I seemed to accumulate quite a few purses. First I have one in the closet that is one of my favorites but a few years old. One I bought at an Arm Candy party my daughter in law had.....two I got from a Butterfly party and I love both of them. Then I have a cloth one for summer! Do you just stick to one or do you have alot that you can change around with your different moods or outfits?

I have about 5. But I usually just use my favorite. It is a jean "hobo" purse that I van wear of me so my hands are free.That's the one I use in the fall winter. As soon as we Really get spring weather and not just spurts I will change to a smaller tan purse. The other three are either for fancy dress or back ups for my favorites.

Oh yes. I am glad too. They don't seem to make the purse I like anymore.

I am a one purse woman..lol Generally use a black purse all year. Bought one big enough this time to hold a small album of the grandkids so I can show them off.
What is a butterfly party? Am assuming everything is about butterflies. Sounds like a cute idea.

i have a lot of purse. most of them i bought for myself and many of them i got as gifts. i don't usually use them though. ^__^;; but whenever i do, i use one that goes with my outfit. sometimes i just don't bother which one i would use coz it takes me a long time to decide on matching my attire with a purse.

Good you started thsi discussion, it clarified my image of myself!!!! I always thought of myself as not too much into purses or handbags but today I took the time out and sorted and counted my collection, not a very measly total of 22 ! One thing is clear, I am not buying any purses for a decade now..the worst part is I discovered many which I hadn't used for years, what a waste of space and money.

I have a lot of purses too! I even bought a purse rack lol. I hung i ton my wall and put my purses up! It saved me a lot of space in one of my cabinent shelves by doing that! I have a couple I got from my sister as a birthday present (one is outlined in red with a black and whit epicture of a golden retriever puppy with a red bandana and the other is outlined in light blue with a black and white picture of a cat looking at a goldfish in its bowl). Very cute purses! =P I also have a cute black purse with a kind of belt on it, a small yellow one I got from a friend...and a couple more.

Hi Jill, I have just the one purse but seeing this has reminded me that I really do need to get myself another as it is getting very worn. I like a smaller one otherwise I clutter it up with receipts and bits and pieces instead of money and cards which is it purpose, but reading this it sound like a purse could be a handbag and these I do have different ones of to go with different outfits and also a larger cloth one for the summer as I tend to carry more as often walk to the beach. Ellie :D

I have 3. I just switch every now and then. Right now the one I have is just too big and I am tired of fighting with to give up my items when I need them without me having to do a full cavity search. haha. So, I am going to switch it out for a slightly smaller one for a little while. I do not switch to match outfits, or seasons or anything like that.

Well i have kinda cut back on my spending fo the time being. But i love love love purses. At one point i had to just give a lot of them away becuase i had too many. I was running out of room in my WALK IN closet. But i love purses. I am just a girl girly .If for any occasion my family and friends have to get me a gift, they can never go wron gwith buying or making me a purse. It will be put to good use.

I don't really carry a purse. I have a couple in the closet that I used to use and are still pretty new. Purses to me just get in the way. All the stuff I carry is just my cell phone, money and keys. All of which can go in my pocket or in my hand.

I have tons, but part of it is my job! I am an accessories buyer for Macy's so part of my job is to decide what is available for purchase. This also means that I get to see all of the options, not just the ones in stores.
This is a good and bad thing though. Since I have more choices, I have more purses. A lot of the ones that I have are not available in stores because they would not do well in sales, either because of color, cut or whatever reason.
Since I sew, I have made those little purse insert things they they sell and just keep them in my purses, that way all I have to change is my wallet, and everything else, like lipgloss and everything is already stocked and it each purse.
