Women know that there's nothing worse than standing at a checkout counter digging in your purse for coupons, change or money. Looking for your car keys or your cell phone can take up precious time. There's already not enough hours in the day to get everything done that we'd like, so why waste it searching for things in our purses. Here are some ideas and tips to help make your life and your handbag clutter free.
Let's begin with things to look for when purchasing a new handbag. Shop for one with some built in storage options like inside pockets or cell phone pouches. Outside pockets are great for keys and phones. And remember the more oversized the bag, the more things you'll have to get lost in that bag.
Another thing that people overlook is their wallet. Look for one that has not only a place for credit cards and dollar bills but a place for your change as well. Why carry a separate change purse? It's one more thing to search for at key times.
Makeup bags in different sizes and colors can be used to organize things within your bag. Cosmetics can go in one and coupons & receipts in another. Clear zip lock bags are a great option too. They work well for vitamins, aspirin, tissues or hand sanitizer. Purchase travel size products that will take up less room.
And remember, we do not have to carry everything that we own in our handbags. Lighten up your load. Your shoulders and back will thank you.
Dawn Falcone's design career began at an early age. She spent a great deal of her childhood organizing her mother's closet, decorating & redecorating her bedroom, hand painting & beading jean jackets and designing her own prom dresses. Her love of different art forms made it difficult to choose a major in college. Throughout her life Dawn was told that she had to focus her career on only one of her talents, so her parents convinced her to study fashion design. She headed to NYC to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
After graduating she realized that fashion alone was not enough. She was happiest and most fulfilled exploring and developing all of her creative talents. She worked for Fendi's watch division setting up display cases at high-end retailers. She has been a freelance costume designer and wardrobe consultant for Independent films and theaters. She worked as a fashion stylist for photographers and for individuals. Dawn helped coordinate and decorate weddings and numerous special events and even studied acting.
