a little background - I am looking for a large tote to use as an everyday bag. i know a tote is not the most stylesh option for everyday but i am a sahm and i always need to carry juice boxes, bottled water, workout clothes, etc. so i pretty much only carry regular smaller purses at night when i go out.
so i'd use this one as an everyday bag. my qs are:
a. do you like it b. is it stylish yet versatile (i.e. would it go with black boots as well as browns) c. would the straps be either too long or short d. is it worth the $ (at 50% off). e. should i get it or look for something better
I do like it. I think it could work with both blacks and browns. Let me take another look at hh and see if there's anything else that catches my eye...
ETA: I think you made the best choice. IMO olive goes with everything. I really like the zipper pulls on it too.

I have that bag in that color and while I do have some issues with it, I think for 50% off it is a great deal. I mainly use mine for travel and I find that the pockets are too deep and it is hard to get things out of, and the cross-body strap is really thin so when the bag is filled with heavy things the strap really digs into me and is sort of painful. The other straps are fine though.

thanks, cc! it's good to get a review from someone who owns it. i read another review about the pockets being too deep and i probably wouldn't use the longer strap much.
i just bought it - hope it wasn't a mistake. i paid $109 shipped. i just need a functional bag that will fit all of my kids crap in it - since i am always on the run with two toddlers, i've been looking for a good tote that's easy to get in and out of and goes with everything. hope this works! thanks again - sorry for the ramble.
