10 Tiny Little Crossbodies That Will Free Up Your Hands

To say that I'm known for my Tiny Little Crossbody bags—henceforth referred to as TLCs—would be a bit of a misrepresentation; It would be more accurate to say I am roasted for my TLCs. I'm regularly ribbed (gently!) by my friends and colleagues over the diminutive handbags that seldom leave my body. What can I say? I like to keep my friends close and my MetroCard closer. 

And while the jokes about my puny purses abound, I've had the last laugh on more than one occasion. Checking your coat and work bag at the door? Unless you have robust pockets (a rarity in fashion directed toward women), you'll be carrying your essentials all night. Why suffer through the feeling of your debit card sticking to your calf inside your boot when you can tuck it away into a stylish, small bag slung across your midsection instead? 

Are you sold yet? If not, keep scrolling—because I rounded up some of my favorite TLCs. Feel free to shoot me a "thank you" DM with your newly free hands.
