Jeans with a side phone pocket (like some yoga pants)

Why don't women use handbags any longer? I see them carrying their phone and a massive set of keys on a ring and it's so easy to lose things when you're just carrying them like that.

I would hesitate to put my phone in a pants pocket, as it could slide out. Say you want to go to the bathroom and forget the phone is in the pocket.

I have not used a purse or bag in decades unless it's something very specific ie I'm on a jobsite and will carry a briefecase type bag, or my laptop bag (that has one external pocket). I do have a couple of casual bags with bottle pockets that I've used for seminars (if I don't need my laptop or ipad) - but I usually take notes on an ipad and then I may as well toss a small backpack over my shoulder.

Purses and bags tend to be catch alls. What do I really need? If it weren't for the fact that locally Home Depot and Michaels refuse to accept phone payments, I wouldn't even bring my wallet into a store.

I carry a phone and car key. Sunglasses are on my head. That's it. House keys stay in the car, last thing I want is to drop them when I am out and about.

You must not have a lot of theft were you live? Cars are broken into on the regular here, and one of the popular items is the garage door opener. They got your address and a way into the house!


I do keep the house locked going into the garage but it would be trivial to kick it in un-noticed if you were already in the garage.

I don't have a garage door opener and my garage is detached anyway. My car is pretty clean inside and it's older and considering I often shop in a more expensive town, my grocery getter doesn't look as appealing as the Range Rover next to it. If you're really interested in my $18 phone charger, have at it. But it's not even wireless.
