Carrying a Purse

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share with you a product that makes it easier for me to go shopping. I haven't carried a purse for years because the weight hurts my shoulders. I tried to wear slacks with pockets so I could carry my charge card and my cell phone. Trouble is, a lot of women's slacks don't have pockets.

Lately I came across what's called an all in one cross body bag. I purchased a larger bag from the Vera Bradley website, it was less expensive than the department store, and a matching all in one cross body bag. What is nice about this small bag is it has a magnetic enclosure for your cell phone, a couple zippered pockets, and a wrist strap and shoulder strap that are interchangeable.

It's very light and very convenient.

Thanks for the suggestion.

For anyone with arthritis too, I do carry my purse under my arm. When carrying anything it should be held close to your chest. I can't lift heavy objects but as my age has progressed more and more objects are too heavy.

I am always removing as much coins as I can, they weight your purse down quite a bit.

I can lift 15-20 pounds. That's about my max. I don't do it often but I can do it.
