Messenger

I never actually owned a daily, day to day bag. Every time I'm on a vacation, especially in a four seasons country, i will be decked with layers of clothes and necessities. 

I always need my mufflers, mittens, shades, scarf, small packs of kleenex (my nose keeps running, ALL the time!hence for hygiene sake i need them; Don't Laugh!) a trusty bottle of water and the list goes on. 

I need a bag to put all these in. 

Thus i would always dump them into my mom's bag, but it will always be a hassle when you need them ASAP. My mom would always tell me

 "you know what you need? A MANBAG!" 

errrrr...hahah one thing's for sure, i'm not a big fan of man-bags. 

So that's out of the question. 

What kinda bag suits a guy on a day to day basis?

A backpack?

..hmm it crumples my outfits! 

Can't wear a dress shirt and carry a back pack can't i?

How about a sling over @ messenger bag?

i always admired men who can pull of a sling so well. They nestle so well on them and it doesn't look odd or weird. I've tried a few messenger bags in the past but i always look horrid with them. Maybe because i'm short in height in and i was too "stouty"?

As the beginning of my term in Edinburgh draws closer and of course now i'm gonna be permanently living in a 4 seasons country for the next, at least 3 years *fingerscrossed*

 i reckon it would be a wise move to invest in a proper bag i could chuck my files, books and notes in, and yet would serve me well on a cold and wet day.

Hence, this guy comes into the picture;

meet my new messenger bag. 

i say i'm all geared up for any season. 

Are you?
