Despite the fact that there are about 97 things in my purse right now, I think there's probably only 9 things that a woman in 2015 really must have.

I have a problem. I carry almost everything I own in my purse. Sometimes there's an extra shirt and flip-flops in there, too. I defend myself by saying I basically live in my car and I need to be prepared at all times for anything, but really that doesn't mean I need all of this stuff in my actual purse.

There are bags for that.

But, women carry purses for a reason and with my co-workers helping me to whittle away my list, ironically my male co-workers, I have decided that these 9 things are necessities.

I'm going to attempt to scale back by 97 things, to just these 9. With of course a few extras like woman things you need to carry with you every 28 days or so... a little more make-up and and floss, because I eat a lot of chicken.

What's on your list?
