If you have a small cross body bag, what do you have in it?

I want to treat myself to a new bag & have seen lots of people with smallish cross body bags which look nice. I currently have a bag that is far too big & it just gets filled with junk & becomes heavy to carry.

My purse is a fair size though so I'm not sure it would fit in those little cross body bags. Most mums I know also have large purses so I'm wondering how they fit them in these bags & that it surely wouldn't leave much room for anything else.

What sort of bag do you have for everyday use & if you have a small cross body bag what do you keep in it?

I have a small cross body one - just bought as sick of lugging a huge bag around.

So far I am filling it with:

house/car keys
phone
small change purse which I stuff with credit cards too
sunglasses -but no bulky case
specs
travel size pkt wet wipes
lippe, concealer, eye pencil
tissues
couple of panty liners

Buy a phone case with card slots in in, buy a small coin type purse for change and notes and ditch your purse.

All I really carry on a day-to-day basis is car keys, phone, my e cig, packet of gum. Plenty of room left in my bag to carry sanitary towels etc as necessary.

I read the title as cross=annoyed. Confused

Small purse, phone, lip gloss, eyeliner, tissues, pen and keys. Keys weigh more than the rest put together! I hang a caribiner inside my bag and clip them on to that so I can find them when they sink to the bottom.

I have a big bag with folders/lunch etc in as well for work though.

I have a small cross body bag. I keep in it: poo bags, a whistle, tissues, phone, door key and some money. It is my dog walking bag!

And I can just squeeze a small brolly and ipad in if I want to. The bag is about exactly the same dimensions as an iPad but obviously a bit wider.
