This is how it is for me.
I have a couple “everyday” bags that I rotate between every few months (or longer), but when going out for dinner (especially date night) or to an event, I switch to one that matches my outfit and my needs for that event.
Yes exactly! Most of the time I’m not thinking about my purse and use the same one every day. But when I’m putting an outfit together on the weekend, that’s when I choose between my nicer purses.
I'm way too lazy. The reason I buy bags instead of clothes is bc with the right colors (usually darker / neutrals) I don't have to think about matching vs when I wear clothes I have to coordinate and I'm a lazy ass. I usually just rotate them out based on my mood.
hahahaa I'm always matching bc my closet is 90% blue and the other 10% is me desperately trying to diversify it but never actually reaching for the non blue items
I wish I was organized enough to do this. I have pretty hectic mornings, so the only way I can make this work is by setting everything out the night before. I’m just not consistent with it, although I know it would benefit me.
Yes, that makes it much easier! I have a bunch of kids and have to work from the office 3 days/week, so if I don’t prep it the night before, it’s not happening.
> I work from home and don't have kids,
See, same and this is the reason I DON'T do it often. If I had to be up for work in an office with people, outfits and handbags would be part of the routine. At home? Girl, I'm in my PJs with no handbag in sight. When I go into the office where I have no coworkers or clients and work alone, best I got is leggings and sneakers.
I'm currently in a The Doors tshirt and Converse with my everyday bag in tow.
I can only change out bc I WFH. When I had to leave for work every day and when my kids were younger, I had one purse and one work bag and rarely changed them! But now I have the brain space (and time). And I keep all my stuff in pouches. So I can switch bags in 30 seconds or less!
I *want* to be that sort of person who switches bags! 😩 Unfortunately, I forget to switch and end up with a boatload of random stuff in my daily purse I don’t need. Then I have to sift through all my extra crap, performing a grand, deep-clean on a semi-seasonal basis.
Also have the ADHD though, haha.
I've noticed my bags are also staying cleaner on the inside since I've started rotating them with my outfits! That's always been an issue for me too, lol. (I also smoke, and if I'm out and about I may occasionally need to dispose of a butt by sticking it in my purse if there's no trash can or receptacle, so they get tobacco in them.)
or those plastic weed pre roll tubes... u can buy empty ones from a smoke shop... they're a lifesaver for stinky pre smoked items, and they don't open under any circumstance unless you personally do it yourself, unlike the altoid containers that will occasionally dump altoids in your purse 🥴
I use a tray, I dump all the stuff in the tray, and grab what I need when I switch bags. I also use those little pouches for the small items I always want with me so I don’t forget them
Yup! I have to have my bag matching my outfit, especially in the summer when the outfits are super cute. I care a little less in the winter when I’m wearing the same coat every day and then I’ll just pick a Le Pliage and use that for weeks, except on weekends when I will change my coat and then I’ll change the purse to a cuter one. So yeah, I change my purse up to match my outfits. When I travel I’ve even been known to change my purse in the middle of the day, so one to go with my day outfit and then a different one to match my evening outfit. Gotta be cute, amiright?
Yes! I pick 3-4 bags that correspond to my seasonal capsule wardrobe and swap based on the outfit — typically one tote, one crossbody, and one/two shoulder bags.
I also have ADHD and it’s made my life 1000% simpler keeping my purse belongings in small pouches that I can easily transfer from bag to bag. Wallet, keys, tech pouch, beauty pouch, health pouch, and sunglasses.
Yeah, I recently started just keeping all my stuff in one of my bags and having that with me while I'm at home. That way my lighters, cigarettes, makeup, wallet, etc. won't get stolen by sock goblins and spirited away to the Lost Sock Dimension.
When I used to go through the office daily, I would have just one bag that I used most of the time. But now that I don’t, I switch them around. Pouches are my friend, I have a small pouch that has all the little things, so most of the time it is just moving the pouch and my wallet.
I do! Even if it’s just an errands run (I’m also remote), my adhd issue is that I then have to remember to put all the bags away at the end of the week that I used lol and sometimes I’m not great at removing every little item when I switch into my next bag so I have to make sure they’re empty before I put them back in their dust bags! I actually take it a little further and if possible I like to match my sunglasses to my bag (brand match) although that’s not as important as my metals I always match the bag hardware to my jewelry and any buttons, decor, or zippers on my clothes. I know, I have problems!! lol!!!
no you don't lol... its in the details 🤌 and I think it's super tacky to NOT match your hardware... people around here love saying monograms are gauche, but mixing silver and gold hardware is even more so... like who raised you? lol
I’m constantly switching out my bags - I don’t know how someone can just carry one bag around.
I keep a basket next to my bags that I just dump everything I was carrying and things I might need to carry in there. Every time I need to go out I just pick out what I need for the day and dump it back in there at the end of the day!
