What are you doing purse-wise?

I should be doing something more productive like working on my timeline, but instead, I am procrastinating and thinking about what kind of purse/clutch I want for the wedding reception.  I've been looking at Etsy and haven't found anything that has really caught my eye.  Do any of you have your purse picked out?  Or are you even planning on buying a new purse?  If you have pictures, please post!  TIA!

    I didn't have one and didn't feel I needed anything. My MOH had lip gloss, that's about all I asked for.

    I'm not going to use a purse/clutch for the night of the wedding. That's just one more thing that I need to be responsible for, and I don't want to have to worry about keeping track of it all night. I just don't see the point of having one.

    Wasn't planning on getting one, but I do love that clutch!  Still, I won't have one - like PPs stated, one less thing to keep track of.  MOH didn't have one at her wedding and did just fine.  I don't think its really necessary and don't want to have to worry about remembering it.

    I actually just got mine in the mail yesterday!! I bought it from Ideeli for $30 including shipping. It's a tad smaller than I had thought it would be but it's cute. The only picture I could find online is teensy though. What I liked about it was that it's a soft silver that will totally be reusable after the wedding.




    And wah! When I click on therickson's link it's invalid. :( I wanna see the clutch everyone liked!

    KST - that is cute!  where did you get it?  I'm pretty sure i will definitely need something.  I feel naked if i'm not carrying around my powder, lipgloss and deodorant.  i'm a freak, i know!

    I had bought mine from Ideeli.com a month ago so it's no longer available, sorry. :( But I'll let you know if they have another little clutch sale!
    I seem to have constant contact issues whenever I *don't* have a mirror and eyedrops on hand so I decided I needed one to hold those. Plus, I'm an oily girl so I'll want some blotting papers on hand with some powder to keep the shine down. And the lipgloss as I chew on my lips when nervous.

    I didn't use one as well. I just had my BM keep track of my stuff or FI since he had his wallet. Maybe it is just me, but seems like a waste of $

    I was thinking that I wouldn't have one but there are meds that I unfortunately HAVE TO HAVE and would rather just have it on hand when needed rather than trying to track it done (been there, done that, HORRIBLE outcome!). So, I was going to get something real small just big enough for my meds and a gloss. :)
