Wondering exactly how you should pack a small purse for a concert or event<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to have everything you need…without having to schlep around everything you own?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a perfectly-packed purse is a skill you’ll want to hone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find a handful of tips to help you pack a small purse the smart way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was inspired to write this post after I packed a small purse for a standing-room only concert last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent several minutes pairing down my belongings and thought others might benefit from a mini-tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you happen to be traveling sans-purse, don\u2019t worry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several of these tips can be applied to a small bag<\/a>, backpack, or even your pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose your bag wisely.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you\u2019ve selected the proper purse<\/a> or bag for the concert or event in question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be casual, dressy, elegant, sporty or professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll want something that is not only comfortable to carry and wear, but that can be securely fastened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want to worry about belongings flying when you turn about abruptly or start dancing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a list of must-have items.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re out and about in the world, you’ll most likely need a few basic items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include a photo ID or driver\u2019s license, credit card or ATM\/Debit card, house keys, car keys, transportation pass, print or email tickets, and your smart phone.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to add or subtract to this basic list as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be brief with beauty supplies.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ladies, you may want to look fabulous the whole night, but go easy on what you pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pack only what you will actually use or need for touch-ups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes items such as lipstick, powder or blotting paper. Pack other toiletries with discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slim down your wallet.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remove any and all items you won\u2019t need including with you for your outing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes membership, store, reward, or library cards, and other items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to turn out those wallet sections and remove receipts<\/a>, papers and loose coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, remove items you need and place them in a smaller, flatter wallet or money clip for your night out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech savvy? Go the digital route on your smart phone. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure all of your banking, ticket, and other apps are properly installed and up to date before you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a good idea to fully charge your phone before you head out for the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter which route you take, it\u2019s always a good idea to carry some cash with you in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get rid of your clunky keys.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a giant set of keys with a lanyard, different key chains and other items randomly attached?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now is the right time to slim down your house and car keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detach any unnecessary keys, trinkets, club cards and other baubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be thankful to not have to carry around the extra weight or try to squeeze your keys into your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pack it up.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pack up everything into your purse<\/a>. Does everything fit comfortably? If not, can you weed out some items?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, when it comes to concerts or events, less is more. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make things comfortable for yourself and leave those unneeded and unnecessary items at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
