by Joyce Amerson

A wristlet is a great little party accessory when you have a cute little dress and don't want to mess up the look by pairing it with a gigantic hobo bag. These top picks in a wristlet will have you achieving your minimalist look without spending a ton of money.

The Uptown Signature from New York & Company is a great option at only $14.95. In beautiful heavy duty nylon material with the New York & Company signature logo adorning the body this is a beautiful and casual option that can be dressed up or dressed down. This is perfect for a first day to the movies, when you don't want to take your gigantic bag but just enough gum, cash, and credit to get you through the night without any hiccups.

For a little accessory that will be great for those summer and spring weddings, take a look at the Genevieve from Cole Haan. In a beautiful optical weave pattern, this dome shaped bag is constructed in artisan leather hand-woven in soft suede. Beautiful and luxurious, this bag also features vegetable tanned leather and an embossed snake print for added effect. The pale gold hardware blends perfectly with the metallic leather treatment. This is a great choice as a complement to a black dress or any dress in warmer color tones.

For a casual choice take a look at the Classic from Juicy Couture. With just the right touch of rock and roll edge to make this little bag into a statement piece, this design is a great buy at $128.00. Perfect to wear out with friends for a night on the town, this bag would look great with a pair of distressed skinny jeans and a slouchy sheer tank. So cool and punked out. With a front zip pocket, top-zip closure, and three credit card slots, this bag is all you need to complete your edgy look.

For a tiny bag with a little more sophisticated, take a look at the Flatiron bag from Banana Republic. A great buy at only $59.50, this design is a perfect option for an understated accessory. With minimal stitching details and conservative polished nickel hardware detail at center, this bag is beautiful and sleek without a ton of busy details. In purple leather, gray leather, and black leather options to choose from, you will have all your style bases covered with this hot number hanging off of your wrist. Pick it up quick before it sells out.

For a classic design with major elegance, pick up the Classic Q bag from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Slightly pricier at $168.00, this is an effortless style that is sure to be one of your favorites for years to come. With pleating detail at the front and a large Marc Jacobs logo plate, this bag is beautiful, simple, and luxurious. The soft pebbled leather will have you swooning and the effortless design will have you easily justifying this slightly higher end purchase.

For a preppy design in a minute bag, pick up the Shiny Leather design from Dooney & Bourke. So funky, yet equally conservative, this bag features shiny leather throughout in a vibrant yellow color. With a surprising adjustable handle, this bag features a strap that is long enough to be worn over your shoulder, if you aren't a fan of this lovely accessory hanging off your wrist. With a logo plate that adds visual interest, this bag also features the standard top zip closure and interior lining. Large enough to hold your cash, identification and a slim cell phone, what more do you need than this great option when spring and summer come knocking at your door?

These top picks in a wristlet are beautiful choices for the woman seeking practicality with a touch of personal taste blended in. The versatility in these designs will allow you to make these choices your own.
