Twenty years later, the hands-free nature of a hip bag has new appeal. Of course, it needs to be made of leather, not nylon, and have a more structured shape than the saggy fanny pack. This updated version has a sort of urban cowgirl vibe.

No waste around my waist!
Great outfit! I love those boots. Does your lipstick match the pink of the dress?? Fun!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a waist bag like that, I would probably wear it out shopping.
ReplyDeleteI really like that ruffled blouse - very cute on you.
We called them bum bags in the 80s. I am guilty of owning one - I used it when I did the marathon or if I'm doing a really long walk and don't have a jacket with pockets on. Guilty!
I love the bag -- when I began to read the post I thought it would be one of those black nylon ones - I hate those! (even though they are so convenient)
ReplyDeleteWhen I see them "fanny packs" it makes one look tourist-like, wrinkles your clothes AND makes that part of your body sweat like crazy!
But, this bag is another story... :o)
I love the bag! I never in a million years would have thought I would like anything remotely close to a 'fanny pack' but this is so chic and different! Nice post!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the bag! It reminds me of the one Fiona wears on Burn Notice. I've actually been looking for one - where did you get it?
ReplyDeletejennifer - I bought the bag via etsy, but you can also buy it directly from the Happy Cow website: http://happycow.com.au/
