My sister recently donated her hair to Patene Beautiful Lengths and now that she has a great cut and style she's wearing her hair down more and that means less earring and stepping up the necklace game. So today's post features some fantastic statement and longer necklaces that will work with a great shorter cut.
There is something really good happening with this necklace. Through a partnership with the nonprofit organization Chrysalis, The Giving Keys employs individuals who are transitioning out of homelessness, providing opportunities for them to move to permanent housing.
Hey everyone! It’s Sara, Kelsey’s younger sister. Today,
we’re talking about the adult backpack. I work at Temple University as an
Academic Advisor and Adjunct Instructor. Because I work in higher education, I
am constantly carrying about 30lbs of notebooks, textbooks, papers, snacks, etc.
across North Philadelphia (although let’s be honest, it’s mostly snacks).
Because of this, my once beautiful Michael Kors tote has now waved its white
flag.
After my mourning period and wearing black for about a week,
I’ve decided that it’s time to start thinking about a new bag (*tear*).
Usually, I carry a large purse or tote bag around campus. One of the most
appealing aspects of carrying a tote, for me, is that it helps differentiate
myself from the students. If you know me, you probably already know that I look
like I’m 12. I’m always getting asked where I’m applying for college or what
courses I’m taking….I’m 27. That’s why I was reluctant to transition to a
backpack because I didn’t want to give everyone on campus another reason to
think I’m a student.But…the totes just
aren’t cutting it. Below you will find some adult alternatives to your once
faved monogrammed, LL Bean backpack. Happy lugging!
Fair labor, environmental responsibility, ergonomic design,
waterproof fabric, laptop pouch, what’s not to love!? Alternatively, if you’re
more of a Herschel girl, here’sa similar design with a smaller carrying capacity.
Leather for when you really want to feel like an adult.
Cons-not waterproof, potentially not as durable as some of the other models but
it’s Really PRETTY!
More Herschel love—this pack offers the perfect combination
of durability/versatility, while still adulting. Padded laptop sleeve and two
external pockets to stuff all of those pens and keys (and snacks!!)
