Here I am in my already-beloved Vionic loafers (I definitely need a second pair!) and the Wit and Wisdom utility pants from Angie's blog, plus the now almost ubiquitous pink denim jacket -- off to take my cat to the vet for his arthritis shot.

These pants are very light weight cotton. This is a "stovepipe" wide leg, not flared at the bottom. I tend to prefer the A line versions of wide legs, but I like these, too. These are a false plain. It's hard to see, but there is a fun pocket detail of stripes going in a different direction. These pants have a ton of pockets -- great for gardeners!

Now for the bag question: In the past few years, I had grown accustomed to carrying mostly small (ish) crossbody bags. Very convenient because they fit in my bike panniers easily, were lightweight, easy to travel with, etc.

However, since my injury, I am finding ANY crossbody bag considerably less comfortable than it used to be. It doesn't matter which shoulder I use the strap on, really. The discomfort is the same. Backpacks are also a challenge, though I can manage for a short distance.

This may or may not be a permanent change - it depends how I adapt to my new bionic part. In the meantime, the bag I am using most consistently and with the greatest comfort is this older Coach shoulder bag. (It also works as a crossbody with a strap, but I am not using it that way at the moment.)

It seems counterintuitive that a shoulder bag woudl work better, but it seems to -- I can mostly carry it on the non-injured shoulder, for one thing.

I would like to get a white or cream bag that is similar. Can anyone point me to one, ideally with silver hardware? I am sure they must exist...

Thanks for looking and any help you might provide!
