I don’t know about you, but one thing I have learned from Covid-19 is that I do not need as much as I thought I did previously. Personally, I have downsized my life in many ways. Like many of you, I was fearful at first when I needed to head out for errands. My first experience grocery shopping was terribly overwhelming. As weeks went by, I eventually adapted to the new way of heading out the door wearing a mask and gloves. Recently, I have started carrying a lighter bag to run my errands. Wearing hands free bags is not only convenient but also help eliminate the risk of contamination by not having to place your purse in a shopping cart.
Hands Free Bags
I no longer carry a heavy large purse. Half of the time, I really did not even use all the things I had put in my bag. I love my hands being free. And, I like the idea of a smaller bag while shopping or even out to grab dinner. I especially don’t want to think about germs attaching themselves to the bottom of my purse. Belt bags and cross-body bags are no longer a fashion statement, they are essential to the new way of living that we are all trying to figure out.

Belt Bags
I have found nice belt bags on Amazon and at Nordstrom Rack in reasonable price ranges. The fabrics are fun, some fancier while others are fine Italian leather with chains, and decorative embellishments.
Cross Body Bags
These are my favorite! I have also found that they are the most convenient as some types have a wallet attached. You can adjust the straps and wear it as a shoulder bag or tighten the straps and keep it close to the front of your body. I usually choose to wear a cross body bag low in front which makes it easy for my hands to reach into.
Sling Bag
Sling bags great when you need a little more room for your belongings, when heading outdoors they can carry a water bottle, hand sanitizer, and your cell. They are considered a combination backpack and shoulder bag.
There you go ladies, crossbody bags, and belt bags are not just fashionable purses as much as they are making life convenient.
Stay Healthy and Safe!
