the specs

i think a good wallet for me must possess these following qualities (not in any particular order of importance):

1) durability so that i don’t have to be too cautious of it getting scratched up when it’s banging around in my purses along with my keys, ipod, and pointy tubed l’occitane lotion. a five year life span would be great.
2) good style or design
3) hot color (a nice red would be great)
4) at least two pockets, one for the benjamins, the other for receipts. these pockets can’t be too deep either.
5) a coin pocket with a button closure (it would be AWESOME if the coin pocket is divided too so that i can separate my silver coins from my pennies. hahahaha)
6) a minimum of 6 credit card slots or at least enough room somewhere else in the wallet so i can bunch them up. i actually don’t carry that many credit cards, but i do have a lot of plastic (i.e. gift cards that i always carry with me just in case of accidental shopping).
7) a compact design to fit in any of my existing purses without major fit issues
8) IT MUST BE A ONE STOP SHOP. everything i need should just fit into this one wallet so if i change purses, i can just transfer the wallet and not have to rejigger the contents.

as is the case with many things in life, i think when you are desperately looking for something, it is always going to allude you. maybe fate hides when you look too hard or maybe life teases you to keep you on your toes. hmmmm…so i will continue to carry my anonymously designed wallet which i have done so for years. it serves a purpose while i keep a lookout for the right wallet that i can “heart.”
