Bag it up(date again)
Monday, April 20, 2009 at 10:17AM My new bag came on Friday. I think I really like it. It's a little bulkier than I wanted - it sticks out from my hip a little too far - but I think once I use it a little, it'll soften up and relax down a bit. I packed it full of stuff and walked around with it for awhile to see how comfortable it is, and I love the shoulder strap so far. I think it'll be just fine to hold my water bottle, notebook, wallet and (maybe) my coat. Okay ready? This is what I got:
Cute right? Like I said, it's comfortable and very functional. It has lots of compartments, which I like, but they're all kind of disguised, not sticking out making the bag seem bulky. It's very sleek no? Can you picture me walking around Ireland like this:
I like it. I think it meets my needs. And even if all the other girls are carrying around cute hobo purses, I think I'll be happy with my choice. What do you think?
(You're allowed to dislike it. I'm going to keep it anyway, but don't be afraid of making me lose my mind like I threatened before. That's called overreacting.)

Finally delurking to say very cute bag! This would make the perfect birthday gift for a family friend. By chance would you tell the name of the bag? Have a great trip to Ireland
I went to the Web site you said you bought it at in your previous post, and I saw that one, and I was totally going to e-mail you and ask if that was it! I knew it! Good choice, :)
I like that one! And I have to say (though I know Scotland is different from Ireland) that bag is the least touristy of them all. I think you'll blend in just fine!
I like it! It's my fave out of all 3 options.
I love it! Excellent selection! You did the right thing! Far and away my fav! P.S. The locals will think you are one of them -- until you open your mouth and that sweet, midwestern, GR charm comes out! :)
It's adorable. You can keep it. That t-shirt, however, is going to have to go. If you like, you can pop it in a box and I'll dispose of it for you. And by dispose of it, I mean wear it.
I like it! But then again... I liked the other two as well.
love.it. I can't wait to see all of your lovely pics....ps, maybe an awesome photo blog post could be all of the places your awesome new bag visited..? (you're welcome for the awesome semi-non original idea)
Love it. :) You are so ready to flirt with Irish dudes. Er, maybe that's what I'd want to do.
Yes! Much better than the last two choices. I think it was color that you were missing. You are ready for Ireland, lassie!
Very cute!
love love love it ... :-)
Love it!
Yay. Great choice!
Yes! Best bag ever! I WANT IT.
I really like it! Great choice.
Ummm, I want one, that's super cute
[...] answer a question asked by many: yes, I loved the bag I ended up buying for this trip. You can see it in use here (sort of… it was usually slung [...]
