LOL, Denise, it sounds like you are already comfortable with the function and the fashion of the fanny pack, so go for it! It does look really cute on you!
I looked at the photos again, and my favorite items are still the snake print booties and the grey tunic. The grey tunic with that black vest is amazing!
You're so sweet, too. I'm OK with my breeder hips (I mean, what else can I do but accept them, they're not going anywhere!). I think we actually have fairly similar proportions, mine are just a little bigger all over. I share the short-waisted issue as well, but really, in your photo with the waist bag, I don't notice any short-waistedness, so obviously you know how to wear it well!
Oh, and by the way, those shorts look pretty terrific on you.
