What's in my Bag: Minimal Edition

I'm falling prey to my old habits: beginning posts and letting my mind drift away to the point that it takes months for me to get a thought up. But I've found a solution - short posts to get me in the spirit, long posts when my heart is really in it. So here's today's short post - what's in my bag.

Even though it's done and done and, you guessed it, done again, I always seem to enjoy a brief glimpse into someone's bag. I'm usually a crazy hoarder in my bags - numerous metro cards, receipts, five lipsticks, a handful of bobby pins, a mess of used kleenex (it's allergy season, don't judge). But this week I switched to using a new bag, which led me to pare down the contents. An empty table at work beckoned to me and I spilled the contents and arranged them to fit in the frame.

The bag is a Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C (a lovely birthday gift from my bosses) and here's what's in it:

• The ID card that lets me into Conde Nast everyday
• A metro card, used mainly when it's raining
• Sunglasses from Forever 21, essential for my morning walk to work
• Dr. Hauschka lipstick in Pink Topaz
• My trusty iPod, necessary for my walks to and from work 
• Kleenex (see above)
• My keys and cards, featuring my out of date student ID

Not pictured: the iPhone I used to take this picture and the cardigan I stuffed in so I wouldn't freeze at work...and the other lipstick I just found while digging around in the bag (I knew I couldn't have just one on me).

So there it is, a short post, a snapshot of life, and hopefully a ticket to getting me back on track.
