We carried a micro purse and here's what happened
"Good Morning America" decided to try MZ Wallace's Micro Metro Tote.

The candy-colored bag was so chic, we were determined to make it work.
Two of our producers first got acquainted with the bag on camera to see what would fit.
The ladies found the micro purse forced them to scale down big time. If you’re like us, we carry everything in our bags -- and we mean everything.

One of our work totes alone currently holds at least 2 pounds of belongings (we weighed it for the sole purpose of this article). What's inside you ask? Two pairs of sunglasses, an umbrella, loads of makeup products and dry shampoo ... it's safe to say we had to toss more than we could take.
Ditching a Mary Poppins satchel wasn't easy at first. Nor was the actual nightmare of not being able to comfortably tote every cosmetic item we own.
But one of us carried the micro instead of our regular bag and quite honestly, it sparked a realization that minimalism can be liberating. It felt much lighter both physically and mentally.

In the end, here's what fit without the bag being over-stuffed (the interior pockets were great for organizing too).
Slim sunglasses case
Cellphone
Lip gloss
Lip balm
Powder compact
Debit card and license
Cash
Car keys
Hand sanitizer
Hand cream
Gum
Headphones

The micro purse received a flood of compliments especially with its cranberry lacquer color. Because of its petite size, it was fun going bold on the shade.
Of course we got the occasional comment, \"I'd never be able to fit anything in there.\"
But not having to rummage around for a cellphone, among other things, was more freeing than you could ever imagine.