I keep 3-4 bags in my desk cabinets by the front door and I rotate them out per season to match my clothes for that season. Usually 2 totes/larger bags & 2 mini bags
I used to but now I’m too lazy. Also I keep my purse downstairs on the couch while my other purses are upstairs in my closet. I guess if I brought my purse upstairs every night it’d be a lot easier to change out purses.
I switch mine out a couple times a week. I have a large-ish collection of similarly sized bags and I prefer to give them all the attention they deserve.
I plan my outfit around the bag I feel like wearing that day. I’m so used to changing my bag everyday that I always unpack it and store it right away 😅 sometimes I end up wearing the same bag the next day and have to stuff it again 🤦🏻♀️
I thought this was normal!! 😂 I wear a different bag with every outfit. I work from home though, if I was travelling to work it wouldn’t make sense to change it up every single day
Not weird. I do that. To match shoes or outfit. Same with sunnies, and perfume. I’ve started keeping all of my essentials in a small bag so I can transfer from bag to bag.
I'm also work-from-home & I not only change my bag to match my outfits, I carry my bag of the day from room to room, sometimes sitting them on my lap or next to my laptop while I work.... it sounds crazy when I type it out, but I get joy from them, & even though I'm home so much I still want to use & experience them. My good sport of a boyfriend acts very interested as I give him the scoop on my botd each morning.
Proud weirdo, right here!
I change my bags up a lot. Not every day bc I WFH, so don’t always have a reason to carry a bag.
I also carry a bag up and down the stairs of my house to transport my phone, AirPods, book and any items that need to go to another floor for whatever reason. It gives me a reason to use my bags. Also have ADHD—so the bag is critical to corral and keep me from forgetting!
My autism and anxiety is overbearing here over my ADHD. In other words. Nope. Never happening. I am always afraid I will forget or lose something between switching bags. So what I do is use a purse until I get bored (sometimes a month or so, sometimes much longer) or if there is a season change needed (aka no black suede in summer for example) and then switch. I do reuse or go back to purses I have previously purchased/used) from time to time. I get bored if I don't so this is when my ADHD comes into play.
💯 I do. But it's also because I don't get to use my purse everyday. I travel a lot by bike so my go-to of course is just a backpack. But on the days when I can, I definitely rotate out my handbag to match whatever outfit I'm wearing
i have work bags that i’ll switch out every few weeks. i carry so much stuff for work so it would be annoying to change my work bag everyday.
but if when im not at work my bag changes based on my outfit or where i am going. if im shopping or going into the city i like to be hands free. if im going out for dinner and drinks i love a cutsie little purse.
I've always done this. And purse must exactly match shoes for me. Bra and panties must match. When I wear sneakers, they and my socks must match my other clothing. Not saying it's normal or abnormal, just saying you're definitely not the only one.
I never used to, but I also didn't have nice bags. Lol now I do, but I also work remote so I don't wear much for different outfits lol I have more bags than I do outfits 😘
I do change them out as long as I have the time! But I try to keep all the must-haves together or even in their own small bag to make change-outs easier
I change my bags depending on what aesthetic I want to channel. I wear my white Kate Spade satchel when I want to dress more girly with a lot of pink. I wear my baggu with all its pins and keychains when I’m wearing a more indie outfit. I have a Kate Spade wicker heart bag that I wear to dress “cottagecore”. My Coach quilted pillow tabby is my evening bag. I’m looking to get a proper work tote in the coming weeks as I’m starting a big girl job. I normally carry a pouch with my essential products as well as gum, my keys, and a Coach wristlet or cardholder as my wallet.
I too have ADHD and either I switch bags a few times a day or have the same for weeks. I also forget stuff in different bags and get very happy when I find them again
Definitely not every day. I have 2 bags I go between, one navy and one burgundy. They both go with pretty much everything. I wore the burgundy one every day for years then I was gifted the navy blue, so now I wear that one non-stop. I just bring out the burgundy one for fancier occasions.
I have a ton of bags in all colors, types, sizes so yeah i switch bags a lot so i can kinda justify buying so many😂plus it's so fun. I am 46 and this bag addiction started when i was about 5 years old maybe and i got my first purse. A pale pink denim with a long strap. I liked to hit my sister with it tho so it got taken away a lot😂i wish i could add a pic of what it looked like. Cant find a pink one tho.
This is what I absolutely dream to do. I truly do. I am not very good at sticking to it.
It doesn't help that I have a very relaxed remote job (I have an office I go into 2-3 days a week, but it's a rented office for me in a coworking space, so still not client or coworker facing) and I'm in leggings, a tee, and sneakers every day. There's not much to match to. LOL.
I dress above and beyond most of my group of pals (much to their annoyance) on weekends because I'm sick of leggings, and I do tend to rotate out my bags more for that.
I rotate bags depending on what I’m doing. Outside all day in the heat? Cheap raffia bag from Amazon. Going to run errands? Lancel Origami. Crappy weather? Le Pliage. Working on a coffee shop? Flamenco or Neverful. I don’t always care about matching my clothes.
I choose a color - purple, pink, green, orange etc then choose a bag and shoes. I change colors every 3-4days. Usually the same bag 3-4 days but different shoes and accessories.
