Oh shoot, you move fast. Did Parson set you up with all that? Stressful, but really exciting. I saw Harris was looking for part-time work, maybe once you get help with the shop, you’ll have less stress on your plate?
Yes, I have just the thing: Kirkland Signature Mesh Shopper Bag. It has a zip top so nobody will see/jack your underwear. As far as brands go, LL Bean does nice ones. Generally you’ll want to go with totes from grocery stores and markets, like Trader Joe’s or that natural food market in Colchester, because you want a really thick bag that’ll stand up to wear and tear. The worst thing is when you’re walking around and your tote bag rips and your water bottle, wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses case, first aid kit, emergency sewing kit, pencil case, spare socks, travel-sized cologne, Aquaphor, Gun Oil H2O, and sudoku book fall out. Like great, lmfao.
I'm very organized! Also I will forget to do anything I don't do immediately while it's fresh in my brain. I wouldn't have known anything about any of it if it weren't for you and Parson, thank you! I'm going to hire Harris and see if that helps though, yes. I've been trying to do everything myself, but I'm going to try to learn to delegate for my own mental and physical health.
See? You know so much about this already. I want to learn from a master of totes. I feel like a whole new world of storage possibilities is opening up to me!
Delegation! 💪 And Harris is a good kid. Curious and very into books, I think he’ll be really helpful.
And oh yeah, once you get yourself a tote bag, you’re never going back to pockets. Although depending on the situation, you won’t want to put everything in your tote. For example, casual out and about, slap on a carabiner for your keys. Back belt loop if you want to say “I’m a reserved gentleman,” front belt loop if you’re trying to let the people know you’re a dog, but you can be tamed, if you know what I mean. It’s all about accessories.
I think so, too. He seems nice! Also, his mother is lovely.
Oooooh, I'm taking notes on all of this. I have SO much to learn! Carabiners have always looked very practical, but I wasn't sure if I could pull it off.
You can definitely pull it off, you have strong brows and that stubble thing going for you. But not with your Wes Anderson fits. […] Although maybe you could! I’d be interested in seeing it.
Are you intending on ditching the suits completely? Because keeping them but having other clothes to switch things up could be nice, too. Some days you might want to be a rugged Buck Mason mid-century writerman, other days you just gotta be a Wes Anderson shopkeeper.
That's very true! I don't think I'll get rid of them completely, just because I'll probably never own anything as fancy ever again. It would be nice to have choices, though!
Like, I would love to own a hoodie? I don't have a hoodie and they look so cozy.
[…] Should we get matching hoodies? Something obnoxious. […] Kidding about it being obnoxious not really but I’d be down to match with you. Like we can get matching Harvard hoodies to be obnoxious as a joke, haha.
