So I’ve had a “real job” for the past 19 years (OMG, has it really been that long?)  On my way into the office, I always have my purse and a travel mug full of coffee. Most days, I also have a lunch bag containing breakfast and lunch.  On top of that, there’s often something else random I need to carry in – an umbrella because it’s raining, a box of tissues, Girl Scout cookies, etc.  I’m sure it’s usually quite a comical sight – me trying to carry it all, open doors and fish out my key fob for the office door.

Enter, the work bag.  A giant tote bag that most of those things can get crammed into and carried in from the parking lot. All in one bag.  I hosted a thirty-one party last month, and this was one of my hostess incentives.  It’s a Lakeside Tote with my initial monogrammed onto it.  And the bright summery colors make me smile every morning on my way to work. Perfection!

I don’t know how I missed out on this concept before. I’ve heard other people talk about their work bag and have noticed lots of female co-workers carrying their stuff in one. But for some reason I never had one before.  So glad I finally figured out this concept!
