Normally, I carry my personal items in a bag similar to this. Being able to wear a handbag makes things so much easier for me, that I have started to hate having to use pockets when presenting as a male. Yet, I'm not out to say which is easier, as pockets reduce the number of things one must hunt through to find the things one wants.
Today, I received a small Crossbody bag that I can use to hold my essentials while traveling. Why is this important? I don't want to be rummaging through a small backpack (my personal item) to find things when at the airport. Instead, I want to carry a small bag to carry things such as my driver's license, cash, and my cell phone that I can stuff in my backpack when I no longer need access to them.
Although it will feel very awkward at first, I expect that I will find this bag very useful when I travel en-femme, and flying with only a carry-on. But if I'm checking bags, it makes much more sense for me to carry my usual handbag, as this gives me much more flexibility when I arrive where I'm going.
Let's hope that this isn't wasted money....
PS: I ended up changing my wallet too. See why in future posts....
