    Tiny wallet? Just in your pocket? Big ole purse? Backpack?

    I carry a medium sized purse and if I need extra stuff, I have a thousand different bags to choose from. For school, I carry a big fabulous Vera backpack.

    I almost always have a purse or bag with me, but lately I've been grabbing my license and credit card and phone and zipping them into various pockets of my coat so I don't have to lug my purse around with me. I'm known to swap purses or bags depending on where we are going frequently too. The only problem with that is that I tend to forget some key item in the purse I left at home. My hubby is constantly shaking his head at me for this. I just bought the coolest new bag with my Christmas money too. I saw it in a shop in our little downtown and thought it was a Vera bag, but it turned out to be a Stephanie Dawn. I LOVE it!

    Depends on where I'm going and what I think I might need. I try to take as little as possible. I usually grab my very small wallet keys and phone in my pocket for a trip to the store. If I'm carrying my laptop to and fro work I have a backpack. I have a huge assortment of purses and backpacks. I haven't found that perfect combination of hold enough without being too heavy, and I seriously avoid too big so I won't be tempted to stuff in more stuff..

    usually tiny wristlet wallets ... with room for just my phone and keys attached to the wristlet part. i hate lugging big purses/bags around.

    Right now I carry this (in a slightly different color):

    It's pretty big, but it does with everything, and one of my flaws is that my purse MUST match what I'm wearing. So I used to switch purses out a lot.

    Ooooo! I am loving all the images in this thread ! Definitely will itch to buy one by the end of it! Lol :) I love buying purses but am currently carrying all my cards in my iPhone case. I carry a small purse for keys n any other tit bits .... But that's really small ... Almost a clutch...

    I swear by cross body small bags slung across - hands free! Anything bigger or shinier attracts unwanted attention (my two little girls!) LOL... Love love love Cath Kidston (UK brand). Actually got some stuff from there recently but knowing me they're all neatly packed and tucked in somewhere :)

    I have a black medium size cross body purse. It is the perfect size for my wallet and I can fit the iPad mini in it. It also has two pockets on the front, one for my glasses and the other for my phone.

    In the warm weather I tend to just have my wallet, keys and phone. At baseball I just lock my wallet in the trunk of my car.

    My Filofax is my wallet. In the winter I get everything in coat pockets, but in the summer I need a purse. I tend to go for "just big enough" but I do have some larger ones I need more stuff.

    This is the crossbody I carry every day. I used to carry a backpack & decided I needed to move up. I had no idea it would be my go to bag. I love it. So many pockets, so versatile.

    Right now I carry this Coach purse in black with a silver chain. I love it. Never been a wallet girl, I need pockets on the inside to house my "shtuff". This one has three.
