So I have pretty much finished getting all of the possible bags I want/need. But I am still looking for that perfect work bag. I think I have finally figured out exactly what I need to carry, and the key features.
Here is my list...how about you:
1. removable crossbody strap, either thick or padded or both
2. room for a laptop (15" macbook sized), and it's power adapter, and an external mouse
3. space for an ipad or e-reader
4. space for a portfolio
5. space for a few folders or magazines
6. space for my big wallet
7. space for a scarf
8. space for an umbrella
8. space for a water bottle
9. space for a reusable bag
10. space for my purse dailies: lotion, lip gloss, etc.
11. external pocket big enough for a cell phone, and small wristlet
12. And a little room to spare for any of the random stuff I may pick up during the day
13. Neutral
14. Visual interest/details
I know that list looks absolutely ridiculous. But the reason my other bags fail is because I don't have room for some key item. Or I have to carry an extra bag to make it work.
I do have some close call bags....but none are quite perfect for one reason or another.
