Ok, so let's talk about belt bags, aka fanny packs. Thoughts?

I was such a hater for a while but have kind of changed my tune in recent weeks. Yes, this Gucci belt bag is the ultimate in chic fanny packs, but let's be serious.... the steep price tag is less than ideal. While I find this to be a trend (aka, short lived), it's one that I'm willing to try for its practicality. However, I'm more in the let's buy a cheap one to see how this goes mindset. So, I found a few options on Amazon (all under $30) and a couple

on Nordstrom that are all worth a shot. If I wear it once, it won't feel like a total waste of money. Shop my fanny pack picks here:
