I love to look so don't apologize. I have gone from carrying a large bag to just carring a small one that loops over the head and can be worn on the side. Finally figured out I can do without all that stuff I thought I couldn't. Actually I think it was the fact I had shoulder surgery so I couldn't carry anything on the one arm and I needed the other free to shop so I went with the smaller one. I think it is a good idea. A friend of mine actually made me a small quilted purse for that purpose.
