Rest assured, it was a gift that I only resorted to using after my previous Sanrio wallet (forgive me; I was thirteen) started to smell weird after I tried to wash the dirt stains out of it. Not that I have anything against Hello Kitty. Just Hello Kitty in a devil costume. (And Sanrio makes the best contact cases. Hands down.) On my most recent visit to UCLA, one of my childhood friends showed me her newly obtained (badass) Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet. I believe it was this one, in red:

And move on to something more like the aforementioned MbyMJ wallet in "Electric Violet," or perhaps one of these:

I know yellow keeps her money and cards and receipts (?) in a cigarette case, but I would have to cut down on how much I carry around if I wanted to do that...
I've also been considering switching to a hinge wallet/card case, like this:

But hinge wallets tend to be rather large - too large for most of my non-tote bags. And while I usually am toting around a tote bag and not tiny clutches, I do like me a good small bag. Something is going to need to be sacrificed...
