musings on bags

Saw this question pop up in the morning and have spent the rest of the day thinking about bags. Turns out I’m harboring a lot of opinions on them. Like flora I agree that you need one in each size (s/m/l). Additionally as a person who treats my clothes and accessories like trash it’s imperative I have a bag that isn’t precious but looks chic. Which is why I always go with a medium sized leather bucket bag in a fun or neutral color. I go through one every 5 years. In college I had my mom’s 70s Dooney and Bourke, when I moved to New York I treated myself to a Creatures of Comfort (RIP) and recently I scored an OAD bag (also maybe RIP?) off The Real Real. Bucket bags fit everything, but don’t look like you’re schlepping your whole life in there. I also like going bagless and using just a Petit Pli mini pocket that I wear around my neck. There’s enough room to tuck a card and a key in too. On the XL size I love my Baggu cloud bag. It’s the absolute goat for travel because it also is collapsable!

BAGGU SHOULDER BAG

Lightweight Fits my: makeup, 32oz water bottle, 2 iPads, notebook all my crap really. Adjustable strap length and I think it’s still cute enough to wear to dinner. Comes in leather as well for a classier option. Highly reccomend!

HUGE BAG

i’ve been using a small sling bag for the past year and always end up with my hands and pockets full of the overflow that won’t fit in my attempted minimalist approach to storage. i recently bought a fairly oversized satchel and it’s markedly improved my day to day life. i can bring my books AND water bottle AND notebook AND camera AND ongoing collection of sentimental bottle-caps AND i have a place to put the pomelo i bought on my walk AND the jacket i might want for later on AND my hands are now free for high-fives or dancing or putting more things in my huge bag!

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

MAY DAY

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
