Brilliant, Marcy! I love the travel bag in a regular bag tip! Thank you!
This is great! Love Marcy!
Awesome tips!
Thanks for the great idea with the already packed bag to slip into any of the others! Very helpful! I love the color and style of your hair, Marcy! Brilliant!
REALLY smart tip to have a smaller bag with all of our essentials already packed, and then move that into whatever larger handbag we want for the day. Such an awesome Type 1 solution!! Thank you, Marcy!
I love your necklace Marcy! I wish I had it. 🙂
Great tips! I have my essentials in a separate bag also, but definitely have a “mom” bag with a hodge podge of stuff in it. I’m working on dividing all of the extras into smaller bags (as Carol suggests in the T3 video) to keep things lighter when I don’t need to carry it all. Another thing I like in a bag, and maybe there are others like me, is a full zippered top. I’m always tossing my bag around and it needs to keep everything in from any angle!
I wonder what a type 1/2 bag looks like then. The most important thing for me when choosing a handbag is definitely that it needs to be LIGHT. This is why I mostly use cloth totebags lol. I do wish I had a more structured bag sometimes, but usually structure means HEAVY 🙁 sigh
I carry a separate bag inside my purse. I use the baggallini. I purchased from Amazon.com.
Has the DYT store stopped selling handbags?
Bettina, thank you for your question. Our buyers will only bring in items that are best for each type. At this time, they have not found bags that are what they are looking for to offer to our customers. Should they find something that is just to great to pass up, they will offer them again in the future. Until then, there are no handbags in our inventory. If you are a Lifestyle member, you may find handbags by your type through great online stores. If not please use the tips for choosing the Most Adorable Handbags to buy at your favorite local store.
That strawberry is a bag?!?! I love it!
I love that yellow blouse on you, Marcy! My favorite so far of all the outfits I’ve seen on you–so pretty with your hair and with that beautiful necklace! Also love the tip about the travel satchel to pop into any other bag! My secondary type is 2, so I love the look of soft, squishy bags but hate rummaging around in them—your tip is perfect for that!
I’ve been looking all over the website for the pink handbag in this video and can’t find it, is it still available?
Katie, this is Kathy from Carol’s support team. This is no longer available through the Style Finder. There are however some other great bags for your type! You may check it out by clicking on the link above. Thank you!
