Christina "Fanny Pack" Larue

 

The past events of this weekend inspired me to do a little blurb on fanny packs. Stylish or not? I think when most people think of fanny packs they think of  leather, bulky 1980's fannies.  Now 20 years later big designer names such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel are making sleek fanny packs for all. I believe that with the right outfit a fanny pack can look chic and practical! 

Now if you are like me or Christina Larussa and can't afford the Chanel or LV, there is always a solution. You can grab an old clutch bag and add a strap to it. A great strap idea is an old belt. It is sturdy and can be adjusted to fit all different hips. You can attach the clutch by looping it through the inside of the clutch and sewing the belt to the material inside. 

Two cheap options both from Urban Outfitters
