I have this "flight attendant" bag, black with 4 zippers. I wanted the last compartment to be personal, you know, tissues, lipstick, dental, cough drops, and such. So of course, the car key snap thing (a fingernail breaker) is in that compartment.
So here's my question: this purse is for females. It has slots for pens. So why can't the personal section have a slot for lipstick, a pocket for throat drops, and so on. Or why can't it have a pull-up thing with slots for everything? And where's my magic water bottle? I need both hands for hands free shopping.
The next compartment has the pencil slots, and pockets for biz cards and basic phone. So with pencil slots, it's the business compartment. My purse calendar with shopping list clipped on, is in here. Also a lifesaving map of my new area. Said map is getting shredded by pulling out the calendar and such.
Now the third, smaller, compartment is used for my multifold wallet, which makes the slim-line purse look like a badger is hiding in here.
Finally, down at the bottom is the smallest compartment. I could complain about how hard it is to use, but . . .
My real question is this: why do other women I see (including actual flight attendants) and others manage to keep this style purse looking virtually empty? They wear lipstick. If they look good enough I guess they can borrow a pen from a guy. So they don't have the umpteen insurance cards and money cards? And other cards that have to be shown, not just looked up on their phone? And a comb? And a driver's license?
If you have any idea on this, do let me know. Meantime I may have to bite the bullet, so to speak, and look for a very flat wallet that still lets me find my library card (for my Michael Connolly fix) and my coffee shop card. In a hurry.
