Purse peek!

Me & my new ModCloth bag--very happy together.

Alrighty, so I'm finally doing one of those "What's in my purse?" posts. I think the contents of someone's bag says a lot about them, and I've been brought up to believe that the inner secrets of a woman's purse is an extremely private thing. I don't even let my boyfriend look in my bag (but okay, that's probably just because I'd be embarrassed for him to discover the month old sandwich rotting away in a plastic bag or even just the usual girly products). However, I'm totally willing to share on here. Pictured below is actually the maximum amount of the things I'll ever have in my bag at a time, minus some textbooks for class or maybe a sweater (and a bunch of wrappers and lint). I'm a pretty low-maintenance girl. Usually for class I'll just stuff my books in my green H&M messenger bag, grab my keys, gloves and MP3 player and go. But for the sake of being interesting, here's a broader look at things I tote around with me:

Here it is all crammed together in my bag:
And here it is neatly laid out on the floor:

Now, to break it down. I usually have a large lined notebook for class or writing or list-making with me, and often have my sketchbook handy too. Either way, I doodle a lot.Here, you can see my checkbook, David Sedaris' "When You Are Engulfed in Flames," which is a great book (I always have a book with me to read), and my lovely little book I found for 50 cents at a flea market. You can't see in the picture but the cover says, in gold, "The Scribble-In Book," and that's exactly what I do with it.

Oh, and my checkbook was so boring, I had to liven it up. Here's a blurry picture of the cute duck sticker I put on it. I'm also considering adding some Madagascar stickers that I have.I always have a planner/agenda type book with me; the one pictured isn't my usual. I left that one at home, unfortunately; I'm dying to recover it, because I keep tons of things written down in it. I also always have a handful of pens, and a wad of tissues or napkins for minor disasters.

My lovely striped gloves from Target, and I usually have snacks in the form of breakfast bars or something.My MP3 Player, given to me by my gracious sister who didn't want it anymore. The pink earbuds: not my choice, my mom's, haha. And of course, chapstick.

My keychain holds the key to my dormroom, my USB disc, and a little hummingbird my dad gave me. I also always have my college ID card with me, I have to use it for everything.Closeup of the hummingbird:

And my Minnie/Mickie Mouse wallet that my mom gave me years ago. It's actually more of a change purse than a wallet, but oh well. As you can see it's very fat, as it's overly stuffed with things. It's either really cute or really ridiculous, I've never been able to decide. Oh, and I also keep my phone in my purse, a Blackjack, but it's not pictured because I was, um, using it to take the pictures, hah.

And there you have it! Do you keep anything odd, interesting, handy, or even sentimental in your purse?
