i made my pants to have the pocket space for everything i need and usually jacket has room for the other stuff. london is cold so it’s easy to do
but tote for big shit 100% just hate the way everything else feels & looks
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!
you know when you find a bag with perfect handles? bulky, leather jacket? no problem. slippery trench coat? don't worry about it! oh you need to also fit your laptop? ALL GOOD!
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!
leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)
go drink some right now
it’s good for your body and skin and has magical healing properties when consumed at the right times. currently it’s helping me beat a hangover