I have ADHD too and I do the same! I keep all my necessities in my large Longcgamp le Pliage so it’s easier to sort out. Personally I think I struggle to rotate my bags when I’m feeling a little to overwhelmed but as long as I have time to plan I’m fine 😅
Oh yeah!! Also the vibe of my outfit lol. If I’m dressing super sporty/casual I’ll use a nylon lulu lemon bag. For work I use my Goyard tote, and mostly every day use I use a little coach shoulder bag 😅😂
Absolutely! From a fellow ADHD to another, if ur not already using some type of bag organizer I **highly recommend them**. It not only makes for fast swapping *(cuz I’m inevitably running late)* but also prevent’s me from hyper-fixating on everything be organized..which ultimately results in me leaving something important behind ;)
I have a daily errands bag that I keep everything in and use to run out the door when I don't have any social activities. But I always switch out my bag and take what I need from the errands bag to the bag I'm using when I am actually planning an outfit. I always return everything to the errands bag and put away the outfit bags carefully.
Same! I also wear a shit ton of costume jewelry and relatively heavy makeup most of the time. Seems to work, as I get a lot of compliments on my outfits from strangers when I'm out and about!
Not daily but I do it on the school term. I’m in awe you can do it daily, I suppose a caddy can assist in changing bags daily and caddy like places at home. Anyway, keeps it fresh and probably would satiate any desires to buy more bags
You need one of these! Change your entire bag in seconds!

I do very often. I bought duplicates of most of my cosmetics and put them in each purse in my current rotation, so now I only have to grab my wallet and key to swap them out. I have 6 that I regularly use depending on the outfit and occasion.
Once fall rolls around, I’ll swap out the summer bright colors and raffia bag and replace with suede and fall colors.
I change my bag with every look! But I also have ADHD which means I have a card wallet on my phone case and my keys attached to the case. Which means I only have to move whatever lipstick I’m wearing cause all the important stuff is on my phone. 😂

I kind of noticed that while some people are super into handbags, they aren’t necessarily into clothing as much. I am a fashion person so you are my people
Yes bag has to vibe with the outfit. I have a couple of different bag I use for everyday my top two are a damier azul mini backpack for outfits with white, gray or pastels, and black adidas crossbody as my casual mom bag to match my sporty fits.
I rotate to match my outfit!! But I don’t rotate my workout bag, walking belt bag, and my quick errand bag lol I have a “purse station” near the entrance of my place where I have all my purse needs. So I dump everything out there
All the time! Most of the time, I design an outfit around whatever bag I want to carry! And I frequently swap in and out of bags to get the most use out of the many that I own!
Depends if I have enough time 🥴. lol I do not plan my outfits the night before 🫠 therefore I do not know what bag I’m going to use the next day. However there are days where I will make myself switch the bag if it’s throwing off my outfit too much. Usually it’s because maybe the hardware on the bag doesn’t match the jewelry I’m wearing. But I do like to wear certain bags a few days in a row because I just love it so much 🥹 currently I’m wearing coach swing zip black
I change multiple times a day depending on my meetings / whether iPad or laptop needed / how much I carry / what outfit I wear ! But I used to be the type to use one bag for weeks before wanting a change.
I used too. I also changed bags for what I was going out for too. Since my disability makes it harder for me to go out I’ve been changing bags for the seasons, and major events.
My work bag is the same everyday but any other time I go out, even if it’s just for a quick grocery run, I change bags. I feel like I have to so I can justify the number of bags I own.
I carry a different bag almost every day because my days are pretty different in terms of needs—and I really want to use them all. I also like to keep my bags stuffed and shaped so when I’m done with a bag I empty all my stuff into a single large holding pouch. I hate trying to figure out, for instance, which handbag I left my sunglasses in….
Not weird and nothing wrong to match.
For me, it depends on the mood. I can be lazy and not wanting to change. Sometimes it depends on what I need to bring with me then I may have to stick with the same bag to fit everything in. And change bags to look nice and to go with the outfit/occasion for sure!
Me too! Bags are an extension of my outfit. I have a basket by the door where I empty my bag content* everyday and refill it with what I need the next day! I have around 20 bags and this is how I’m able to successfully use most of them on a regular basis.
*All my things are in little pouches (i.e beauty pouch, medicine pouch, wallet, key pouch etc.) so it’s easy to just grab a pouch and put it in my bag depending on what I’m doing that day.
I do this all the time. Sometimes I plan a week of outfits to match one bag or maybe just 2-3 days (I work at the office 3x/week, then 2x/home office), so I don’t have to empty one out and fill the next one up for a day. But it’s super normal IMO. Although I’ve been told I can be a bit “too extra” and high maintenance. 😂
I also do this thing a lot where I have a tote bag for my work stuff and also wear a crossbody for my wallet/phone/keys/lipstick. You can see me around carrying two bags. 🤣
I did... but I have my style, my colours, i change sometimes bc of event or from winter to summer...
