Since I received this bag I've used it every day for work and I adore it. I haven't put a laptop in it yet but most mornings it has all the basic purse things, my e-reader, my large over-ear headphones case, my lunch, and often some random things for my toddler like diapers and snacks stashed in there too. You can really fill this up and it takes it like a champ! The outer drink slot holds my travel mug wonderfully as well. It's comfy as a cross-body messenger bag sort of style, that's how I most often wear it. And it gets tons of compliments on the adorable style that I think is nice enough to look semi-professional but still cute enough to feel like it's my own style. Would absolutely buy again and I will (and have!) recommend(ed) it to others as an everyday work option.
