While we were out, we stopped to do some necessary shopping, but then I was stuck carrying around hardware pieces all day. I find this is a common problem in the city which tends to bring out the MacGyver in me. With a quick slip, clip and a clasp, I’m good to go again, turning my purse into a mule more than a fashion accessory.</p>http://www.thewaywecarry.com/post/18136954722http://www.thewaywecarry.com/post/18136954722Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:00:06 -0500shoulder<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzrgqaiqXw1qaymk8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Probably the most baller way to carry around your golden retriever.

I love how the ‘bag’ becomes apart of you, and together you create a self sufficient unit.  I’m always amazed how quickly I adapt to being able to live without ‘things’. Makes me wonder what I don’t actually need in my everyday life…</p>http://www.thewaywecarry.com/post/15781662872http://www.thewaywecarry.com/post/15781662872Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:00:05 -0500back