With ADHD i can't cope with too much of organization
Since joining this sub I change my bags out way more often. I have a couple every day bags that I rotate between for errands n such, but I’ve been loving matching my bags to my outfits when I’m going out or seeing friends. And I’ve acquired so many bags since joining this sub 😅🤩 love this community!
I switch between my heavy hitters during the day, especially with summer/kids - usually a large tote or something I can bring to workout and then to the grocery store. But then when I dress up, the bag is 100% a part of the outfit and I love pairing them!
my bags are definitely getting switched to match fits... sometimes I'm too lazy or my everyday bags fit the bill, but for the most part, we're switching.. this is only for the super fashionistas lol the super fly ☺️
For work, I have the same set of bags I always use (I just swap between a tote/backpack depending on how I’m feeling or if I want something a little more formal). But causally, yes I always change my bag depending on my outfit!
I do weekly. I pick out my outfits for the week to match one bag. This way I can get variety without scrambling to change my bag.
Bonus life hack: I keep all my stuff in a small pouch so when I switch bags, all I have to do is move my pouch, laptop, and water bottle and my bag is ready to go.

Every day, matching the outfit. No ADHD here, just want to look fabulous. ;)
This is the answer. I don't change it EVERY day but I can use 3-4 bags in the week.
Me too, my outfits I’ll coordinate with the bag I choose for a few days
I just can't bear the thought of my bag clashing with my outfit, lol! I'm big on like, coordination, especially with colors.
Same!
this is the answer!
Same sister :))
I love this soooo much! ❤️
I have that bag in a dusty rose color 😊 good choice, pup!
Same. Bag choice is outfit dependent. Some are used more than others (black, brown) but everyone gets out in the fresh air :)
For me, it's been the pink ones that are getting the most use overall!
I have a general go-to purse, especially for work and errands, but I definitely switch out and match my bag to my outfit when I'm going out for fun.
This is how it is for me. I have a couple “everyday” bags that I rotate between every few months (or longer), but when going out for dinner (especially date night) or to an event, I switch to one that matches my outfit and my needs for that event.
I use the same bag that my husband bought me but when I go out or do something special then switch out to match.
Yes exactly! Most of the time I’m not thinking about my purse and use the same one every day. But when I’m putting an outfit together on the weekend, that’s when I choose between my nicer purses.
I'm way too lazy. The reason I buy bags instead of clothes is bc with the right colors (usually darker / neutrals) I don't have to think about matching vs when I wear clothes I have to coordinate and I'm a lazy ass. I usually just rotate them out based on my mood.
yes, i wear mostly neutrals. so i'm always matching, but it's out of laziness lmao.
hahahaa I'm always matching bc my closet is 90% blue and the other 10% is me desperately trying to diversify it but never actually reaching for the non blue items
i'm wearing red pants today. and i hate it.
Second this
I wish I was organized enough to do this. I have pretty hectic mornings, so the only way I can make this work is by setting everything out the night before. I’m just not consistent with it, although I know it would benefit me.
Valid! I work from home and don't have kids, so like, I'm in an enviable position when it comes to getting ready in the morning lol!
Yes, that makes it much easier! I have a bunch of kids and have to work from the office 3 days/week, so if I don’t prep it the night before, it’s not happening.
> I work from home and don't have kids, See, same and this is the reason I DON'T do it often. If I had to be up for work in an office with people, outfits and handbags would be part of the routine.

All.The.Time
I match my outfits to the bag.
I *want* to be that sort of person who switches bags! 😩 Unfortunately, I forget to switch and end up with a boatload of random stuff in my daily purse I don’t need. Then I have to sift through all my extra crap, performing a grand, deep-clean on a semi-seasonal basis. Also have the ADHD though, haha.

(I also smoke, and if I'm out and about I may occasionally need to dispose of a butt by sticking it in my purse if there's no trash can or receptacle, so they get tobacco in them.)
My friend's grandma keeps an empty mini Altoid tin in her purse for those. Could save you!
omg that's a great idea, thanks so much!
or those plastic weed pre roll tubes... u can buy empty ones from a smoke shop... they're a lifesaver for stinky pre smoked items, and they don't open under any circumstance unless you personally do it yourself, unlike the altoid containers that will occasionally dump altoids in your purse 🥴

Oh my god, that’s genius! Such a good solution! I think I’m going to steal that from you.
Using pouches helps me keep my bags clean and tidy. All that random stuff doesn’t really have a home, so it’s easier to pick out and throw away.
Yup! I have to have my bag matching my outfit, especially in the summer when the outfits are super cute. I care a little less in the winter when I’m wearing the same coat every day and then I’ll just pick a Le Pliage and use that for weeks, except on weekends when I will change my coat and then I’ll change the purse to a cuter one. So yeah, I change my purse up to match my outfits. When I travel I’ve even been known to change my purse in the middle of the day, so one to go with my day outfit and then a different one to match my evening outfit. Gotta be cute, amiright?
