I use wristlets for organizing all the stuff I "need" to have with me too. One is for the pills, nail stuff, hand cream, things of that sort and the other is for my little tape measure, scissors, knife, Sharpie etc. I don't necessarily carry it all with me but I'll take it with me in a Coach (of course) duffle bag in the car. Makes it so easy to change purses or to just not lug it all with me every step of the way.

I use a wristlet for the same type of things in the console of the car so it's not a mess too. I just love seeing them if nothing else.

For a while, I used my wristlet in place of my wallet but I can't stand doing that anymore as everything seems so unorganized. Now, I mainly use it as a clutch or to hold "must have" items (keys, gum, credit cards, id) when I am out and do not want to carry a purse.

I use my regular wristlets as wallets, I can hold my ID and cards plus some cash and my building access card for work in one wristlet, I use a second wristlet for less essential stuff like coupons. Then I use a capacity wristlet for checkbook, pen, receipts, etc. It keeps me organized and then when it's raining and I don't want to carry my purse out in the rain, lol, I just grab my wristlet, of course I still shelter that from the rain but it's easier than putting the whole bag under my shirt. At work I can take my wristlet downstairs to lunch and then I have my card to get back into my office. I love that I can put the strap around my wrist and not have to carry it in my pocket. On the weekends I just throw my main wristlet, phone and keys into a diaper bag and I'm good to go.

Lots of other great ideas, too, I might just have to get another wristlet or two and try them out.

I use a black 07' leather legacy wristlet for cash & coin in the main compartment and it also has a front small slip pocket for ID etc.
I use an 08' legacy wristlet (in gray) as my cosmetic case (even though I have a million cosmetic cases.)
I also use one khaki/crimson signature stripe wristlet for any and all USPS tracking info and all Coach receipts and tags.
My ipod nano and earbuds also fit nicely in the regular sized wristlets, beyond that I don't have any further idea's.

One thing you may want to do is have a "girly survival kit" in one. This would include a small sewing kit for loose buttons, an eyeglass repair kit and a small all purpose pocket knife that has scissors, nail file etc.

Good Luck!!!

I only use them when I go out, like to bars or parties. That way, I don't have to haul my entire purse and worry about losing it, getting it dirty, etc. I usually fit my ID, chapstick, mascara, eye liner, cell phone, and credit card or cash in mine, although with my big one I can also fit my smaller camera in too!

I have 3 capacity wristlets and a couple of normal sized ones. Currently I only use them when I go to the movies or anywhere I do not want to bring a big purse. I should be using them also in my bags for organization but I'd rather use my cosmetics case for that. So, I'm not going to buy anymore wristlets. I love the ones I do have. A black pebbled leather one, a denim siggie one, and a wine leather one.

I put all the "necessities" in my capacity wristlet so I can easily swap bags without forgetting things like my license and iPod. I have 2 capacity wristlets, a signature/mahogany Hamptons, and a gray (petrol?) Zoe.

I keep my mini skinny (with $$, cards, license), car keys, iPod touch, headphones, concealer pen, and eye liner in my wristlet. They make it easy to keep my purses organized! I don't know what I'd do without them!

Edit: Also, wristlets are great for carrying "girly items" during that time of the month. You don't have to worry about things opening in the bottom of your purse or falling out of your bag!

I have Coach wallets but I still use my wristlets as a wallet sometimes. Like today, I had my cash, cards, and change in it. When I went to starbucks this morning I left my purse in my car and just took my wristlet &keys.

i bought my wristlets primarily for when i'm going clubbing with my friends, but i also use it when i'm going out for a bite to eat with friends and don't want to carry my purse or just my wallet. i also use it to hold my phone and keys when i'm heading over to a friend's house to hang out.
