Thank you for all your responses to last week’s post about the weight loss issue. I was relieved to know that I wasn’t the only one who felt what I felt, and I realized that I should give it more time. I hid my scale from myself, so I won’t have to worry about being tempted to jump on and check my weight. Having done that, I’m less worried and enjoying working out more. In fact, I’m attending my first Cross Fit intro class tomorrow morning. I’m excited!
While I was still pregnant, I searched for the perfect baby bag. I kind of liked this nylon baby bag by Marc by Marc Jacobs, but I could not bring myself to spend over $500 on bag made out of nylon. It was also heavier than I expected. I continued my search, but ended up not getting any baby bags. I came to the conclusion that I like leather handbags too much and do not want to carry baby bag that looks too momsy. My friend kindly gave me this diaper bag by Tsumori Chisato, and I put everything I need for the baby in it, and I carry that bag inside my leather handbag.
In the diaper bag (from top left, clockwise): 1. nursing cape, extra formula just in case, diaper wipes, three extra diapers, a plastic bag for dirty clothes, hat, headband, sun screen, one extra onesie and two extra bibs.
Besides the diaper bag, I have in my bag an iPod shuffle, wallet (seriously need a new one! I’ve been using this wallet since I was 19. I’m eyeing this orange Tory Burch one for a while), keys, pen, a note pad to jot down some ideas for new designs, and iPhone (can’t live without it now!). I just realized that I don’t carry any make-up with me. After putting makeup on in the morning, I don’t really re-touch it afterwards.
Wearing: H&M bustier top, self-made skirt (pattern is available here), thrifted sandals for 50 yen (about 60 cents!), and Bally bag.
What’s in your baby/diaper bag? Did you get anything special once you become a mom?
