You reach into your purse to get your favorite lip gloss and your hand grabs everything but the one thing you wanted. How many times has this happened to you before? It seems that whenever we need to find something in our purses, it is nowhere to be found! I always start off with the good intentions of keeping things in the pockets of my purse so I know where everything is. Yet, as time goes on, all my items just seem to fall into the dark hole that is the bottom of the bag, and maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll find that lipstick I wanted to wear a month from now. Is it just me or is it really hard to keep purses organized?
Aside from not being able to find your essentials, having your items scattered in your purse makes it difficult to change bags without missing at least one item. The struggle! The good news is that it is easier to organize your purse than you realize – and you can do it in the cutest way possible.
