This bag holds everything. including the kitchen sink (and a pair of shoes)

It's finally that time of year that is always the most stressful for college students– finals season. For me, this season is the time that I am not only stressed out, but am also most likely to embarrass myself. There is really nothing graceful about watching me lug around a bag full of library books through the unpredictable Boston weather. I've become pretty acquainted with the sidewalks in front of my classrooms because when you don't own snow boots, you spend a lot of time falling on ice.


Since it's my senior year, I thought it was about time to stock up on weather appropriate clothing. So I took the plunge and bought snow boots. And gloves. I thought I'd share my lazy day outfit for appearing put together during finals week, while still staying warm and bundled. (Note: there are no snow boots present, but it wasn't icy enough outside yet for me to trip. Just wait.)

The best part about this outfit is my bag, which I bought as a part of my stubborn refusal to wear a backpack. It's the Lo & Sons O.M.G. Bag , and it is honestly the best bag I have ever owned.

When I leave the house, I like to pack everything I own and also have room to return with souvenirs. But really, I think most students can relate to the fact that we are constantly carrying around a ton of stuff to campus in order to avoid the trek home to pick up things between classes.

This bag is large enough to hold all of my school supplies (i.e. my lucky pencil and my laptop) as well as daily necessities (wallet, Starbucks gold card, Starbucks Bottled Frappuccino, portable Starbucks employee... the usual), a change of clothes for sorority chapter, and there is even a special compartment for a pair of shoes. It helps me stay organized in style and keeps all of my stuff with me throughout the day so I don't spend time running walking back and forth to my apartment.

O.M.G actually stands for Overnight and Medium Gym Bag. I can attest to the fact that it also makes a great overnight bag and airplane carry on. No idea how it does as a gym bag. (And I don't plan to find out).
