How would you style this dress? Including a largeish practical bag!

What would you wear with this dress? I've had it for a little while but never really felt I've got the overall look right. I love it though so want to find a way to style it. I need a big bag because of kids, and apparently carrying half my life around with me at any given moment.

Oh. I'm an idiot. I'm sure I put a link in!

Here is a picture, and hopefully a link - just in case!

Here's a link.

It's not really a dress that needs to be styled beyond putting it on and leaving the house. The model is wearing sneakers with it, which I think looks fine. If I owned it I'd wear ballet flats or flat Mary Janes picking up one of the colours in the dress or fisherman's sandals or these. Basically whatever flat shoe suits your taste and price range.
Flat canvas shoes

So far as a big bag, it's ubiquitous but a Longchamp Pliage.

I would wear it with simple brown or black flat sandals and a large brown or black suede slouchy tote bag.
in autumn /winter I would wear it with a black round neck slim fitting jumper and either boots or brogues.

Hi is it a midi or a bit shorter I can’t tell.
I’m not that keen on anything too prim so I’d wear it with a leather flip flops and a cloth tote but you could go in lots of directions eg sea salt sandals in tan or Birkenstocks Arizonas. I have a ubiquitous Longchamp bag but it’s heavily in rotation because it’s so practical. Mines in Pink Tea.

( I have the Studio Nicholson tote in Navy and this neutral colour )
