Like browsing at a store, no problem. Carrying something bulky in front of you with the wristlet hanging down is also no problem.&nbsp;Handling something like&nbsp;multiple grocery bags that you put on your wrist/arm also that bump up against it is more of a problem, and I usually just end up tucking it in one of the bags.</p> <p>But I also don't like full size purses. My "purses" tend to be big enough for laptops, so that if I need to do computer work somewhere other than at home, I can.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pretty-wallet-i-bought#post-1296154 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 23:08:21 +0000 rabbit 1296154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! &nbsp;I haven't tried a wristlet before, do you find you can use your hands when carrying one? &nbsp;Like could you shop with one, or would it basically need to be in a shopping basket or cart? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pretty-wallet-i-bought#post-1296144 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 22:52:37 +0000 Heather 1296144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm the type of person who carries a wristlet wallet&nbsp;around with me EVERYWHERE, most of the time without a purse. The problem is that my latest workhorse has died, really. The edges have frayed; there are holes in the bottom, and it was looking decidedly unpolished.&nbsp;</p> <p>And so,&nbsp;I decided that it was time to actually get something that might last longer than a month or two before it has holes in it, but that would fit everything.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is my pretty new Kate Spade wallet. It it was on sale PLUS another 25% off; it holds everything I want it to, and it's quite gorgeous in person.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
