Wristlet
The Worry Free Wristlet I am one of
those people who would lose my head if it wasn’t attached. It’s a normal scene for me to be running around the
house, looking for my keys, my sunglasses or my purse before leaving the house and having to make at least one last
trip inside to retrieve whatever it was I forgot. Keeping track of these items once I’ve arrived at my destination
is a full time job in itself! Needless to say, the purse I carry is a messenger bag, large enough to hold half my
household and styled to drape across my body, making it next to impossible to lose.
I have always envied those women who seem to enter any establishment or arrive for any occasion with their
slim, little clutch bag in hand. They seem so put together and confident with
only their essentials tucked away in their tiny little pocketbooks. Out of curiosity I decided to look into these
sleek little handbags, wanting to join the club of confident women and test drive a small purse of my own. I
thought I’d hit gold when I came across the worry free wristlet.
Wristlets are a type of clutch bag that has a detachable strap that wraps around the wrist. This was perfect for
someone like myself who has a habit of laying something down and forgetting to retrieve it. I set my sights on
obtaining one of these wonderful creations for myself and settled in on my computer, searching the internet for
handbags.
I was amazed at the selection that lay before me and how easy it was to compare the different designers, prices and styles just by maneuvering between websites. I narrowed it
down to my favorite web stores of Vera Bradley, Marc Jacobs, Dooney and Bourke, Coach and Juicy Couture.
There are bags made from a variety of materials such as leather, suede, satin
and straw, each with their own different accents in polished gold and silver or rhinestones and beads. Some of my
favorites were the Metal Check Grovee Bag by Marc Jacobs, which emits a fun and youthful style, as well as the
Celeste fold over by Coach, which has a more sleek and elegant look to it. Another wristlet bag I found that really
caught my eye was a small straw clutch from the Hamptons Archive, which is also by Coach. My head was spinning from
all of the possibilities, so I decided to pick up where I left off at a later time, which is the beauty of shopping
online! I finally brought my choices down to the matter of
price. Although the Metal Check was my purse of choice, I knew it just wasn’t within my budget and so I chose a
Dooney and Bourke wristlet wallet for under $55. With a clutch that can also be used as a wallet, this was the
logical choice for me. However, when I someday make my millions and price is of no consequence, you can be sure I
will have a closet full of designer handbags with a multitude of wristlets. After all, money may solve many
problems, but I’m sure it wouldn’t cure me from forgetting my head if it wasn’t attached!