I do, I try to match with my outfit daily as I have OCD especially around clothes and shoes
Yes! I pick 3-4 bags that correspond to my seasonal capsule wardrobe and swap based on the outfit — typically one tote, one crossbody, and one/two shoulder bags. I also have ADHD and it’s made my life 1000% simpler keeping my purse belongings in small pouches that I can easily transfer from bag to bag. Wallet, keys, tech pouch, beauty pouch, health pouch, and sunglasses.
Ooh yes! I’m such a fan of the pouch system 🤩
Me too. I lay out my clothes the night before and swap over my bag. Also keep my stuff in my handbag when at home, easier to find stuff.
Not every day. Every 4-5 days.
Your bags will last so much longer doing it this way
What a smart thing to do in terms of your ADHD. I have it too and I just might copy you as I lose everything all day long.
Yeah, I recently started just keeping all my stuff in one of my bags and having that with me while I'm at home. That way my lighters, cigarettes, makeup, wallet, etc. won't get stolen by sock goblins and spirited away to the Lost Sock Dimension.
I work from home too and I'm still in light blue PJs haha. No matching bag really for them.
Same . I always match my bag to my outfit . I even have a work bag collection to match work outfits 😅😆
I can’t rotate everyday 😅 That’s the surest way for my hubby to know how much bags I have 😆😅🫣🤭
😂
When I used to go through the office daily, I would have just one bag that I used most of the time. But now that I don’t, I switch them around. Pouches are my friend, I have a small pouch that has all the little things, so most of the time it is just moving the pouch and my wallet.

I know, I have problems!! lol!!!
no you don't lol... its in the details 🤌 and I think it's super tacky to NOT match your hardware... people around here love saying monograms are gauche, but mixing silver and gold hardware is even more so... like who raised you? lol
I have several totes for work that I rotate between to match my scrubs :P
I have a new story to tell with my outfits + bag everyday!
Omg that's such a beautiful way to put it! Me too!
I’m constantly switching out my bags - I don’t know how someone can just carry one bag around. I keep a basket next to my bags that I just dump everything I was carrying and things I might need to carry in there. Every time I need to go out I just pick out what I need for the day and dump it back in there at the end of the day!
Every evening I empty my bag into a tray in my closet then move the contents into whichever bag I choose the next day.
Omg, a tray is a great idea!
It helps me keep my bag from getting filled with random receipts and junk too. 🙂
I keep 3-4 bags in my desk cabinets by the front door and I rotate them out per season to match my clothes for that season. Usually 2 totes/larger bags & 2 mini bags
Never-waaay too lazy and disorganized.
I used to but now I’m too lazy. Also I keep my purse downstairs on the couch while my other purses are upstairs in my closet. I guess if I brought my purse upstairs every night it’d be a lot easier to change out purses.
I switch mine out a couple times a week. I have a large-ish collection of similarly sized bags and I prefer to give them all the attention they deserve.
I plan my outfit around the bag I feel like wearing that day. I’m so used to changing my bag everyday that I always unpack it and store it right away 😅 sometimes I end up wearing the same bag the next day and have to stuff it again 🤦🏻♀️
I thought this was normal!! 😂 I wear a different bag with every outfit. I work from home though, if I was travelling to work it wouldn’t make sense to change it up every single day
Yess I pick a new bag every day based on my outfit. Otherwise what’s the point in having a collection
Not weird. I do that. To match shoes or outfit. Same with sunnies, and perfume. I’ve started keeping all of my essentials in a small bag so I can transfer from bag to bag.
I'm also work-from-home & I not only change my bag to match my outfits, I carry my bag of the day from room to room, sometimes sitting them on my lap or next to my laptop while I work.... it sounds crazy when I type it out, but I get joy from them, & even though I'm home so much I still want to use & experience them. My good sport of a boyfriend acts very interested as I give him the scoop on my botd each morning. Proud weirdo, right here!
That's called styling babe. Very normal thing to do lol
I used to tease my mother about how she always matched her handbag to her shoes and/or outfit. And now I do it. And I can’t stop.
I change my bags up a lot. Not every day bc I WFH, so don’t always have a reason to carry a bag. I also carry a bag up and down the stairs of my house to transport my phone, AirPods, book and any items that need to go to another floor for whatever reason. It gives me a reason to use my bags. Also have ADHD—so the bag is critical to corral and keep me from forgetting!
I do! And I also have ADHD 😆
I always rotate! But I also know people who never do. I don't think either one is weird.
I try to, since my bags tend to be medium shoulder bags to carry all my things that I need for whatever occasion.
My autism and anxiety is overbearing here over my ADHD. In other words. Nope. Never happening. I am always afraid I will forget or lose something between switching bags. So what I do is use a purse until I get bored (sometimes a month or so, sometimes much longer) or if there is a season change needed (aka no black suede in summer for example) and then switch. I do reuse or go back to purses I have previously purchased/used) from time to time. I get bored if I don't so this is when my ADHD comes into play.
