I started looking into fanny packs more as a necessity & as a more practical alternative to the crossbody bag. Now, why do we need an alternative to the crossbody bag? There are two reasons. First, Summer is almost here & everybody likes to celebrate in the Sun. And I make it point to attend events to mingle with other bloggers & discover new local brands. Needless to say, food & drinks are involved in these events like any other events. And I need to have both my hands free. The second reason is I needed a change, just got bored of crossbody bags. And when I started looking for an alternative the fanny pack solution. I was on the lookout for a chic one because the traditional “dad”/”mom” fanny pack wasn’t really my jam. That’s why I was thrilled to see this boho-edgy one at Target & I just knew I had to have it. This faux-leather fanny pack has a marbled look with metal accents for a pop of contrasting style. It’s definitely not a replacement for the crossbody bag because let’s be real it’s pretty small. But it fits all my essentials, my iPhone 7 plus, credit cards & some makeup. It totally works for the events that I attend.
I styled it with another beauty from Target, this off the shoulder, embroidered, bell sleeve dress. Are there any trends this dress doesn’t have? If I were to have only ONE dress for SUmmer, I think I would choose this one. To add a pop of color I added my favorite pair of shoes, mules. And just when I thought mules couldn’t get any better, Who What Wear came out with these BOMB red kitten heel pointed toe ones!
