I realize this seems like a silly question, but I generally carry smaller shoulder bags or clutches. I just recently purchased a mid-sized "shopper tote" with longer straps (can fit over the shoulder) and a zip top. I am in love with the bag, but since I am not used to carrying anything like it, I am at a loss about how to wear it.

Anyone have photos of them wearing a similar bag? Blogs with pics? I know people carry bags like this all the time, but I somehow have trouble seeing it as a handbag and not... I don't know, a beach bag or something (despite it not being nearly that large nor having a summer colour/pattern).

I'm just looking for inspiration and enough confidence in a new style to rock this bag!