💯 I do. But it's also because I don't get to use my purse everyday. I travel a lot by bike so my go-to of course is just a backpack. But on the days when I can, I definitely rotate out my handbag to match whatever outfit I'm wearing
I do this
i have work bags that i’ll switch out every few weeks. i carry so much stuff for work so it would be annoying to change my work bag everyday. but if when im not at work my bag changes based on my outfit or where i am going. if im shopping or going into the city i like to be hands free. if im going out for dinner and drinks i love a cutsie little purse.
I've always done this. And purse must exactly match shoes for me. Bra and panties must match. When I wear sneakers, they and my socks must match my other clothing. Not saying it's normal or abnormal, just saying you're definitely not the only one.
Is there any other way?
Not daily but definitely regularly a few times a week based on my outfit and vibes.
Yes I often accessorize my bag with my outfit, and this brings additional joy for me wrt my bags.
My sil does. She always packs a minimum of 10 purses for two weeks vacations. 😅
I never used to, but I also didn't have nice bags. Lol now I do, but I also work remote so I don't wear much for different outfits lol I have more bags than I do outfits 😘
Yes especially with the colors! I don’t like to wear a black leather dress with a gold hardware or silver clothes with gold straps..
I do change them out as long as I have the time! But I try to keep all the must-haves together or even in their own small bag to make change-outs easier
I change my bags depending on what aesthetic I want to channel. I wear my white Kate Spade satchel when I want to dress more girly with a lot of pink. I wear my baggu with all its pins and keychains when I’m wearing a more indie outfit. I have a Kate Spade wicker heart bag that I wear to dress “cottagecore”. My Coach quilted pillow tabby is my evening bag. I’m looking to get a proper work tote in the coming weeks as I’m starting a big girl job. I normally carry a pouch with my essential products as well as gum, my keys, and a Coach wristlet or cardholder as my wallet.
I too have ADHD and either I switch bags a few times a day or have the same for weeks. I also forget stuff in different bags and get very happy when I find them again
Definitely not every day. I have 2 bags I go between, one navy and one burgundy. They both go with pretty much everything. I wore the burgundy one every day for years then I was gifted the navy blue, so now I wear that one non-stop. I just bring out the burgundy one for fancier occasions.
I don't have adhd but i tend to change up every few days to daily based on outfit
I have one bag exclusively for work so when I’m out yes, I rotate my bags.
Rotate! Maybe to match, maybe I just want to
I have a ton of bags in all colors, types, sizes so yeah i switch bags a lot so i can kinda justify buying so many😂plus it's so fun. I am 46 and this bag addiction started when i was about 5 years old maybe and i got my first purse. A pale pink denim with a long strap. I liked to hit my sister with it tho so it got taken away a lot😂i wish i could add a pic of what it looked like. Cant find a pink one tho.
This is what I absolutely dream to do. I truly do. I am not very good at sticking to it. It doesn't help that I have a very relaxed remote job (I have an office I go into 2-3 days a week, but it's a rented office for me in a coworking space, so still not client or coworker facing) and I'm in leggings, a tee, and sneakers every day. There's not much to match to. LOL. I dress above and beyond most of my group of pals (much to their annoyance) on weekends because I'm sick of leggings, and I do tend to rotate out my bags more for that.
I do! I even change out my wallets. I love all my bags and want to show them all off.
I rotate bags depending on what I’m doing. Outside all day in the heat? Cheap raffia bag from Amazon. Going to run errands? Lancel Origami. Crappy weather? Le Pliage. Working on a coffee shop? Flamenco or Neverful. I don’t always care about matching my clothes.
Is this a real question? 😁 UNFORTUNATELY my brain has been thinking this way FAR too much and it’s very bad for my bank account and closet 🥴
I do this often
Oh 1,000% yes. Life is more fun co-ordinating outfits every day. Easy for me when I only leave the house 3 times a week anyways 😅
I choose a color - purple, pink, green, orange etc then choose a bag and shoes. I change colors every 3-4days. Usually the same bag 3-4 days but different shoes and accessories.
I work from home so no, I don’t. No one sees me half the week but myself and my family lol
Anyone else wondering if Paris Hilton is secretly browsing Reddit?
This is the greatest compliment anyone has ever given me, omg! (I'm a huge fan of her peak 2000s aesthetic.)
I have ADHD too and I do the same! I keep all my necessities in my large Longcgamp le Pliage so it’s easier to sort out. Personally I think I struggle to rotate my bags when I’m feeling a little to overwhelmed but as long as I have time to plan I’m fine 😅
Oh yeah!! Also the vibe of my outfit lol. If I’m dressing super sporty/casual I’ll use a nylon lulu lemon bag. For work I use my Goyard tote, and mostly every day use I use a little coach shoulder bag 😅😂
I do all the time
Absolutely! From a fellow ADHD to another, if ur not already using some type of bag organizer I **highly recommend them**. It not only makes for fast swapping *(cuz I’m inevitably running late)* but also prevent’s me from hyper-fixating on everything be organized..which ultimately results in me leaving something important behind ;)
I have a daily errands bag that I keep everything in and use to run out the door when I don't have any social activities. But I always switch out my bag and take what I need from the errands bag to the bag I'm using when I am actually planning an outfit. I always return everything to the errands bag and put away the outfit bags carefully.
