"Confession: My handbag is kiiiiiiiiinda a black hole. Okay, it&amp;#x27;s a total black hole. I was on the subway the other day fishing around for my tissues when I reached in and pulled out an apple. I could not for the life of me remember putting an apple in there any time in the last, oh, two weeks. I dug deeper and turned up a camera cord I thought was gone for good, and a card for a friend whose birthday was months ago. Okay, so my schlepping habits may be less than prim and perfect, but it&amp;#x27;s an occupational hazard! I never know when I&amp;#x27;m going to need a pair of flats or a few spare buttons or...a three week old apple (don&amp;#x27;t judge!). And carrying all of that crap around means I pretty much never change my bag. It just becomes too daunting a task, and by the time I find a new bag to switch to and fish everything out of those countless little pockets and nooks and crannies, I&amp;#x27;ve inevitably a.) wasted a half hour and b.) arrived at the office with my new handbag and no ID card, because (surprise, surprise!) I left it in the black hole. I&amp;#x27;ve taken instead to finding one great neutral bag (I&amp;#x27;m currently rocking a black patent one I really love) and using it for a few months at a time before making a change. I&amp;#x27;ve never fallen victim to the It bag craze (I&amp;#x27;m much more of a shoe girl) and tend to be pretty sensible about them: I have a host of neutrals that go with pretty much every outfit (grey gets me through the fall, black in winter, and a lovely sandy tone is great for spring and summer) and I stick with them until I&amp;#x27;m completely bored. I have a ton of great clutches for evening, and I switch those up to match my outfits, but when it comes to the day-in-day-out handbag, I&amp;#x27;m loyal to my schlepper. How about you guys? Do you switch up your bags to match your outfits? Do you change them every day? A couple of times a week? Or do you find one and stick with it for a while, like me? Share!
