I'm stressing out about this and it's such a miniscule issue. But
seriously. Someone help me make a decision! I have a major (first world)
problem!
|
BAGS is my problem! |
I
need to figure out what freakin' bag to carry with me in the parks. I
have a couple of pre-existing options, or I need to buy a new one. In
the past I have taken a huge backpack (too big), a little backpack (but
one of those lame little stringy ones, so it was unorganized and
useless), a crossbody bag (that was way too small) and a purse (actually
wasn't too bad but I don't prefer it.)
On this trip I am planning (well, hoping) to take with me to the parks:
- My wallet
- Customized maps
- A couple of vinylmation for trading
- And small snacks!
Here are my options for this trip...
|
My pink flamingo rucksack! I got it on clearance at Icing.
Sometimes I use it for actual legitimate reasons, like school.
It carries pretty much everything I need, including my laptop. |
|
Option
A) My pink flamingo rucksack. It's basically a backpack but a little smaller.
It's not meant to carry heavy things because sometimes I put my laptop
in and then it refuses to close. But I won't be carrying my laptop, so
it's not like it matters. So here's the pros and cons of the pink
flamingo rucksack. Feel free to tell me if I forget anything obvious.
Pros
|
Cons
|
- Plenty
of room!
- Especially
to carry snacks!
- Stays
on your back, no having to put it down all the time like a purse.
- Not
too large like a normal backpack.
|
- A
little too big, maybe?
- Having
to take it off for rides and photos.
- And
to pay for things to get my wallet out.
- It’s
white. Will it get messy? Does it even matter?

I love this little sucker. My go-to crossbody.
I got it at Charlotte Russe for fifteen dollars, on sale.
It's bigger than my other crossbody and on a normal day carries:
My keys, wallet (which is large) and make-up bag if I stuff it in there well enough. |
Option B) The small crossbody. This is my usual everyday bag. It does carry a surprising amount for how small it is, but I worry that I won't be able to take snacks! If I took this, I'd have to take the contents out of my wallet and put it into a smaller one to maximize space. It also has a small zippered compartment in the front. To the pros and cons...
Pros
|
Cons
|
- It’s
small.
- I
NEVER HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF! Literally, photos, rides, eating… so
efficient.
|
- It’s
small.
- It
can’t hold many (if any) snacks so I’d have to eat prior to leaving the
park and no snack during the day… is that so bad? I just don’t know…
|
And finally, option C.
|
My pink polka dot lunch tote from Old Navy.
This isn't actually it, but it's the closest I could find on the Internet.
It was pretty cheap and I bought it because I need it for school, but I haven't actually used it yet so I don't know what all fits in this little guy. |
|
|
Option C) My pink polka dot lunch tote. I literally just bought this so I have no idea how much it can hold, but the reason I'm considering it at all is because it comes with this handy dandy crossbody strap. So technically, I think I could wear it as a crossbody bag. I might have to test it out first to see how much it really holds. The inside is insulated, so I can keep my wallet cold. LOL. Just kidding. It looks like it'll definitely hold a bit more than the standard crossbody bag...
Pros
|
Cons
|
- I
can take snacks!!!!
- It’s
got a crossbody strap attached so it’s a crossbody and a lunch tote in
two?
- So I
could probably leave it on for rides and such instead of removing it all
the time…
|
- Kind
of an awkward shape.
- Definitely meant to be a lunch bag instead of a purse, but it could work, right?! Maybe?!
- My
camera will be insulated… I don’t think that’s really a con, but
whatever.
|
So there's the pros and cons for everything. Someone needs to make a decision for me! I'm indecisive!
