Not Your 80's Fanny Pack

      Am I seriously liking this fanny pack? Yes! Would I actually get this and wear it? Maybe? I'm not sure. Have I gone insane? Most likely yes.
     Those fanny packs of the 80s, where you wore them by your belt buckles were hideous, and they've got to go away forever. And the outdoorsy butt packs seemed very practical but not fashionable.
     And here pops up this bag that is a fanny/butt/hip bag, and yet it's somehow cute and fashionable. (Ok you can question whether it's fashionable or not but I think it is. Not trendy, not on the Paris catwalks, but it's fashionable and I say so.) The cute girly colors and the feminine ruffles make this something different from the fanny packs of the days gone by.
   
   
This bag would have come in handy when I was traveling overseas with my then 11 month old. When you've got your hands full of luggage and kid, a bag like this can be very handy.
     Or when I'm having my play dates in the park. Do you want to walk around with your diaper bag or nice fancy purse through the park? But you do need somewhere to put your keys, phone, and wallet. Plus a few things for the baby. So why not a bag like this.  
     Just do me one favor... please don't wear it on your butt like the picture below. Or right under your belly either. I think it looks best on the hip to the side, or on the shoulder.
