Dr. ERIN J TRANTHAM MD - FAMILY PRACTICE

I was always told if you take care of your things, they will last forever. I know it's true, but I was wondering does that really apply to just about everything? Then I came across an issue when I was doing a bit of Fall cleaning in my closet. All my purses didn't really look like they've been given enough TLC to last me into the next year!

So this idea I actually got from a friend of mine. I love buying purses (and really what girl doesn't), but sometimes they can be expensive so its really important to take care of them in every way you possibly can. Sometimes we get that slouchy purse affect, in which there are ripples and folds where they aren't exactly supposed to be, or we just want them to stand in their upright position. So how do we store our bags in a way that they will not lose their shape?

I was looking through my friends closet for a purse to borrow and inside every bag she had was a plastic Ziploc bag filled with none other than packing peanuts. I at first thought it was strange, but I realized that it really helped keep the shape of her bags. 

I decided to try this myself as soon as I got home. I pulled out all of my purses, some large plastic bags, some of those large styrofoam that I got from the last package that came in the mail. (If you don't have packing peanuts, than leftover tissue paper, newspaper, or anything else can work! Recycle items from around your home!) 

TRANTHAM HANDBAG from ALDO SHOES - I thought this was such a cute bag for Fall 2011. 

So I filled the bag, zipped it up, and placed one into each of my purses and viola! Now my bags will last longer for years to come!
