I’m in the market for a new bag of some kind, and I realized after sorting through hundreds on Etsy (wrong color, wrong style, or wrong size) I realized that I have retained one and only one lesson from my first job: buy a bag the size of your butt. Yes, that’s the lesson I’ve retained from the Cobbie Shop, home of shoes for women with problem feet in search of comfortable shoes (and ugly handbags for all). Your handbag must match your butt size. And, if you don’t know the rule, you will gravitate toward a butt-size handbag anyway.
Readers, do you have any lessons learned from former jobs that you apply today?

that’s funny
i just gave a funky purple bag and a shiny black bag to my sister-in-law, i never use them ever since i bought my PacSafe Citysafe 200 Secure Handbag from gogogear.com.au for my OS trip, it’s all i use, so many handy compartments for things and basic black, so goes with everything
excuse me while i go measure if it’s the same size as my butt

Yes. It’s impossible to be creative under fluorescent lights.

Indeed, Ellen. Me too.
I’m going to look into gogogear, Kel. And good luck with the measurements….
