I'm with Jessica Lares, another female that absolutely hates to carry a purse. I have several
Scottevest jackets, sweatshirts and vests that I wear once the weather is cool enough for another layer. I love them, I can stash everything I need into the pockets.
And for the summer months when it's too hot for even a light vest, I use the smallest lightest nylon crossbody purse just big enough to hold my cell, reader, camera, cash/credit cards, keys and that's it (like
this one, although it seems my 2 favorites and smallest bags are no longer sold). They're barely 6"x8" tall and that's just perfect as a crossbody bag where my shoulders don't start to hurt from the weight of a heavy purse because I have too much stuffed in it.
Hate purses. But for the hot weather, it's a necessary evil I can't do away with entirely. I won't even put a credit card in my jeans pockets because it will bend and be unusable sooner rather than later. I can't imagine putting any electronics in a jeans pocket, it would destroy them on the first time out the door.
