I apologize in advance for the not-so-great quality of pictures. Taking them at night, with terrible lighting doesn't guarantee anything great. The flash went off for some, and not others...and I couldn't help that because my batteries are about dead.
I am in love with Vera Bradley bags and accessories. I love the variety of colors and patterns. I love how each item is made with the OCD organizer in mind. It's perfect.
The current Vera Bradley purse I'm carrying is called "Squared Away". The print is called "Watercolor". I'll be honest - I did not like the print at all when I bought the bag. Over the summer a local store was having a Vera Bradley clearance sale - 50% off everything - and I loved the bag design, so I bought it anyway. Now I love the pattern. I guess it just grew on me. There are two side pockets on the front corners. I use them for my sunglasses, keys, and cell phone.
The inside of the bag opens nice and wide without loosing everything. There is a zip pocket on one side and 3 slip pockets on the other. Plenty of storage. (Yeah, none of my VB accessories match. Used to drive me nuts, but now I love all of the colors.)
This wallet is awesome. It's called the "turn lock wallet".
Plenty of card slots on the inside.
And even more slots and space on the back end.
The top bag (black) is my cosmetic bag - holding tissues, floss picks, chapstick, nail clippers, bandaids, Shout wipes, and antibac. The other two zip pouches are for gift cards and rewards cards.

There you have it! Not too exciting, but definitely organized. =]
How do you keep your purse organized?
Someday, I hope my bag is this organized!! Right now it is just a big bag of everything, haha! Great ideas/ tips though!!
ReplyDeleteOMG I just bought a Vera Bradley bag it is called Mandy in Night and Day. It was on sale on their site, another blog that I follow she also did a post on what was inside her purse and it was a Vera Bradley and I love it. So it was an impulse buy but I am sure I will not be disappointed. It is due to arrive today cannot wait. Once I get my blog back up and running again I will create a post for it and share it with you. Love your bag and how organized it is hoping I can get mine to that point
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the 31 bag in your purse :) I sell it so that made me smile. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite Vera bags! I have it in Baroque. Vera bags are my favorite because of all the pockets. I have that same 31 organizer and I need to put it to good use!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that I really need to organize my purse better! Aside from my wallet, it is just a chaotic mess. I hope you don't mind - I linked to your blog here... http://getyourmomon.blogspot.com/2012/01/need-to-organize.html
ReplyDeleteThat's funny that you said that none of your VB items match. I'm definitely very OCD but none of mine match either! I like getting all the different designs and colors.

Very cute bag! I love that you keep it so organized! I am soooo bad about that!
ReplyDeleteI love your mismatched VB colors! :)
ReplyDeleteI love my VB, and while I stopped using it I am not sure why. I packed them away in the garage in bins. I shall make a plan to resurrect one pattern tonight. ( I can't cross patterns, it makes me feel disorganized). One thing you should look into for your rewards cards is an app called KeyRing on the iPhone ( not sure if you have one). It takes a scan of all your cards and stores them so you no longer need to carry all of those cards. My key ring was free of all those cards and I always have the with me. I can also share them with my family so if I send my son to the store he has my cards and not my keys! Also, if there is something on sale with a limit, I can purchase it using my cards and my husbands if he has his own cards.
ReplyDeleteI love how you organize your purse! I think it's brilliant that everything has its own pouch! The fact that they are all different and different colors allows you to find the one you need easily. Love it and live your site!
ReplyDeleteHi again! I had no idea my email address was being hidden when I commented, but i just updated my profile based in your post on how to (thank you!) and *fingers crossed* I hope I did it correctly! :)