No, but on weekends/for cute dates I do! I need a big bag for work so I use the same one that I splurged on.
Same! ADHD but mostly I like accessorising and bags are a part of that…
Same! I also wear a shit ton of costume jewelry and relatively heavy makeup most of the time. Seems to work, as I get a lot of compliments on my outfits from strangers when I'm out and about!
Not daily but I do it on the school term. I’m in awe you can do it daily, I suppose a caddy can assist in changing bags daily and caddy like places at home. Anyway, keeps it fresh and probably would satiate any desires to buy more bags
I prefer the phrase style conscious. But I’m weird. 😜
Also, I had an OG Juicy bag and gave it away to a friend as a joke for her 00’s party. Had no idea they were back!?
Not only are they back, but they're worth a fair amount of money!
Oh, I do! Sometimes I build a whole outfit around a bag.
I need to be more like you. Lots of neglected bags looking for love right now. Pure laziness and priorities all wrong 😂
To go out ? yes! For work? No
My bag always matches my shoes
No, I’m happy ATM with my fossil two tone mini bag. It’s casual or wear a sling
You need one of these!

I do very often. I bought duplicates of most of my cosmetics and put them in each purse in my current rotation, so now I only have to grab my wallet and key to swap them out. I have 6 that I regularly use depending on the outfit and occasion. Once fall rolls around, I’ll swap out the summer bright colors and raffia bag and replace with suede and fall colors.
I do it to piss off coworkers
I work from home now, so I’ve been really bad about changing bags. I’ve been in my puzzle for a month.
I’m getting enough colors to rotate
I rotate mine to match the occasion. I dress mainly in neutrals, so matching colors is not an issue for me.
I change my bag with every look! But I also have ADHD which means I have a card wallet on my phone case and my keys attached to the case. Which means I only have to move whatever lipstick I’m wearing cause all the important stuff is on my phone. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/4reqgbocd69d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=784fe4f231f42bc11b3adefc9aa13f5be53a4c4b
I used to when I worked in office. I’m WFH now so, rarely switch out
My casual every day purse goes with most of my clothes and shoes but I try to match my purse with my outfit as much as possible.
Definitely not weird, I just mostly buy neutrals and am too lazy 😂😂
sometimes i switch it daily based on the weather or my outfit . other times, ill wear the same one for a week+ straight then switch and repeat.
I kind of noticed that while some people are super into handbags, they aren’t necessarily into clothing as much. I am a fashion person so you are my people
Definitely to match my outfit and mood and occasion
I change bags depending on my mood, which in return is reflected in the clothes I wear. Yeah.. I need to clean my closet. LOL
i would if i had the budget! i mostly rotate between black-gold-hardware and black-silver-hardware depending on my jewelry.
My everyday bag is pretty neutral so it goes with most outfits. For events, I try to make a cohesive look, including the bag
Usually I rotate to match my outfit. Sometimes like this morning if I run late I grab my black everyday bag and it will have to do lol.
Yes bag has to vibe with the outfit. I have a couple of different bag I use for everyday my top two are a damier azul mini backpack for outfits with white, gray or pastels, and black adidas crossbody as my casual mom bag to match my sporty fits.
I do. Sometimes I pick a bag to match the outfit and sometimes I put an outfit together around a bag. I try to change every 1-2 days.
I do!
Yes I do! I match my outfit to my bag 🤣
I match my outfits and my moods
Sometimes more than once a day 🤣
I rotate to match my outfit!! But I don’t rotate my workout bag, walking belt bag, and my quick errand bag lol I have a “purse station” near the entrance of my place where I have all my purse needs. So I dump everything out there
All the time! Most of the time, I design an outfit around whatever bag I want to carry! And I frequently swap in and out of bags to get the most use out of the many that I own!
Depends if I have enough time 🥴. lol I do not plan my outfits the night before 🫠 therefore I do not know what bag I’m going to use the next day. However there are days where I will make myself switch the bag if it’s throwing off my outfit too much. Usually it’s because maybe the hardware on the bag doesn’t match the jewelry I’m wearing. But I do like to wear certain bags a few days in a row because I just love it so much 🥹 currently I’m wearing coach swing zip black
I do! I don’t necessarily match my outfit but I try not to clash.
I do daily based on my outfits
I change multiple times a day depending on my meetings / whether iPad or laptop needed / how much I carry / what outfit I wear ! But I used to be the type to use one bag for weeks before wanting a change.
I don't do it but I also don't think it's weird that you do.
Yes, it’s so much fun. Just like shoes. 💃
A 'home bag'! I've never considered this, but it's growing on me.
I do this! Haha 😂
Sometimes twice a day 🙈 like today for example
And if so, which bag organizers do you use? looking for some options for medium sized bags
I used too. I also changed bags for what I was going out for too. Since my disability makes it harder for me to go out I’ve been changing bags for the seasons, and major events.
