My bag needs enough room for my checkbook-sized wallet, my make-up bag, my planner, cell phone, iPod, water bottle, hairbrush, sunglasses, and keys. Just the wallet itself is big enough to rule out a small bag, but throw in my other essentials like the planner and hairbrush and a big bag is a must for me.

I manage bigger bags with smaller bags inside. I definetly don't want my make up smearing all over the place so that gets its own bag. (Inside- lip balm, lash curler, tiny bottle of lip/cheek coloring, pressed powder, pills and a usb drive)

I can't hear or feel my phone going off so I try to put the phone back into the teeny "phone pocket" in bags. Carrying the essentials, I usually have enough room to even go shopping and not use plastic bags.

I don't think I own a big bag. I find them very humorous personally. Especially with short girls who appear to double their big bag as a mobile home.

My purse is a medium sized tote, I can still carry my macbook in there, a book, and a wallet. If I push it maybe a water bottle. It's getting really dirty though, so I'm in the process of finding a new purse. Both sad and happy…

The "Big Bag" is a Big City phenomenon, I feel. Living in a big city (I'm in San Francisco, personally), where you're constantly on the go, and often have to take a train ride or long bus ride to get home, and you don't have a car to keep your extra stuff in – it only makes sense to carry so much with you. When I lived in Texas (nobody goes without a car down there), I kept most of that stuff in the trunk of my car, and only carried my cell, wallet, chapstick, and lip gloss into the mall, concerts, whatever… But in the city, without an extra place to leave things temporarily… you HAVE to have a Big Bag.

I started wearing big bags after my friend picked on me for wearing a man-sized backpack around campus. My current big bag is nearly half my height…and I'm 5'7.

I have been using big bags forever! I seriously lost my laptop cord in mine once!

except for special occasions, i usually just put everything in my pockets (I manage to fit it all in despite the small girls jeans pockets). i just dont understand why everybody needs so much stuff all the time. i pretty much just have a tiny wallet, a cell phone, a tiny hand sanitizer i refill, keys, and cigarettes. lol maybe im 90s.

I FOUND an umbrella in my bag last week. How big is a bag when you can't actually SEE an umbrella, but have to search for it??

I have to have room for at least a notebook, the latest issue of Vogue, my iPod, my phone, a book, and a full sized bottle of lotion from Bath and Body Works (I go through that stuff like there's no tomorrow), my medicine, my wallet, and a bottle of water.

After listing all that off, I feel pathetic.
