How big should a backpack be if I’m using it instead of a purse?

The right-sized backpack is big enough to hold everything you want to carry with you without being too heavy. If you’re planning to travel or go to a stadium with a small backpack instead of a purse, check with the airline and stadium to find out the size restrictions they have in place for bags.

How does a crossbody bag compare to a small backpack?

Both crossbody bags and backpacks free up your hands, which can be convenient when you’re running errands. However, a crossbody bag has a long strap that stretches across your chest, eliminating the need to hold the strap in place. A backpack has two straps that let you rest the bag on your back or slung over one shoulder. Both types of bags are great to use when you’re around town, but the backpack tends to look more casual.

How can I organize items in my bag?

Organizing the interior of your bag makes it easier to find the items you need without digging through all of the contents. With that in mind, look for ways to group like items together, such as hair care, pens, and money. You can place these items in accessories organizers, toiletry organizers, and the like. Then you only have to grab one bag to find what you need.
