If one day in all the hustle and bustle of life I lost my purse I would honestly feel extremely lost. It’s in a way a life line for me. It has a lot of basic things I use daily. I think my first thought would be that it would definitely not go unnoticed, some would call my purse a bag vs. a normal everyday purse. I think this lucky person to find it would probably think I'm much unorganized because of its size and amount of things inside. On the contrary its size helps keep me organized more. My explanation of having such a large purse (bag) is because I’m on the run a lot, so it helps me be able to not forget things running from work, to school, to the barn, and so on.
Venturing inside my purse you’d find many things such as a small organizer, chapstick, a camera, eye drops, Tylenol and a makeup compact. I think if it wasn’t for the fact that everything is in a purse, it would be very obvious that I’m a female. I’m a very prepared person like I said I’m not at home often so I like having little “lifesavers” conveniently always with me. Such as when you wake up and its just one of those days that your contacts never want to cooperate, I’ll always have eye drops to resort to or Tylenol if dealing with them gives me a headache. The organizer to the untrained eye, or in other words anyone who doesn’t actually know me, looks like I’m very organized but if they take the time to open it up and look at the calendar they’d learn I’m an organized person want to be. I always have good intentions for that calendar but the only thing I ever remember to put in it is days I have bills due. No matter how cell phone savvy I am I still like to be able to write things down vs. into my cell phone. The makeup and chapstick show that I’m a girl who likes to present her best. Along with the parts that would make me appear a responsible young female like I would like to focus on there are also DVDs needing to be returned, along with a birthday card I’ve been needing to bring to my sister. I put them in my purse as a daily reminder of things I need to do, though they are usually just lost in the vast size of my purse for a few days.
Then they would come to my wallet. My wallet surprisingly like the rest of my purse identity is very tidy and organized. Due to being unable to keep a large amount of things in it or it will not close, I only keep what I use frequently inside of it. I have my driver’s license, car insurance and medical insurance cards, Nordstrom’s debit card, and bank debit card nicely lined up. Then to the sides I have 1 credit card in case of emergencies, a few dollars in cash, a Starbucks card and stamps. I think if someone just looked at my wallet I would appear a completely different person, someone who likes brand names I.E. Starbucks and Nordstrom’s. There’s so much my wallet doesn’t show about me at all. Whoever found my purse or wallet would never know I’m a huge animal person, I love being outdoors and I love traveling. I think when it comes to my wallet it doesn’t show who I am at all. The Starbucks gift card even though it would appear part of my identity through someone else’s eyes, was given to me and I honestly would prefer a cheap coffee stand mocha any day over brand name coffee which makes you pay for that name on its cup. I would say my purse is a better representation of myself as it shows my trying to be organized, chaotic side more, compared to my neat small wallet I don’t use nearly as much as my purse everyday. Using my purse everyday however I feel does make it part of my identity as it is part of me at this time in my life and shows what I need and resort to everyday as a 22 year old.
