A Thoughtful Style: What’s In My Bag?

October 13, 2014 by Courtney 18 Comments

Happy Monday, everyone! What a great fall weekend. We finally are experiencing cooler temps and enjoyed a weekend packed with soccer, birthday celebrations, block parties, and a few blog projects. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to travel. I was fortunate to travel to Germany by myself when I was a freshman in high school. I spent a summer over there with what would become dear family friends of ours. Ever since that summer, a part of me is always wanting to pack a bag and see what’s out there. I was super excited when Sole Society contacted me about a weekender bag. With two small children, my husband and I can usually only get away for a night or two when we sneak off. I think I picked the perfect bag for our next weekend away. solesocietystreet solesocietyovernight So what’s in my bag when I travel? Almost always the same items! I pack a large scarf {big enough to keep me warm like a blanket on the airplane}, an easy to pack dress, a great pair of heels for going out at night, a new book, a little bit of arm candy, a comfy cardigan, and a second pair of jeans. Does any of that sound familiar? I have found that the scarf and accessories are the biggest key to keeping my bag light and my outfits pulled together. solesocietyjewelry mason bag | ring | leather bracelet | chainlink bracelet | jeans | cardigan solesocietybag I am head over heels for these booties. They are so crazy comfortable and the little gold detail makes them stand out from the crowd. I also appreciate how soft they are. The weekender bag had me at striped lining and separate zippered compartment. I agree with the reviews that the bag needs to air our for a bit. solesocietyathoughtfulplace mason bag | booties  | boyfriend jeans | cardigan I really am smitten with my new bag. The zippered bottom section really sets it apart. I am just so excited that my shoes will no longer need to be mixed in with my clothes! That’s a genius design move. Now I just need to plan my next trip! So what’s in your bag when you travel?

    Love the striped interior and separate section for shoes. I was not familiar with this company and checked out their website. So many cute things at good prices plus many of their shoes come in small sizes, a big issue for me.

      Yes! Me too! It has me wondering why more bags aren't designed this way. Have a great day!

    You look adorable and ready for a weekend getaway! I think you need another trip up to the SF Bay Area, Marin and Napa! 🙂 Cute bag! Love the cognac color with the stripes.

    Cute bag, looks roomy enough to fit a few outfits and some beauty products for a night away from home. Love the pink cardigan.

      Yes! It's a great size for a little getaway. So nice to not have to take the darn black roller bag! Hope you're having a great week.

    Love the whole look and you look so stylish for fall. I just tried your links to Nordstroms but they didn't take me to those items. The ruched leggings took me to swim suits, bummed. Thanks
