Question about ladies accessories

[DeeZire]

What would a young lady carry with her for a walk on the beach? Not a big purse, right? Some kind of ??? She would be carrying a water bottle. Her outfit would be a little seersucker one-piece thing. She would be a rather conservative, church-going type of person.

This is for a story I'm working on, and I'd hate to get the details wrong.

Hmmm...I'd carry an over the shoulder type of bag where I could put my towel, sunscreen, lotion, water and everything in. But I'm not a conservative, church-going type of person. Hope that helps! LOL

It has to be a small thing. This woman must be ill-prepared for what's about to happen.

Let her be ill-prepared for the walk then... Her little clutch purse-- AND the water bottle... Cute slippers that fill right up with sand...

 

[tickledkitty]

If she's just taking a walk, why should she take anything but her water bottle? I'd only take a tote with a towel and stuff in it if I was settling in for a while.

 

[glynndah]

Perhaps no purse at all. Just her water bottle and her keys in her pocket.

A small tote, bottle of water, paperback romance (like Grace livingston hill, no sex).

If she is swimming she could have her suit on under her outfit. A towel

She could have a small purse but it could be filled with completely useless items like fingernail clippers, reciepts, fingernail polish, small calculator ect. It would actually make a funny scene where she dumps out her purse to find something and has all of this useless junk in it.

Sounds like my girlfriend's purse...

I agree with stella...let her be completely clueless about even the apropriate attire for the beach...perhaps not even water...and a lack of cash (she's a plastic person ) to buy even a bottle!

A pair of 8X30 binoculars, a ham, plenty of plastic beads, a gram of pharmaceutical cocaine, a wooden leg, a Gollywog, a jar of worms, a fake fingernail, a cage of lovebirds, a guide to Scotch Tartans, dried haddock (or halibut), A Segway, boxing gloves, a pinecone, a bus timetable for Jerusalem, Neatsfoot oil, a stuffed Macaque

 

[DeeZire]

I think clutch purse is what I was looking for. All she needs is her car keys, but her outfit is too flimsy to have a pocket for them.

Thanks for the help. I'll revive this thread when the story posts, in case you want to find out what happens, but that won't be till summer.

I want to meet this woman! But why in god's name does she need a pinecone?

It can be used as a barometer

 

[DeeZire]

It can be used as a barometer

That's a relief. I was afraid it was a sex toy.

In an emergency, she could use the ham

 

[Stella_Omega]

In an emergency, she could use the ham

A ham is an all-purpose emergency item!

Hey now! Everyone carries a periodic table, scientific calculator, dental floss, hair brush, nail file and other neccessities in their purse....

don't they?

Well, I once won a scavenger hunt solely with the contents of my car...

They really should bring back Let's make a Deal.....I would soooo win if they asked about things in my purse.

You are such a geek.

 

[Misty_Morning]

You are such a geek.

I am NOT!

I am just...prepared.











OK, maybe I am a geek, but don't tell anyone.

I won't tell a soul.

Well, it all depends on the shoes, she can't decide which purse to carry until she picks out her shoes.

Does she have seersucker flip-flops on?

For that she should carry a small light beige clutch, containing just her normal sundry items and bible for light reading and shark repellent.

 

[Misty_Morning]

I won't tell a soul.

Gee...thanks for keeping a secret.

 

[cheerful_deviant]

Perhaps I was a bit to sublte?

A clutch purse should be big enough for Joe's list -- with Misty's additions -- 'cause purses are, like, magical and bottomless, fer sher.. I once knew this elf who, like, kept her armor and war saddle and a 15 foot lance in her purse of holding, yanno?
