What’s in My Bag: Spring 2017 Small Crossbody

I’m so fascinated by What’s in My Bag posts. I think deeply about how I organize my own bags, so that might be the reason I always want to see how other do theirs. Over the last year, I went from being a bag lady, carrying large totes filled with essentials, to now carrying fairly small bags. How did I make the transition? I downsized my essentials. Here’s how I’ve been packing my Coach Dinky crossbody bag.

What’s in my small crossbody bag:

 Leather card case | Business card case | myCharge Style Power c/o | Keys (not shown) | Phone

Project 7 gum | Shea Moisture lip balm | Lotion | Tissue

The big challenge to packing this small crossbody was my wallet. It occupied too much space. I’d been searching for a smaller wallet with no luck. So, I eventually decided to start using a card case instead, and I found the perfect one on Amazon for under $15. My hot pink leather card case comes in several fun colors and a few neutrals . It has 6 card slots and a center slot for cash or anything else. The slots securely hold my cards, but not so tightly that they’re a pain to get out when needed.

I rely on my iPhone 7 all day long, from checking emails to engaging on social media. And, those apps drain the battery so quickly. So, I like to have a portable charger with me just in case I don’t have access to an outlet. I have a Mophie, which I love, but needed something more compact for my smaller bags. The myCharge Style Power was the answer! It’s super stylish too.

So, what’s in your small bag?
