What’s Hot, What’s Not – Fanny Packs
Mrs. Moran with her fanny pack.
I don’t know about you guys, but I am not a fan of big purses or larger bags, unless I’m headed overnight of course! On this week’s issue of what’s hot and what’s not I will be sharing my tips and tricks on staying organized and fashionable.
Like I said earlier, big bags are great for things like traveling and sleepovers, but if I’m out and about I don’t want a large bag on my arm weighing me down like an anchor. Plus everytime I accessorize with a larger purse everything gets lost inside, and there’s more attention on the purse than me. Not cool. One more thing, and this may be a personal issue but I find myself digging in frustration for things like: my keys, phone, and literally anything else I would need in that moment because it has been sucked into the black hole. Getting to the point, if there’s one bag I could put in everyone’s closet it would be, a cross body fanny pack.
I know what you’re thinking: fanny packs are for old people, but you couldn’t be more wrong. A cross body fanny pulls your entire look together while adding an upscale vibe to your volume. The fanny is the perfect size and can fit everything you need. Things like your phone, cash, makeup, cologne,keys, and all other essentials will fit nice and neat in your little pack, but that’s not even the best part! Because you’re literally wearing your bag, you never have to worry about losing it, or getting anything stolen from you. Ditch digging through a massive mess for that one coupon, or mascara, and go get yourself a cross body fanny! <3

Thanks for the tip. Now I can dust off my old Fanny pac or just buy a new cool one since they are so small! I grew up in the days of small purses and unlike some my colleagues, I never carried a huge bag, even with kids. You are right—so much simpler!

I’m onboard with a small cross body purse for everyday use (I use to refer to them as “bar bags” & the description of their contents is not PG rated), but cannot jump on the “fanny pack” bandwagon.
And Delaney is right — parenthood causes some long engrained habits as to “necessities” when you’re outside of your home.

I didn’t know you owned a fanny pack. Also, looks like Paige’s in the @scw_today IG pics. Hmmm….

TBF, the not-so-hot purse bag has its history.
1. when you have kids, you carry, snacks, drinks, diapers, wipes, tide sticks, a plethora of medicines (basically I am my own pharmacy), bills, coupons, gift cards, my husband’s car keys.
2. with aging skin, add creams and lotions and more makeup. I need a face-lift in that thing.
3. I have the whole Karen fit going. Don’t mess with Delaney. I can argue my way out of it all.
