What does she carry?

I follow no rules. I carry a fluorescent pink, a sunflower yellow purse even in the dead of winter. A fashion faux pas?

A small, label-less purse is my survival strategy.

Not carrying all that I own in a suitcase, is the policy.

What won’t you find inside my bag? Toilet seat sanitizer spray, gum, makeup, perfume or sunglasses made by a designer.

What will pop out of the bag when I reach inside for the wallet? The tampon and the sanitary pad that creep up from the bottom of the bag, just to spring this happy surprise.

Do the innards of my bag reveal my soul? I don’t know. You tell me!

But could I tell who you are if I sneak a peek inside yours? I sure can!
