I have four crossbody handbags - (3) leather and a burlap, which is my summertime out and about bag. The (3) leather bags have compartments that helps me organize things.
I no longer carry my wallet in the back pocket of my jeans while at work; instead I keep it in a pocket of my soft-briefcase. Outside of work, I carry a handbag most of the time. I love them and I am always keeping my eyes open for different color.
About a year ago I was embarrassed at the grocery store checkout, when I reached into my purse and discovered that I did not have my wallet with me (I had changed purses, but forgot the wallet). The store associate told me not to worry, it happens frequently.
