Bought my first shoulder bag. :o

Well, since I switched exclusively to women's jeans I've run into the annoying problem of not having any idea where to put my Wallet... or my cell phone.. or my keys.. The wallet was the worst though because Ive had it forever and it has a chain on it that I would usually hide the majority of in my pocket. I just lack the pocket space to carry all this stuff around on me now! I mean if I did try to stuff all of this junk into my pockets I would look really.. really strange.

So I decided that I would grab my friend who is way more fashion knowledgeable than me, and he helped me pick out a really nice smallish shoulder bag big enough to fit everything I need inside of it, and a matching wallet. Honestly glad I got some help, as my instinct would have to have been to go with something black, he had me go with a white bag with black trim, and I have to admit it really does look better especially for spring! Was a little costly though, I swear transitioning just leaves me perpetually broke.

Anyways it's really my first purse of any kind, and it's sooo nice to finally have somewhere to put all this stuff with out trying to stuff it all into these tiny pockets! Maybe I'll take a picture of it here later tonight or something. :D

I always hate tiny pockets. My wallet is too thick. Hnnng.

Congrats on the new accessory!

I'm working on losing weight so I can fit into a nice suit.

Also what video games do you like?

That's really nice that you got some help in picking out a good bag! I know I'm going to need to think about getting a bag soon too. I keep everything in my coat for the time being.

I'd definitely want to see pics of what you got!

Ah, the first handbag. Then soon it is the second. It is all so innocent. Then you leave the handbags together by the bed, or in the chair overnight. Next morning POOF!!! you have six or eight of them. LOL! It's a girl thing. Giggle. Hug. JodyAnn

I got a lot of them early in my trans life but now i have a favorite. It's an old black leather coach bag. It holds everything so well. Just enough space for me if i keep the wrappers out. it feels right with just about anything except a really formal outfit. I never have a chance for that anyway so its been great for a year = now. Can'r leave home without it. i wouldn't ever want to put things in my pockets again.

Hugs,

Charlie

Alright, finally got a picture uploaded, my Phone decided to take a 2 megabyte picture so I had to do some editing to get it uploaded! lol

FirstHandbag

Got it at JCPenny, wanted something that wasn't huge for now and the shape was a good fit for what I was wanting.

And yeah Jody, I actually saw a second one there that I liked and seriously thought about buying but it would have been way to expensive to get both! So I got just the one... for now.

Angel, it's pretty short. It's just big enough to go over the shoulder with some extra room. Just about what I was looking for for the time being. :)

Thanks Sam :) My sense of style tends to be a little to punky/darkish, I'll go with black 99.9% of the time. Even though there are alot of styles I like I just have no practice going out and actually going for said styles. lol

I'm totally with you on the black thing... at some point, the vast majority of clothing I had were dark colored or just black...

Love it except I like them long and black goes with anything and the the longer the better feels more comfortable over my shoulders

What brand is it ? It's not Prada is it ?

Angel :)

Nope not Prada, it's LuLu by Lulu Guinness.

Though to be honest my friend would totally like to get me hooked on designer stuff like Prada. :D lol

The other one I looked at, the same brand had a longer strap, and the bag was a bit bigger. It was so pretty but I couldn't afford both so I went with simpler for now. :)

I love purses. Beware though: I started with a small one, just like you, to carry the essentials.

...then I needed more essentials and as a result, my purse got larger.

Link to comment

Oh, it's a rule! The bigger the purse, the more the stuff. I started with really small purses, they expanded. Giggle. Then someone gave me a really big purse, telling me it made me look smaller. After I had small, medium and large, the flood gates opened. Now I have a litter of purses. Dump it out on the bed, pick the one for the day. Scoop all the needed goodies into the new one. Grab it and fly! The curse of the purse comes at bedtime, when you have to figure out what to do with what is still laying on the bed. Sometimes it's really weird treasures. No complaints here...

...other than I don't have THAT PURSE! Sooo Jealoussssss. Just kidding, it is a great purse though. Thanks for the pic. Hug. JodyAnn

That was what my friend said too when suggesting that particular color combo! :D I really actually like it.

:D I'm sorry Angel! Hopefully you'll find something you love!

Well, now that I think about it. I'm sure I could find more stuff to fill it with, and there was a larger purse that I did like but ultimately didn't buy. So I have no doubt the same thing will happen with me! LOL Though there is still quite a bit of room in this one... but I don't really own any makeup yet either.

Jody, I can't say I have a pile of bags yet, just the one.. But I am already totally there with Shoes! :D

      Sup singly, a superintendent prevented a student within the transgender community from changing current name, to the new name in which the student identifies with, I don't know how far back this story goes, but if you Google it under Oklahoma along with "student name change" the article should pop up. I'm not transgender, but I can relate to the process of legally getting a name change done, it's a lot of paperwork from court, a lot of traveling, and expenses depending on the laws from each state.

      No one seemed to pay attention to me other than a young woman who complimented me on my skirt and an older gentleman who smiled at me as we passed each other.

      Wow, I guess it’s the dat to be in trouble.  I’ve been hit twice by the ASM today and it’s my day off.  Why didn’t you, followed latter with a where is the.  Made me realize that I do t want to continue working long enough to pay for it. I guess I’ll just to have to stick with my 20 year old car for now.   I suppose sooner or later only one of us won’t be able to drive anymore.  Since I am older you might think it would be me but at this time i am the one that does all the driving except when she goes to church or the store when I’m at work.  She hasn’t driven anywhere since February and hasn’t driven more than 10 miles in perhaps a year.  Yet the “good” car was purchased for her not for me because she couldn’t drive the Jeep which we bought strictly for her because she wanted it.  But it turned out I was the one that really liked it.  Can’t win.

      Good morning :)   I have coffee today, but the cup keeps leaking (I guess the cap isn't able to fully seal or something), so I keep having to wipe up the sides lol   Almost finished all my missing work for school, which means if I do a bit more work, I should be out of trouble with my parents (not even that bad of trouble compared to when I was younger, more just an annoyance haha)

      Sending good thoughts for you, Raine.

      Good morning 😘   Finished packing up my kitchen and pantry for fumigation today. I also modified my backpack to make it day-centre compliant.  I was able to get almost 2 hrs sleep last night, so I'll survive. 😑

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.
