Turning into my mother


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.
