Bag Lady

I’ll admit it; I’m a bag lady.  Going out to my car in the mornings and coming home at night I typically lug no less than 3 bags in and out with me.  In my defense, they are organized, and they are all necessary.  There’s my teaching bag – with my lesson plans, syllabus books, music and teaching shoes.  My school book carries notebooks and text books for the classes I’m taking, and I would be one grumpy woman if I didn’t tote around a lunch bag with me, when my blood sugar is low I’m not the most cheery of people.  Now I don’t really mind being a bag lady because I’m a fashionable one; my bags are just paper and plastic grocery bags (although those do have a time and place), my bags are cute and fun as well as functional. 

Love this bag! A gift from Janice - she knows I love a bag.

Maybe my love of bags stems from my early dance training.  As a young and aspiring ballerina, you are taught that it’s important to have a dance bag – one place where all of your dance things (shoes, leotard, hair pins etc) go so that when the time comes to dance, you’re organized and ready to go.  Here are a few cute ballet bag options for the mini ballerinas you may have in your life! (These are all from discountdance.com).  It's a well known truth that the grown ups end up carrying these totes for their tots, you might as well look good while you’re doing it!
