WOULD YOU WEAR A FANNY PACK?

Style
Written By alessa m. rodriguez

Now here’s the thing, I’m still pretty new to @stoneyclover myself even though my collection is quickly growing I get questions I don’t always have answers for until I test them. For example: How much can I fit into my Fanny packs or why do I even wear them?

Currently, I have two. One in Noir and one in Ruby and love them both so much! I can fit quite a bit too as you can see. Concerning the Ruby color, it did also come in jumbo but I didn’t grab that one. That’s a lot for little old me. Now for the Why…

Because I love to be hands-free in NYC. If you live here you’ll know how easy it is to end up with a lot of stuff on your person. So to counteract that I usually go hands-free so if I need to I can hold a few bags without a problem. I find wearing a fanny pack quite perfect for that.

So picture a beautiful spring day walking around New York and all of a sudden you see a jacket you like, and then remember you need syrup or something? It happens! Wearing a fanny around my shoulder works great cause I can hold those things with no issue. Speaking of how I wear it I prefer it over the shoulder than around the waist. The waist for the ’80s don’t you agree?

So I have to ask, would you wear one and how would you wear it?

there's something about september in new york city that makes me want to get dressed again.

august is all about surviving the heat and squeezing every last bit of summer out of the city. september feels different. suddenly the mornings are a little cooler, the sidewalks feel a little busier, and everyone seems to be returning to their routines.

and honestly? i love it.

Outfits I Wear on Repeat in Harlem.

There are some outfits in my closet that I wear once, love, and then somehow forget about. And then there are the outfits I wear all. the. time.

You know the ones. The outfits that make getting dressed easy because you already know they work. The ones you reach for when you're running out for coffee, heading downtown, meeting a friend, spending the afternoon wandering around New York, or just want to feel a little more put together without actually putting that much effort in.

Wardrobe Staples for NYC Women in Their 30s.

There’s something about getting dressed in New York City that makes you rethink your entire wardrobe.

You can leave your apartment in the morning for a coffee run and somehow end up walking three miles, sitting in a café for two hours, running errands, meeting a friend for dinner, and making an impromptu stop somewhere you’ve never been before. Your clothes have to keep up with you.

And honestly? I think getting older has changed the way I think about getting dressed, too.

In my 20s, I was much more willing to buy something simply because I thought it was cute. These days, I want my clothes to be cute and comfortable. I want pieces that can be worn five different ways, shoes I can actually walk in, and a wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel easier instead of more complicated.
