Bag-tastic: It's in the Bag



When it comes to Court's preferences as to the ideal bag, there's only one rule: 


BIGGER = better!!


Now we don't discriminate  We love a nice clutch, and envelope bags are exquisite, but a huge monster that can conceal a pair of jeans is completely, utterly, absolutely, magnificently, and Tote-ally Bag-tastic! Yeah, we know that these behemoths of the bag world have no place on a date because they can send out the wrong message: I have baggage, I'm high maintenance therefore I need to take my things with me, this is an overnight bag, etc. And yeah, we know doctors and experts  tell us not to carry big bags because they tend to get heavy and hurt our backs, but I like to think of it as a personal challenge. Like an all day weight training extravaganza.  My biceps and triceps will thank me during bathing suit season.  (I like to keep a brick and phone-book in mine . . . you never know when you may need them.) Who cares what others may think of a big bag. It's fabulous and it carries almost anything. I need a bag so big that I can fit my kitchen sink in it. So big, that if there were a flood, all I'd need to do is pull out an oar from one of its many pockets, hop in its comfy silk lining, and paddle my way to safety.




This is a bag that I had the good sense to yank out of Court's closet before anyone else got there mitts on it . . . and I love it!!! (I bet my 3 month old can fit inside of it). 

So here's an ode to big bags (and there lovers) every where: "Throw it in the Bag"
