if needs be. I got it at TJ Maxx for $30 and is cream, taupe and black-toned - goes with everything.<br /><br />On the weekend, I'll switch to a wristlet that just holds the essentials (when I don't need to take my planner with me). As for price, my sister bought me a canvas Coach bag for Christmas several years ago and feel bad because I don't use it. I just don't like it. I also treated myself to a gorgeous, caramel leather D&B bag 2 years ago, but rarely use. I'm too afraid of scratches and pen marks. I much prefer a wide collection of inexpensive bag than one that costs more than my summer electric bill!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-73367952067331321292015-08-20T06:33:02.195-05:002015-08-20T06:33:02.195-05:00I LOVE this post!
