What's in my bag: February
Alison Pegg
As much as I loved carrying around last month’s shearling tote, I told myself this year that I would try and rotate my bags monthly and actually wear my wardrobe.
It’s going to be really hard to switch out February’s bag for March’s after carrying it for last 29 days. Perhaps I can break my own rule and switch out my work bag instead because I loved carrying this bag so much.
What bag you might wonder?
There’s nothing not to like about this bag. It holds a ton but doesn’t look huge, has a wide shoulder strap that helps distribute weight and also includes a crossbody strap if you want to wear it messenger style. It’s a zip top to keep your belongings inside (or keep others out), has a clip for keys, and a small interior pocket to stash lip gloss, pens, or whatever else you might want handy.
I think my favourite feature though is where it’s from. Designed and handmade in Cleveland, Ohio by a skilled group of artisans. I love supporting local and couldn’t be more proud to carry it.
Inside my bag, it’s more of the same from January with a few switches. This pair of fingerless cashmere gloves to wear in the office (I wish I was kidding) was added. Oddly enough I found them in the men’s section after the women’s version kept selling out.
I also switched up my sunnies for a pair that hugs my eyes a bit tighter. We saw a delightful amount of sun this month and these sunglasses were perfect to shield the rays.
Given my lip balm obsession, I’m surprised it too until February for a Dior Lip Glow to appear in my page. The pink 01 colour is the perfect “cold girl makeup” shade for the winter months. For something a little more sophisticated, this Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly in sesame is the perfect “milky mauve” with a hint of gloss.
Rounding out my bag this month is the brightest and happiest of contents, my baggu happy print reusable bag. The colour is super easy to find in a big black bag (which makes it perfect to put on the bottom) and the bag came in handy from everything to Target runs to trips to Aldi. Wholeheartedly recommend this cheery little print.
