Scenario:

You’re at a bank where the teller asks for some identification. 5 minutes of  holding up the line and digging through all the crap you manage to fit into your purse you finally find your wallet where you stashed your ID in.. at last!

After an hour long cab drive you finally reach your destination. Being the person you are, you wait till the last minute to bring out the cash to pay the cab driver. The meter reads 129, and knowing that the cab driver isn’t going to give you your change if you give him 150, you look for some change. So again, you dig through your purse looking for the change you threw into your purse a moment ago amongst the candy wrappers and receipts you’ve collected from several months back… this ultimately adds another 2.50 to the meter from all the waiting.

People who like big bags probably know what I’m talking about. I frequently have this problem. I’ve had to go back home several times before thinking I left my cell phone only to find out that it was buried in my purse. I found a solution for that as you can seen in the pictures above.

I use to think that clear or see through cosmetic bags were tacky but I’ve recently come to appreciate them in a whole new level. Instead of dumping all my belongings in my purse I have two separate cosmetic bags that have kept my belongings organized.

I keep a smaller pouch for all my make up and vanity needs and another bigger clear pouch for pens, keys, ID, coin purse, card holder etc… Gone are the days of digging, if I need something from my bag I bring out the pouch and I can already see what I’m looking for.

Get organized people, these pouches are less that Php200 a piece, the larger bag can be bought at any SM department store and smaller one at Watsons.

thats a great idea! especially since i have to share my purse with my baby’s things.(diapers, etra clothes,snacks, etc) because i HATE to have to carry a separate diaper bag-too much stuff!

hahaha! I do this! I have one tiny pouch for electronics (mp3 player + earphone + 2 flash drives on one side… and two mobile phones on the other), my kikay kit, and my wallet. I’ve been thinking of rearranging it actually. I need to put hair pins, safety pins, my swiss knife and my pepper spray (girl scout!). I’ve been wondering where to get those clear pouch bags.

Thanks for posting! You gotta love SM. They have everything.
