Fashion bloggers and vloggers do these kinds of things all the time - "what's in my purse?" posts/videos. I figured this may be long past due (or maybe I just wanted to feel cool enough to do one of these posts) - a list of all the stuff I lug around with me in my ginormous dance bag!

Sorry for yet another horrible photo today. |

In the main compartment:
- shoes that I randomly throw in
- sweat towel
- purple yoga band (basically a canvas strap that I use for stretching and shoulder exercises)
- bouncy ball/compact yarn ball (that I use for massaging instead of a tennis ball)
- No Fixed Points (bad idea - it's really heavy. I think I'll take it out...)
- journal of notes/choreography ideas
- jacket
- tissues
- water bottle
- nut mix
- change of clothes (leotard/tights/shorts/sports bra or street clothes)
- purse (I'll throw it in here when I go to dance)
- Flip camera
- ankle warmers (I cut a pair of leggings that I didn't like, hemmed them, and scrunch them up on my ankles to warm them)
In side pocket #1 (for shoes - in the photo, the one that isn't half open):
- ballet shoes
- pointe shoes/toe pads
- black jazz shoes
- tan jazz shoes
- spinning socks (half socks)
- foot thongs
- extra pair of shorts (if I remember)
In side pocket #2 (the one that is half open in the photo):
- band aids/blister band aids
- extra womanly things
- deodorant
- ankle brace
- knee brace
In front pocket:
- 3 or more hair ties and 6 or more hair clips
- bun accessories (hair net, bobby pins, bun scrunchie that I crocheted)
- foot tape (talked about it here)
- toe tape (paper tape)
- first aid kit (band aids, Neosporin)
- inhaler
- loose cotton
- random assortment of necklaces and earrings that I throw in
- rubberized headbands (short hair must-have)
In the mesh side pockets:
- sewing kit
- collapsible hairbrush/compact mirror
- decorative pins
- more tissues
- aloe vera lotion
Keychains that adorn my bag (I love keychains - I collect them :):
- a blue cloth "D" that one of my students gave me as a thank you gift
- a black pointe shoe
- graduation cap
- a "New York" big apple keychain
- small waterproof watch
- luggage tag (I used my dance bag as a carry-on when going to auditions)
Update: In slight response to a comment I got, here's the bag:
1. Where did you buy this bag?
ReplyDelete2. "extra womanly things" lol Daisy I <3 you =P
1. Target. This bag is by Reebok (comes in bright pink and black). I think it was about $20, and it's lasted me for a year so far, including 4-5 plane trips!
ReplyDelete2. I think I know you. <3