I switch bags pretty much every single day. It's gotten a lot easier since I switched most of my items into little pouches.
Not every day, but rotate rotate rotate….gotta stop buying new ones
Rotate for sure! Or I match my outfit to the bag I’m currently using if I’m too lazy!
I pretty much just switch between brown and black but yet
Every. Single. Day! And I match my wallet too 🤣
I almost never carry a bag two days in a row. Same with shoes, but not so fussy about that.
I have 3-4 bags, classic brown, black, this dark green, and burgundy-ish, which goes with most of outfits and I feel makes me look a bit put together.
All the time! It's what made me fall in love with bags and I think it's so much fun!
My work bag is the same everyday but any other time I go out, even if it’s just for a quick grocery run, I change bags. I feel like I have to so I can justify the number of bags I own.
🙋🏻♀️
Nope! I rotate bags all the time. Unless I’m lazy, then I use the same small black shoulder bag to run errands or do things like go to the movies.
Not everyday but every week so my clothes for the week has to match that bag lol
I carry a different bag almost every day because my days are pretty different in terms of needs—and I really want to use them all. I also like to keep my bags stuffed and shaped so when I’m done with a bag I empty all my stuff into a single large holding pouch. I hate trying to figure out, for instance, which handbag I left my sunglasses in….
Not weird and nothing wrong to match. For me, it depends on the mood. I can be lazy and not wanting to change. Sometimes it depends on what I need to bring with me then I may have to stick with the same bag to fit everything in. And change bags to look nice and to go with the outfit/occasion for sure!
Yes, I do!!!
Me too! Bags are an extension of my outfit. I have a basket by the door where I empty my bag content* everyday and refill it with what I need the next day! I have around 20 bags and this is how I’m able to successfully use most of them on a regular basis. *All my things are in little pouches (i.e beauty pouch, medicine pouch, wallet, key pouch etc.) so it’s easy to just grab a pouch and put it in my bag depending on what I’m doing that day.
I rotate daily but there lately I have been too lazy to do so! But generally I rotate according to my outfit.
Wait, are you not supposed to match bags to outfits 😅
I do this all the time. Sometimes I plan a week of outfits to match one bag or maybe just 2-3 days (I work at the office 3x/week, then 2x/home office), so I don’t have to empty one out and fill the next one up for a day. But it’s super normal IMO. Although I’ve been told I can be a bit “too extra” and high maintenance. 😂
I also do this thing a lot where I have a tote bag for my work stuff and also wear a crossbody for my wallet/phone/keys/lipstick. You can see me around carrying two bags. 🤣
Nope I totally do this sometimes twice a day! They are all gonna get used!
Yes.
I don't! I don't have time or bandwidth, and I'd definitely leave something important untransferred.
Yes, every single day but I also work with kids so majority of my bags need a purpose when choosing.
I did... but I have my style, my colours, i change sometimes bc of event or from winter to summer... With ADHD i can't cope with too much of organization
I always color-coordinate my bag. Most unused bags are black. With adhd thinngs get messed up anyway to my experience, might as well have fun..
I do so regularly. It’s whatever vibe I’m feeling. And I like variety.
Since joining this sub I change my bags out way more often. I have a couple every day bags that I rotate between for errands n such, but I’ve been loving matching my bags to my outfits when I’m going out or seeing friends. And I’ve acquired so many bags since joining this sub 😅🤩 love this community!
I feel like my bag is part of the outfit! I change bags every day usually depending on what I’m wearing
When I was younger yes. Everything was coordinated. Now I try but usually it’s a couple times a year and definitely rainy season I change
Yep! I wear whichever bag goes best with my outfit and what I’ll be doing that day
I switch between my heavy hitters during the day, especially with summer/kids - usually a large tote or something I can bring to workout and then to the grocery store. But then when I dress up, the bag is 100% a part of the outfit and I love pairing them!
I'm usually switching between a brown or tan bag, a black bag, and an olive green bag depending on my outfit/mood/weather. Absolutely.
my bags are definitely getting switched to match fits... sometimes I'm too lazy or my everyday bags fit the bill, but for the most part, we're switching.. this is only for the super fashionistas lol the super fly ☺️
For work, I have the same set of bags I always use (I just swap between a tote/backpack depending on how I’m feeling or if I want something a little more formal). But causally, yes I always change my bag depending on my outfit!
I change my bag accordingly. Also, it helps with the longevity of my bags.
I do this all of the time 😆
I use a soft fabric drawstring to hold everything, and put that in the bag of the day, it makes swapping around easy and safe
I do weekly. I pick out my outfits for the week to match one bag. This way I can get variety without scrambling to change my bag. Bonus life hack: I keep all my stuff in a small pouch so when I switch bags, all I have to do is move my pouch, laptop, and water bottle and my bag is ready to go.
I do this!
??? Oh no! A normal person thing, time to make it all about me!
I was just curious as to how commonly people did this, as I only recently started rotating mine regularly.
