I hold it or put it in my bag, depending on how much "stuff" I already have in it.

Skylurker, can you post a find for an escort boy? I might need one.

When I'm walking around town, I usually have my trusty wicker cart that holds EVERYTHING--shopping, handbag, extra layers. In the mountains, we go places by car, so the car becomes the hold-all. But abroad, traveling by public transportation, a jacket ends up on my shoulders, or draped over my cross-body bag--and slipping to the ground, again and again. So in that situation, I share your frustration!

My husband is often my escort man-boy doesn't work at our age lol.
If we're together and I'm slower than him, he'll often offer to carry whatever I have.

If I'm too hot to wear something, I'm too hot to have it over my shoulders. I guess that part of me runs hotter than my backside, so around my waist or purse it is. I like the idea of finding a way of attaching things to my purse or even to keep them from sliding off my waist if they are slippery. And I'm going to look at the bags that have been mentioned.
I do put things in my purse or bag if there is room.

UmmLila : you're hilarious. But, come on, you don't want YLF raided by the vice squad, do you?
