Pros and cons: Local blogger talks about the best bags to take to Summerfest



MILWAUKEE -- When you're rocking out to the music at Summerfest, the last thing you want to worry about is your bag. Local blogger Lauren Sturycz joins Real Milwaukee with the pros and cons of different purses -- and the essentials you should pack inside.

1. Clutch:
Pros:


    Cons:


      2. Wristlet:
      Pros:


        Cons:


          *The Pretty Broke Blonde Style Tip:
          - Now, they make wristlets and clutches that have smart phone chargers IN them! No worries about your phone dying during a fun snapchat video anymore!*

          3. Crossbody:
          Pros:
          -HANDS FREE


            Cons:


              Option 1: "I'm going to see a performer in the Marcus Amphitheater and then I'm going home. I don't need much."

              ALL THREE PURSE OPTIONS WORK WELL FOR THIS

              Checklist:
              -Tickets (try and pull them up on your phone if you can)
              -Cards/Cash
              -Phone (NO CAMERA, it's way too clunky to carry and if you have a smartphone, you're good to go!)
              -Lipstick/gloss for makeup touchups
              -Hand sanitizer
              -Travel size sanitation wipes

              Option 2: "I'm going to Summerfest multiple times to walk around with friends enjoying the food, drinks, music, etc. with no specific plans. We might go out downtown later as well."

              Checklist:
              -Pepper spray
              -Hand sanitizer
              -Travel Sanitation Wipes
              -Travel Deodorant
              -Lipstick/Gloss for makeup touchups
              -Portable charger (being around that many people with service, it can be hard to get a signal and also drain your phone battery faster)
              -Cards/Cash (what I like to do is hide a certain dollar amount like a $20 in case you need a cab or something and you don't accidentally spend it)

              Option 3: "I have certain artists I'd like to see on the free stages and I will be in the middle of the crowds to enjoy the concert."
