In all honestly, I never again considered donning a backpack after about grade 7, when, at my school at least, it became passé not to encourage future back and shoulder problems by turning in favour of shoulder slung school bags.
Until a few days ago, that is, when I purchased rollerblades as a means of exercise/amusement/transport to nearby areas (I’ve never truly trusted myself on a bike, despite how cute one can look on one, but have a decent enough background in figure skating to trust myself gliding about on blades). I can’t help but feel like I’m digressing to a younger self by blading around and considering carrying what I consider to mainly be used as book bags (not that I haven’t been partial to the thought when spotting a luxurious but practical leather number adorning a chic back).
I can’t fumble about with a side bag though, so I need something to sling over both shoulders that’s comfortable, cute, and practical.
Urban outfitters has two options that seem to fit the part, but I’m not sure exactly how “convertible” their convertible bags claim to be.
Ideally, these bags would work well either way to allow me two uses (a large plus on my budget), but I’m not sure if I trust it.
The options I’m considering (and I haven’t looked elsewhere, which is probably unwise) since I can’t afford a real leather bag at this point, and need something quickly…are the Deux Lux Messenger Backpack (top) or the Deux Lux Drawstring Bucket Bag (bottom) in black.
I’m buying tomorrow or the next day, as I would like to be blading before the real cold settles, so any quick recommendations or opinions are more than welcome.
