Weekly Wears: Silence is Golden

Dress: c/o ModCloth;  Tights: Target;  Boots: Minnetonka;  Earrings: c/o Salt on the Rocks;  Headband: ModCloth

I am a sponge lately.  I'm so happy just sitting and listening to stories, learning new tricks at work, and watching my kids run about.  That last one especially... time passes so quickly, I just want to remember as much as I can and be thankful for every bit of it.  I have great friends, an amazing family, and a weird and wonderful job.  I need to always keep that in mind... even on those days when I'm feeling under the weather and I just want the world to leave me alone.  ;)

I truly hope you all are having a fantastic week.

What's In My Bag

My new go-to purse is much smaller than my last one.  I bought the larger one so I could haul my DSLR everywhere I went, but it really got to be a bit much.  That's the thing about big purses: at first they are big and roomy, but somehow that collection of important stuff inside grows and grows and grows.  Big purse = more space to fill. (for me, at least)  Here is what's inside my new one:

Wallet.  Of course.  I really need to find a cute new one-- I've had this one for ages and I just had a lovely ink pen explode all over one side of it.
Lint roller.  When I'm at the studio I work with a lot of yarn and thread and other messy things.  Oh, also, there are very cute dogs there.  A lint roller is a good idea for me. 
Glasses.  I probably have glasses in every "what's in my bag" post.  Even when I'm wearing contacts, I like to have glasses handy.  You just never know, and, those nice police men don't like it very much when I drive without one or the other.  (kidding, I wouldn't drive without being able to see)
Headphones.  You never know when you might need these!
Makeup.  Hand-sanitizer, lip gloss, perfume, hair accessories... you name it, I probably have it stashed inside. 
Measuring tape.  Actually, someone just got onto me a little for not carrying one of these at all times.  Now I do.  ;)
Sea of Bees bracelet.  Sea of Bees is my favorite.  FAVORITE.

I also carry keys and a phone in there, too, but they must not have been inside my purse when I shot this.  You can use your imagination, if you want. 

So, weigh in on the great debate: big purse or small purse?  I vote medium.  ;))
