“A woman’s purse is a reflection of her life…”
Judith Peters
Young women are taught early on to carry purses that hold their most valuable belongings. Anything important enough to leave the house will go inside of them like; every day essentials, or important documents. As they blossom into responsible women, they adapt the same habits & create their own style of bags that compliment their individual personalities. The type of handbag a woman carries, and the contents she holds inside, reveals a lot about who she is.
Here are 10 items that every classy girl should keep inside of her fashionable purse:
1♡ Gum
Whether it’s gum, tic tacs, breath mints, or mouthwash; there needs to be some type of breath freshener in your bag. There could be an instance where you’re chowing down your sub with so many yummy onions, & you have 5 minutes before you have to attend a life-changing meeting. You want to be prepared for the meeting by having gum in your purse, so you can speak confidently without your peers smelling what you had for lunch. When you have good breath, it’s just an indicator that you take care of your overall hygiene as a refined woman.
2♡ Perfume
Be sure to carry your favorite perfume in your purse so you can reapply when needed. It helps keep your aroma consistent if you have it on hand, so you can smell like a dream all day long; no matter how many hours you’re out & about. When you walk past someone, & the little breeze brushes their nose, & they inhale your scent; you want that smell to be a pleasant one.
3♡ Makeup Bag
Women who wear makeup NEED to have a makeup bag in their purse. It’s a MUST. What if your windows are rolled down on a windy day & you’re enjoying the breeze when all of a sudden a huge gust of wind makes the corner of your lash come out of place. Now on the whole way to your destination your eyes are watering because the lash is poking your inner tear duct because it’s not on properly. With lash glue, tweezers, & a lash curler already packed away in your makeup bag; you can fix the problem with no worries since you are prepared for any makeup mishap. I will create a separate post with all of the essentials that need to be in your makeup bag soon, so be on the lookout for that!
4♡ Deodorant
Good hygiene is so important for the classy woman to have, so body antiperspirants are crucial to be in your handbag. The best advice I was given from my mom is: “If you can smell yourself, then the people around you definitely can.” I’ve passed these words down to my daughter because it is so true. Be conscious of how you smell after a long day. If you know that you will have a full day of activities & you can get especially hot, then make sure you have the proper accommodations for yourself. It’s a sign of confidence & awareness when you take responsibility for your body & what your body needs as a woman to be in the best condition.
5♡ Weapon
This may seem funny or like a joke, but it is serious that a woman knows how to protect herself in this world. A safe place to put your security items are in your purse to ensure that you always feel comfortable alone. An ongoing tale is that you shouldn’t go into a woman’s purse because you may not like what you find, so the lesson is simply not go into a classy lady’s personal bag.
6♡ Phone Charger
Cell phones hold the most important information that people need more than anything else placed inside a purse. Phones have emergency numbers, a navigation system in case you need directions, & even your money; since everything is transferring to digital systems. Sometimes when people don’t have their phone on them, it’s harder to function without it since it assists you with daily activities. Always keep your charger in your purse, or even in your car, so you will never lose any means of communication. Mobile devices can track your location in case of an emergency, so making sure your phone is charged is necessary for your safety.
7♡ Notebook & Pen
A travel sized notebook & a special pen to write with are great for times when you don’t have your phone handy. There can come a time when there’s an important idea or number that you need to jot down, & you’ll be prepared by having the paper available in your purse. It’s another way to stay organized with grocery lists, tasks for the day, & timelines you have to meet. A classy woman is ready to take on any situation because she has planned for it & knows how to execute her plan.
8♡ Lotion
I know there’s been moments in your life after you go to shake someone’s hand, then you look at your own hands, & realize that they were so dry. Now you have paranoia because you’re trying to figure out if they seen the ash in between the cracks of your fingers or not. We’ve all had those days, but I’m here to tell you that you can conquer the ashiness. Keep some moisturizing hand lotion in your purse at all times! It’s the best when you find a scented one that you love because you’ll want to make sure to reapply it all day for the enticing smell! This tip will allow you to shake someone’s hand with confidence & purpose. You might even get a few compliments about how soft your hands are, or how they smell of warm honey & vanilla.
9♡ Hair Kit
Good hair days are the best hair days! When your hair looks how you want you can master anything as woman! Keep a comb or a utensil that you use to tame your hair in your purse so you can maintain your crown. For example, when you’re wearing a bun, you might need bobby pins to tack down your flyaways. Hair ties, brushes, or even edge control can help you manage your specific hair type on the go when they are in your purse.
10♡ Medicine
