I’m definitely a purse carrier, although I will only carry a small one. It is large enough to put in my cell phone, assorted i.d. and cards, a pen, lip balm or lipstick.

I carry a purse because I am a self-confessed girly-girl, and because I seldom wear clothes that have pockets in them.

Is a messenger bag one of those ones that’s big enough to fit a whole file folder in? This one isn’t so large.
