Dial back your Dork-O-Meter. Push the reset button on your travel fashion doofus sensor. We are going in Mr. Peabody's Way-Back Machine. There might be collateral aesthetic impacts.
I really like my new Kavu Sydney Satchel hiking bag for carrying my water bottle and camera. But could I carry that natural twill on my upcoming trip to D.C. for all those aerobic stairclimbing workouts on the broken Metro escalators?
For this I needed the advice of a fashion maven, so I sent photos to my sister in Bethesda with the request that she be brutally honest.
I think it works. The cross body bag is inherently unflattering and it gets worse the fuller it is. But I think it is totally functional. just make sure the strap is really comfortable.... Looks Fritziesque, but we are both becoming more like her, and that's how it goes.
☑ Capri pants with walking shoes
☑ Short-waisted
☑ Dorky sunhat
☑ Goo-goo over grandchild
☑ Notebook for jotting down meals
If I could just dial the Dork-O-Meter back a bit more, Fritzi could join me for this trip. She would be pretty darned excited, especially if pie was involved.
