Okay, so I’ve been wanting to do a deep dive into my Michael Kors bag for a while now. It’s my go-to, everyday bag, and I’m always curious about how other people organize theirs. So, I figured, why not document my own process?
First things first, I emptied everything out. And I mean everything. It’s kind of amazing (and slightly horrifying) how much stuff accumulates in a bag you use every day. I laid it all out on my table – it was a bit of a chaotic mess, to be honest.
The Sorting Begins
Next, I started sorting. I made piles: one for essentials (wallet, keys, phone), one for makeup/touch-up stuff, one for random receipts and papers, and one for… well, the “what is this even doing in here?” category. You know the one.
- Essentials Pile: This was pretty straightforward. My wallet, keys (on a cute little keychain), and my phone. These are the non-negotiables.
- Makeup/Touch-Up: Lipstick, a compact mirror, some blotting papers, and a mini hairbrush. Just enough to freshen up during the day.
- Receipts/Papers: Oh boy, this was a big one. Old receipts, grocery lists, random notes… Time to do some serious decluttering.
- The “Mystery” Pile: A lone earring, a half-eaten granola bar (oops!), a few bobby pins, and a button that I don’t even recognize. Seriously, where does this stuff come from?
I tossed the obvious trash – the old receipts, the granola bar wrapper (yikes), and anything else that was clearly past its prime. I also consolidated things like loose change into a small coin purse.
Putting It All Back
Then came the fun part (for me, anyway) – putting everything back in an organized way! My Michael Kors bag has a few different compartments, which is super helpful.
I used the main compartment for my wallet and the coin purse. There’s a zippered pocket inside that’s perfect for my keys, so I don’t have to go fishing for them every time I need to open my door. The smaller pockets on the sides hold my phone and the makeup essentials, keeping them easily accessible.
I also have a little pouch that I keep in my bag – it’s great for holding smaller items like lip balm, hand sanitizer, and a travel-sized pack of tissues. This helps prevent them from getting lost at the bottom of the bag.
Finally, I made sure to give the inside of the bag a good wipe-down. It’s surprising how much dust and crumbs can collect in there!
And that’s it! My Michael Kors bag is now clean, organized, and ready for another week of daily adventures. It’s amazing how much better I feel when my bag is in order – it’s like a little weight has been lifted off my shoulders (literally!). Maybe I’ll make this a regular thing… or at least try to keep it from becoming a total disaster zone again!
