I first noticed a lady at the mall carrying a
Coach wristlet a few years ago and she seemed so carefree. I loved that look and feeling so it's been worth it to me to get a few wristlets. Then of course I had too many

but have now weeded my wristlets down to five which I use either on their own with phone, cards and cash; as a passport pouch for the family (can clip it in my handbag); or as a make up bag.
Something else I've found handy are my Crossbody pouches using the wristlet strap. They have two zip compartments and I have been using my denim tearose patchwork one a lot this summer. I think she's already been to four dinners and I find her extremely spacious. I can fit in my car keys, and with careful packing, my sunglasses as well. Although this style comes with the Crossbody strap, sometimes I prefer the look (for certain events) of an elegant, dangling wristlet. Here it is again and you can just see the wristlet strap on the left.
