What's in my bag: August edition

  

I like doing these periodic "What's in My Bag" posts, because it definitely changes with the seasons and life changes. So here we go:

- Bag: Fossil crossbody bag, thrifted

- Cell phone

- Keys: includes keychains from Camp Rainey Mountain, Empire State Building and the Space and Rocket Center

- Lip stuff: Clinique Buttershine Lipstick in Fresh Watermelon, Long Last Glosswear in Clearly Pink and Juicy Apple

- Hand sanitizer dispenser

- Photos from the photobooth with Jeremiah (at Dawgs After Dark)

- Moleskine notebook full of outfit ideas

- Vintage thrifted cat-eye sunglasses

- Abas full frame clutch wallet (from the Orchids in Buttonholes  giveaway-- thank you, Sara!)

What's in your bag, dear readers? Happy Sunday!

What's in my bag: the essentials list

I'm always interested in other bloggers' "inside-the-purse" posts. Maybe it's the psychology major in me, but I think peering in others' bags can be just as insightful as taking a peek into their bathrooms and bedrooms: you can learn so much from an individual based on what's important enough for them to carry around. (I think an entire episode of "Boy Meets World" was based around this concept in which Shawn meets his dream girlfriend after he finds her lost purse).

My bag changes everyday -- I have a work bag that I carry, but when I get home, I want to carry something smaller, and so I just carry what will fit in the bag. Here's what I usually carry to the park:

Mini-backpack: thrift find

Keys: featuring keychains from the Empire State Building, the Space & Rocket Center and Camp Rainey Mountain;

Lipstick: Estee Lauder in Pomegranate Rose

Cell phone

Hand sanitizer dispenser

A book: This one is "Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul" (I'm a huge comic superhero fan)

Apartment gate opener

Not seen: my camera (a Kodak V1073) and my wallet (which was packed in the car at the time -- can't be too careful at the park).

I'd love to see what you carry in your bags...
