I love seeing everyone’s wallet style. :-)</p> <p>I think I finally have all high-visibility items in my bag now. The first photo is my three eyeglass cases (I only carry one or two at a time — sunglasses and regular glasses). The second photo is my random card pouch; my catchall bag for necessities like tissue, lip balm, gum, nail file, mask, etc.; and my new wallet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness/page/2#post-2278593 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 05:12:35 +0000 Zaeobi 2278593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, bright wallets are a must for me - glasses cases as well, for the same reason. Both of mine are bright orange - though my wallet is also more a cardholder these days. </p> <p>ETA: This is my separate coin purse. A little tongue in cheek perhaps, but it makes me happy pulling it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278467 Wed, 24 Aug 2022 12:04:34 +0000 Helena 2278467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snort-laughed at Costanza level lol!</p> <p>Love this and I agree ...

Totally with you on the wallet being a critical accessory. I have to have the exact type or I'm all out of sorts. And I want it to be pretty, and feel good.</p> <p>I was given a Coach wallet by my then-boss many years ago. I still have it in a drawer, it has sentimental value. I wore it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278300 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 15:35:09 +0000 Anonymous 2278300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278280 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 13:03:45 +0000 ANewMindset 2278280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I want a new wallet that sparks joy!

Your new wallet is beautiful - and just blingy enough </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278198 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 21:53:55 +0000 Roberta 2278198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even when I traded in my beloved Fossil bifold for a fun little card case (polka dots!), I still kept the Fossil wallet in a drawer. I couldn't bear the thought of discarding it. It was Goldilocks wallet for many happy years. I loved its predecessor too - a Fossil checkbook wallet that I carried for a decade or more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278074 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 13:23:39 +0000 Bijou 2278074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! It is so worth having a good wallet - something that you use most days. I love my wallet for obvious reasons! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278068 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 12:55:20 +0000 cjh 2278068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Beautiful! You are so right about having those little things that likely no one ever sees, just waiting to provide such pleasure. I feel exactly the same about my wallet. It’s purple leather with red leather inside. Every time I handle it, I’m so glad I bought it years ago at a nice leather shop on vacation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278063 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 12:30:40 +0000 RobinF 2278063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah the perfect wallet can make me so happy. I am about due for a new one. I only carry a wallet and large tote bag to work and need the wallet to fit my phone. But really don't need a lot of card slots. I might have to rethink my requirements.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278057 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 11:01:16 +0000 merwoman 2278057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scrolling back up to check out the table…yes, your artist’s eye would see these details. And now I’ve got a long for doughnuts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278055 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:22:10 +0000 Janet 2278055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! Just a little thing I thought to share. Yes, I love these semi-hidden elements of style that make your day feel nicer! I remember balking for a moment paying more for my old wallet than I’d ever paid for one before, even though it was on sale, but now when I think of CPW, it was a total bargain. I know that older, cheaper wallets I’ve had in the past have not lasted nearly as long.</p> <p>I was surprised at how prevalent large wallets still are at retail. Like, who carries around a checkbook anymore? As many of you have noted, most people seem to be carrying fewer cards, not more. I have a separate little zip pouch that holds random coupons or membership cards, insurance cards, etc.<br /> I’ve started using that instead of stuffing them into my nice streamlined wallet. </p> <p>I had to laugh a little taking the pic. I was waiting for our dozen order at a local donut shop — we were going for a celebration lunch for my stepson’s wife’s birthday and she loves donuts! (The smell of hot fresh donuts in my car was heavenly as I drove to meet the group.) I liked the play of patterns of my bag and the retro table top with the wallet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278037 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 01:16:32 +0000 Indigoprint 2278037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the right tool for the job makes all the difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278036 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 01:14:11 +0000 Jaime 2278036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally get this.

An relate to a dark wallet getting lost in a dark handbag. &nbsp; Yea Origen is orange floral, but it is a bit too big. &nbsp;It is time to look for a bright one that is the right size.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278014 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 20:41:38 +0000 MsMaven 2278014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The right wallet is important to me as well. Glad you found this. I remember that it took me a long time to find my current wallet. Did a lot of shopping. I don't remember how long I've had it, but yours reminds me of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aha! I went and checked and mine is also a Hobo. You will enjoy yours for many years, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278012 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 20:30:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2278012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet!<br /> I can so relate. I quit using my card holder because it was too grubby even for me, and also fairly big. My smallest purses have card slots, but when I carry bigger bags instead, the cards &amp; cash need a home. I’m torn between a cobalt blue card holder from Fossil and a folio case for my phone with card slots and maybe a little pad of paper. In the meantime, I’m clutching things in my hands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278011 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 20:13:31 +0000 Suz 2278011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely agree that quality small leather goods give a lot of pleasure for their size! Beautiful wallet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2278001 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:29:58 +0000 Aquamarine 2278001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When/if I update my wallet, I too will go for something bright or bling-y, the better to find it in my handbag.</p> <p>However, Lisa brings up a good point…when the pandemic hit and we were all carrying as little as possible, I transferred my debit and license and some small cash to a tiny Vera Bradley fabric zip wallet that someone had gifted my daughter a long time ago. It’s totally not my style but I haven’t been in any great rush to go back to my heavier leather wallet, nor have I found I needed all those cards I used to carry with me constantly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2277998 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:23:58 +0000 SarahD8 2277998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! That wallet is very "you"!</p> <p>I can relate to the satisfaction &amp; enjoyment of small but frequently used items. There is this home decor YouTuber I have been watching and she is obsessed with vintage glassware/barware -- she talks about how your plates, cups, etc. are the parts of your home decor that you interact with most intimately and frequently, handling them multiple times a day, etc. So her theory is that they should really bring you pleasure! It seems to me that a wallet is a wardrobe analogue of that concept.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hmm. Now I want to replace my seen-better-days wallet that honestly I never loved that much in the first place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2277993 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:12:54 +0000 LJP 2277993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty ! I’m all for little hidden pleasures . About wallets : I don’t even use mine anymore . I now just use a card holder that has room for abt 4 cards , my drivers license and birth certificate . It’s amazing how easy it was to adapt to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-update-happiness#post-2277990 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:09:39 +0000 rachylou 2277990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! The right wallet is definitely satisfying (and sometimes can be quite the project - hello phone wallet!). I’ve always liked Hobo, must say. </p>
