I did a "A Look Inside: My Bag" post not too long ago for Kimmie over at Blue Paper Lanterns but since then lots has changed so I have decided to take IFB Project #9: What's in your bag as an opportunity to re-visit my life - bag-style - and see what's different.
My bag is United Colours of Benetton.
Usually I'm not a big fan of bags with big logos all over them
but in this case I found the neutrals blended well together,
plus it was on sale,
plus it's a very good style for summer.
THE CONTENTS:
- Notepad - I like to carry it so if I have a free moment I can work on my resume and accomplishment statements.
- When you are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris - I always carry a book, it's great for when you're waiting.
- Sunglasses - Marc by Marc Jacobs. Great go-tos.
- A sandwich - I don't always have a sandwich, I just do today. It's homemade roasted veggie with black olive tapenade, goat cheese and alfalfa sprouts. I am excited.
- Touch up bag - wouldn't you like to know what's in there?
- Black Marker pen - for headings.
- Bic fine tip pen - for notes.
- Tide to go - because I'm messy like that.
- Altoids - the curiously strong mint.
- Sony Cybershot Camera - just in case the moment warrants it.
- My wallet - complete with VISA, ID and everything in-between.
- Car keys and house keys - believe it or not, these don't always make it in :S
- Aveeno Face Sunscreen - because I'm safe like that.
- Flash Drive - I feel weird without one.
- Elastic band and bobby pins - great back up in case it rains... now if only I could learn some cool up-dos.
- B.Kamins Lip Balm - it's balmy.
- Sidekicks - flats in a bag.
- Cardigan - because I do not enjoy being cold.
- Ear buds - so I can pretend to listen to music while eavesdropping when I'm bored.. not really - maybe sometimes..
- My watch - it needs a few links removed so I carry it with me in case the opportunity arises.
Overall I think my bag says a few key things about me:
I like to be prepared for a variety of outcomes.
I like to be comfortable.
I like to stay busy.
I like to eat sandwiches.
One item noticeable missing from this array is my phone. Usually my phone does find a nice little spot within my bag but this, this is no bag - it is a bottomless pit that eats phones. So, when toting this bottomless pit around I like to keep my phone in my pocket and avoid embarrassing, cat-ladyesq behaviour when trying not to miss a call.
