I haven't carried a handbag since my oldest kid was born & he's 18. At this point, I'm not even sure if I own 'a' handbag. When I did carry handbags, I only changed them when it was necessary...too freaking much trouble. As to shoes, I have everyday Reeboks and dress Reeboks, which are identical to the everyday ones only they're the New & Clean Version.
I have to carry a bag (not huge or
a tote style.) B/c I need to take,
lipstick, compact, cigarettes, lighter,
small wallet, credit card holder, pen,
keys, garage door opener.
All of that won't fit into a pocket
and not all my clothing has pockets.
I'm sure NH wore shoes that night.
