Once you’ve used a wallet a while, you’ll realize how much of the stuff you carried in your purse is really superfluous.
I carry a wallet, keys, a chapstick, a little change (maybe $.075 + a few pennies), and a comb in trouser pockets. My blackberry on the belt has the addressbook, etc.
You can put a couple of stamps in your wallet – you do need to be fairly diligent to keep your wallet slim: drivers’s license, a couple of credit cards, insurance card, cash, a few stamps is all, maybe 1-2 business cards.
Anything else can go in a briefcase or in a backpack or car — for the times you do need them.
