Do you love handbags? We do.
And with Fall fashions starting to trickle into stores, we just can't wait any longer to show how much we appreciate you! So share a secret with us & enter to win a genuine Dooney & Bourke handbag in the SheSpeaks Member Appreciation Giveaway!*
For some of us, handbags can be an outward sign of fashion savvy or earning power or represent something so deeply personal that we will sacrifice and save-up endlessly, to get just the right one.
But the real function of a bag is to carry stuff around. In colonial days, a woman's role was largely domestic and she carried her few belongings in a little pouch concealed in the folds of her skirt. But as women emerged into the workforce, the need arose for a sturdier accessory to hold her personal effects.
Now it is time to share a little secret!
Besides the daily-survival-kit & weekend-warrior-necessities like your phone, keys, make-up, safety pins, bandaids, hand sanitizers, headphones and umbrella .. .
what is the one thing that everyone who knows you would be surprised to learn is in your handbag?
Tell us in the comments below, and you could be a lucky winner
of one of the Dooney & Bourke handbags pictured here!
One could soon be yours!

JustJodi | Colorado Springs, COI keep a small wooden pick (shaped like the bottom half of a chopstick) in my purse for those moments when I have a random hot flash. So I can twist my hair into a bun, poke it through and look stylish while I am cooling down.
