Big Purses Vs. Small Purses: Which Do Your Prefer?

You cant fit a day's worth of junk plus possibles in a little party purse.

Has to be big enough to deal with a spontaneous sack race!

I put everything but the kitchen sink in there. I never know what items I might need later on. My shoulder and back tell me that I should lighten up my load. My two favorites:

They are wayyyy cuter.

I like to be prepared. Some of us have lived a full life, full of crazy experiences and times you thought "If I only I would have had...." So I like my big purse. Ally Sheedy/Allison from "The Breakfast Club" had the right idea. "You never know when you may have to jam"

That way I can find my stuff easily and not have to search through a bazilion things

I rarely carry a purse anymore !! I use a cane most of the time, they get in the way, so I started wearing VESTS with good size pockets. Can put most things in my vest pockets, that leaves my left hand free and I use my cane with left. When I need to carry more use a backpack. Also spend less money, cause purses are overpriced.

I don't carry a purse but I'm always amazed at all the crap my wife has in her big ass purse.

But of course....

Oh, wait......You said "purses" . . . . .

Nevermind.

Really depend on outfit!

I have two a one for everyday

and one for dress

not the same color though.
But normally i am just caring my wallet in my son diaper backpack

SMALL! ...OVER SIZED PURSE SAYS YOU HAVE TO MUCH BAGGAGE AND ARE PROBABLY SPOTTING!

I like Women with small purses, it says "Organized".

Eh, somewhere in the middle. I like something durable that can hold all my stuff but not take up loads of space either.

I ♥ small purses :)

Small purses!

I prefer small purses but I have a couple of big purses that I also like. Sometimes I take the big ones sometimes the small ones.

It can hold all my work stuff

I can either take a big purse and bring all my stuff or just stuff my license and credit card along with some cash in my pocket.

A medium sized purse with no frame. That way if I don't have a lot to carry it's light and doesn't take up much room, but if I need to shove half of what I own in there I can, and I'll still have room if I feel like buying something else to put in there.
Last time I went out I brought: A pen, change, a writing pad, breath mints, my full make-up bag, makeup remover, contacts, a change of clothes, first aid kit, tampons, travel toothbrush and toothpaste, mini hairbrush, lint roller, snacks, water, sunscreen, deodorant, face wash, moisturizer, a book, a movie, and hair ties.
I was sleeping over at a friends in addition to going to a fair. Normally I don't have the change of clothes, face-wash, moisturizer or movie. Everything else is pretty much always with me.

Not that I don't have a big one.

All I need is my wallet an phone for a everyday thing but I supose big purses are fashionable sometimes.

Lesser of the two evils...lol.

It used to be, if it didn't fit in my pockets, pool cue bag or the glove box of my tiny convertible, it wasn't going. Life has changed, and I recently found a good laptop bag that holds ONLY what I need it to.

It seems I've been HAVING to carry a purse around, because I'm away from home most of the day, lately, and I HATE IT. They're cumbersome, and most of the time, I have to dig through several pockets to find a single thing.

Lezz see need to carry a 44 Magnum, car keys.two speed Loaders, and other items..

I prefer to keep my hands free. The gender inequality and materialistic implications of anyone toting around a diaper bag that isn't a diaper bag, needs a hands free briefcase (murse / man purse), backpack, or luggage handler , or a reassessment of why the need for so many things. if still applicable, ( for the woman on the go with out a car trunk to fill) then the big bag is a personal choice of fashionable item transport. But when on a date, leave it at home it doesn't make you look more petite, just more superficial, impractical, and needy. Where 1st impressions matter; you can tell a lot about a person by their baggage.

Not huge, but not a small a small one, because it won't hold my Glock.

i think people tend to stuff everything into big ones... like seriously.. if you can fit a medium size dog into your bag.. let alone a small one.. its time for you to get a new and better purse.. thats actually used for what it is suppose to be used for... -.-

I have both small and big purses, but I usually prefer a big purse.

It actually depends on the occassion as to which I'll carry and what I'll carry.

Efficiency. I don't have a lot I need to lug around.

HOWEVER...if I'm going to the movies and need to smuggle in non-overpriced goods, guess what I'm bringing?

How about no purses period. Important items like your wallet, your cell phone, designer shades, check book, etc. should be kept on your person. All you're doing is telling thieves "Here's all my valuable s##t in one place! Come and take it!"

If you have a bunch of crap to carry for no real reason, get a back pack.



Now there's style and grace ladies! Go ditch that tacky robbery magnet and go get yourselves some!

I actually prefer both! Some days a small purse will do, but other days a bigger purse works better. All depends on the outfit and what I need to carry with me :)

None, actually. I don't own a purse. I take my phone, some money and keys.

love them!

I have no need to carrying a suitcase....LOL!!!

you can put inside them any thing you want ;))

I was once told that my purse was so big that I could store my 6'9 bf in it lol

Now that they have outlawed plastic bags at the supermarket I use my huge purse to circumvent the bag charge.

Plastic bags are outlawed?
