I'm used to wearing a shoulder bag across my body with the strap against my left shoulder, and the bag landing above the front section of my right hip. I've been doing this for 4 years, and have gotten accustomed to it.

With this bag, it needs to be worn specifically in reverse of what I'm used to; against my right shoulder with my bag landing against my rear left hip, closer to my rump.

I'm still in the process of getting used to wearing it like this, but the quality so far has been good. Strong, lightweight material, and a very roomy interior. However, the water-bottle mesh pocket only will hold a 16.9 oz. sized bottle comfortably, so take that into consideration if you were planning on using that.

What I usually carry in my bag, and this holds it all with room to spare

* cell phone (side pocket)
* wallet (larger section)
* planner, 5x7 size (larger section)
* moleskin notebook (larger section)
* keys (shoulder strap)
* 2 pairs of socks, since I wear sandals more often than not, and sometimes go bowling, and in case my daughter is invited to a birthday party where socks are required (larger section)
* small container of hair elastics/clips/pocket comb (front pocket)
* cosmetics, lip gloss, eyeliner, eyeshadow (front pocket)
* 2 pens, 2 pencils, 16 pack of crayons, eraser, sharpener (zippered front section of front pocket)
* reusable grocery bag (larger section)

So this bag does hold it all, with room to spare. Definitely recommended.
