It never ceases to amaze me how working women can carry two bags with them everyday– their regular day bag *with all their things* and a smaller bag that they take with them to lunch or when they run errands during their work break. Meanwhile I just can’t be bothered to carry two bags– perhaps a smaller one that would fit into the larger one. If I had to do that, I’ll need to carry a regular bag with “wheels” (lol my carry-on luggage) because I always bring my “whole house” with me 😀 *I’m sure a lot of you can relate to me on this one hahaha*. Gosh I can’t imagine lugging around a carry- on luggage- style bag on a regular day. I just know I’ll look real stupid and be the butt of jokes of bystanders *muwahahaha!*
Now if you don’t carry an extra bag, the other way of doing it is to just bring out your wallet with you when going out to lunch/ doing that out-of-office errand. But how awkward not to have to carry a bag when you have to bring your phone as well. You could just end up losing your phone or worse, your wallet (or vice versa, whichever is more valuable to you haha). You’re lucky if you have back pockets on your trousers though but it does look funny when you have to stick your phone into that back pocket (it’s ok for guys, but for girls, hehehe… you end up having an uneven- looking butt *Butt- implant- job- went- wrong alert hahaha :D*)!
I was already browsing Nordstrom Online to check out their Anniversary Sale merchandise (woohoo Anniversary sale will start in a few hours after this post is published!) when I found the answer to this bag quandary.
The Case- Mate Kayla Wristlet Smartphone Case
!
Ok. It’s safe to say that I was first attracted to this because it’s in that leather- canvas combination, but it’s the function that really made this wristlet win me over.

| This is my pick! Ahh the blue… |
Oh and yes, because of the bright, bright colors too! 🙂 *A closer look*

| Also looove this color!!! |
I love the fact that this can be easily dumped into my abyss of a bag, and all I have to do when I need not carry my big bag is fish this one out from the big bag and use it as the alternative bag. Quite brilliant! *thumbs up sign*
It’s already a wallet, and hah, it fits the phone on its outer phone “compartment”! This wristlet’s not even considered a “want”. It’s unquestionably a “need!” I’m so willing to edit my wallet contents so that I can carry a lighter one (ahem, this one) which already has a provision for my phone, and can be carried out as a bag.
It’s all about compromise 🙂 Edit your bag so you can carry a 2nd bag/ wallet- wristlet, and edit wallet so you can fit contents into this wallet- wristlet instead of that old, about- to- burst wallet! And in the process, allow your hands or shoulders to rest– because your 1st bag has just become lighter 🙂
These wristlets are available at NORDSTROM ONLINE.
Oh and don’t forget about the Anniversary Sale in a few hours! Super important event that’s not to be missed! The sale will be incredible!!! (I already saw a very good bag for under US$150 *regularly priced at over $220!)
