Fashionable women across the pages of Vogue, US Weekly, and so on, carry their purse-of-the-moment in the crook of their arm. And oh, how comfortable they look. But have you ever tried actually wearing a top handle tote on your forearm? I mean, really tried.
Step 1 – Fill said purse with your favorite nonsense … cell phone, wallet, keys (all unnecessarily large), cosmetic pouch (or lip gloss and powder if you’re a minimalist – or just plain smart), sunglass case (I refuse to ding my Balenciagas), first aid kit (okay, I’m a freak – but guess who has the band-aids/eye drops/lozenge … I do! I do!), nail file (necessary),pen and checkbook (I like to diversify), and candy (fat free, duh.)
Step 2 – Hold glam purse chic-ly on forearm.
Step 3 – Move handles to crook of arm to alleviate some of the pain.
Step 4 – Walk two minutes.
Step 5 – Throw stupid couture handbag at husband and storm away.
