Fickle


Finally got myself a backpack! Years of slouching over a keyboard for hours on end has taken its toll on my back so the only logical thing to do (according to the doctor) was to evenly distribute the weight I carry. So after much scouring I finally settled on this black canvas one from the men’s department. Except I’ve always found it hard to actually wear a backpack the way it was meant to be worn.. that kind of defeats the purpose, hah, but I’m trying :)

Oh and for those of you who commented on the lovely hot weather we’re having, well, no reason to be jealous just yet as we’re dealing with a fairly indecisive mother nature at the moment. My backpack looks bulky because there’s actually another sweater in it. So hard to keep up, but between being super busy at work and play I haven’t really found time to brood over the change too much.. hope you’re all having an awesome week. Christmas (and the holidays!!) are only two more weeks or so away! Can’t wait.

    I confess - I would carry mine just like yours if I had one. I spied a really nice one from Zara’s men department a couple of weeks ago but there was no reason for me to get but now that I think about it, I have got a reason - whenever I go on holiday - I always think I could do with a nice backpack instead of the old Lowe Alpine all singing, all dancing one which has been used to death and has been adopted by the Grumps anyway.

    And talk about fickle weather! Mind you, the cooler temperatures are sometimes a little easier to handle. We are forecasted snow here today. Brrrrr.

      we’re under 20c today so it’s almost like it’s winter again! i think men have the best backpack options, and it’ll look fine on the grumps too - i mostly find it weird when men carry their partners bags in public hehe. i still keep an all singing all dancing one tho - just in case.

    *she types while slouched over her own laptop* Yes, I am the worst when it comes to posture in the office and invested in a backpack about a year ago for the exact same reason, glad that departments are now stocked with some pretty decent looking ones! I love your simple black one and it goes brilliantly with outfit XX

    I’m so loving backpacks at the moment. For some reason I always have to lug SO MUCH crap everywhere with me! lol…and handbags are so inefficient for that! The black will go well with so many outfits :)
    p.s you look so great in jeans!

    I probably need a back pack as I have issues with my hips due to wearing heels and unevenly distributing my weight! Anyway, the new backback looks pretty cool, I’ve seen some nice ones in Country Rd and the Marc by Marc Jacobs ones on Shopbop are nice too if you ever look for alternatives. AND THOSE BOOTS! Gorgeous girl x

    I really liked backpacks but I’m wearing them the way you wear it. And that isn’t so good for the back, it’s true. But I don’t wear backpacks anymore, because I’m afraid that I could get robbed without even noticing it. I like to keep my bag in the front nowadays.

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      i know what you mean, i am the most paranoid! i would feel the same if i was in kuala lumpur (where i am from and used to live) but in sydney it’s okay to wear them at the back.

    Seriously, you can make anything look chic… even a backpack. Even better that you can carry everything plus the kitchen sink (and an extra sweater)! Glad you’re giving the back a rest though. And I’m so excited Christmas is almost here, but SO MUCH TO DO!!!!

    Ahhh! You have the Theory boots! I am so jealous, I’ve been lusting after those forever, they’re so perfect & they add such a sharpness to this causal look too! :)
    My posture is terrible as well, I guess it doesn’t help when you’re at a desk all day & then blogging afterwards too! Hah! I really want a backpack, I love the slouchy look & it’d be perfect for traveling too, but I have such a specific vision in mind of the kind I want & so obviously cannot find it anywhere! Typical!

    That’s a fabulous backpack! I would always wear them on one shoulder also (totally defeats the purpose, but it just looks cooler). hahahaha Great shoes!

    Ah yes… the bi-polar style weather. We are having it here too. Although the cooler weather is a bit more bearable. I love your relaxed look. So chic and comfortable.
