Am I missing some reasonable explanation for why someone would choose to wear a fanny pack over, say, a small crossbody? Like, I have a small crossbody on a thin strap that is big enough to hold just my phone, keys, a credit card. Why on earth would I want a fanny pack? I was just thinking this. Crossbody for life.

For myself, and the usage I’m picturing, the crossbody would swing and slide around a lot. The playground, for example. Lots of bending down, picking up, putting down, etc. with a honey badger 1 year old. Again, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this. That is my confession.

Also if any of you meet my husband, don’t mention that I told you all he hasn’t seen The Godfather. He doesn’t like people knowing that. He’ll nod along and fake it rather than admit to it. Why doesn't he just watch it then?? He just hasn’t been in the mood for the entirety of his life. I honestly think he will find it slow. I did show him goodfellas and he didn’t like it.

I am late to a lot of trends. I eventually caved on the hi-low hem, jeggings, cold shoulder tops, and contouring. But I can say with absolute certainty I will never embrace the fanny pack.

But only parts 1 and 2. I pretend 3 doesn’t exist. Just like X-Men It makes me sad everyday that X-Men movies aren't better. I mean, I'm going to watch them all, but still.

I bought a tan crossbody bag today. It's very similar to the old tan crossbody purse I'm replacing it with. Sensible crossbody bags for lyfe.

Or if you have shoulder issues. Or walking at a brisk pace.

I hate cross body bags. They just bounce against my hip and then slide to the back or front of me. I’d rather a backpack. But I’m living the fanny pack life for this summer at least.

I did not enjoy The Godfather movies.
(I’m not a big movie person though)

Gracious. I just had a dumbass attack. I was trying to say paleontologist to my coworker and couldn’t think of the word so I blurted out “dinosaur hunters!” Sounds way cooler on a resume in my opinion. No one has said "horse kittens" yet?!!
Horse kittens!!!

All the dudes in DS’s life are so overbearing with the Star Wars thing. He’s been getting SW related gifts since before he was born. It’s a good thing he’s at least mildly interested in it or there’d be a lot of disappointed guys.

Fanny packs are very in here and I've considered one. What I can't stand is the fanny pack over the shoulder,and I cringe every time I see it. Just wear a purse then mate.

adelbert I hate that. It looks so improperly fitting. Wear a crossbody backpack.

I wonder what in the diet causes some to leave skid marks in the toilet. It's jarring to me to say the least. I wonder this more often than I’d care to admit. It’s come up several times in threads like these.

I’ve waited a long time for summer to arrive, dammit. And now I get to wear tie dye again and rock a fanny pack? Icing on the cake.

I think my hips are too wide for a fanny pack. or maybe I'm not imagining it right. I'd want not to draw attention to that area, even though I love my hips.

My H has been thinking about wearing the one he had in 1991 that his parents kept. Getting him the 2018 version is an attempt to save him from some embarrassment.

I had a fanny pack that was shaped like a monkey when I was 11.
In 1999.
I was dreadfully cool.
