The fabulous Chattermonkey tagged me on twitter to take part in the what’s in your bag challenge, which does exactly what it says on the tin. Those tagged have to take a snap of their bag and all its contents (dust, tatty receipts, used tissues and sweet wrappers excluded) and put it on their blog. I’ve done this before for a video and it only served to prove that I carry far too much stuff around with me every day. It seems things haven’t changed…

As silly as the concept may seem, there’s a real element of truth in the fact that a big bag works on a bigger frame. Obviously I’m not going to tell you not to carry a tiny clutch if you love it, but if you’re a big girl, carrying an oversize bag often looks more balanced. Not to mention the fact it allows you to carry loads more stuff!
