Obsessed with BAGS

A woman can never has too many bags. For me, accessories like handbags are crucial to complete an outfit with style, something I wouldn't mind splurging on. As I am not a 'uniform' person who can bear wearing the same / similar outfit day in and day out, I tend to change my handbags fairly often to go with what I am wearing on a particular day, and yes, I have lots of handbags to choose from, like my shoe-racks fit for a queen. 

The gist of changing up my handbags so frequently is the inner transfer bag (with a handle and loads of compartments) which save a lot of time and headaches. I make sure all my 'essentials' are in there and swapping handbags becomes a piece of cake as I know nothing is forgotten before I walk out the door. Of course, I also take into account what I am doing on the day, the weather which decide how much I need to carry with me. 

So what is in my handbag (or tote)?

In my transfer bag for all the essentials and smaller items:

handcream

deodorant

glasses cleaning cloth

store loyalty cards (in a silicon pouch)

business cards (in card holders)

my personal colour swatch

medications (including paracetamol)

tissues (dry and wet wipes)

face cleanser / cotton pads

And in my handbag du jour:

recycle bag

portable wifi (charged)

portable fan (charged)

wallet

keys (in a key holder)

phone (charged)

pen

mini notepad

a book (fiction or thriller)

No idea why people spend so much on 'mini-bags' which seem to be a trend these days. What do they put inside???

I like to be well prepared so lugging a medium - large size bag is a way of everyday life. However, I make sure I clear the contents out at the end of the day to be organised. 

How about you? Are u carrying too much (or too little) and would you consider swapping to a crossbody / rucksack option if you get shoulder and neck pain from all the weight bearing on you?
