A cellphone, wallet & a handkerchief/tissue.
But it depends on where you're going. If it's just to run an errand then these will do just fine.
If you're required to dress up and going to be gone a while, you'll need a proper handbag to go along with your outfit. Something like this would go with any outfit.
And shoes, of course again the kind you wear depends on the occasion. I'm not a big fan of wedges, given my love-hate relation with them. Hate them when someone else wears them and kicks my toes into my feet. Love them, of course, because of their comfort. Either go for heels or flats if you share my love for people. Based on the journey to your destination they're going to have to be durable and comfortable. If it's to impress a guy however, put on the heels & grin and bear the pain, if any. Believe me, if it hurts long enough, after a while you're not going to remember you have feet. Just kidding. Slip in a pair of flats in your bag to carry along and change into.
Everything that's important for the occasion goes into that handbag:
