The Fanny Pack {or Return of the 80s}

Ok, you may think this makes me really nerdy
Or you may think it's a fashion faux pas
But if you do, I think you're wrong.

I want a fanny pack.

Remember those?
From the 80's?
I mean if leggings and bright colored tunics can be back
(and they are in my house)
Why not fanny packs?

Between being an event planner and a puppy mama I can find a zillion reasons to have one
Everything is within reach
With no bulky purse to carry
No sore shoulders
Whether you're running (and I mean running) around onsite at an event
Or walking your dog down the street and realize that you forgot the poop bags again

Gucci has some really sleek ones (above)
That I cant afford
But I didn't start feeling excited about it
Until I discovered the awesomeness on Etsy

How flirty and fun are these waist purses from Kinies?

You know I love me some ruffles

And how fab is this recycled leather fanny pack from Happy Cow?

If didn't know better, I would think it's a thick, gorgeous designer belt.

These are not your mother's fanny packs
Now deemed *hip bags* or *waist purses*
They are gorgeous
fashion forward
chic and flirty
and well made

The leather on this hip pack from Swadeshi Leatherworks is just delicious

It looks so high end and fab!

I love the detailing on this hip purse from GimmCat 

And it's got a perfect little spot for your iPhone (essential) when you're on the go!

So what do you think?

Are you ready to give fanny packs a second chance?
