My fossil wallet is a brown letter with little flowers imprinted into the leather. On the flap where you open the wallet there is an extra stitch of leather, but this one has Fossil imprinted on it. On the inside there is a small pouch container and an insert for your credit cards, money, etc. On the inside fold of the wallet there is a colorful cloth sheet of flowers. It gives the inside a little extra appeal. I picked my wallet because I wanted to chose something that I spent a little more money on than I have in the past.
There are plenty of women that are completely fine with going out with whatever purse they were able to find at the store. I used to be one of them because name brands were not so important to me. I was never able to keep up with what the other kids were wearing. I had nice things but nothing like Abercrombie & Fitch or Aeropostale. Now that I have moved away from the petty importance of being the one with the best clothes in high school, there is a lot less pressure from everyone around you to fit in.
I didn’t even know that I was going to buy a wallet when I was shopping one day, but I did. There was just something about the wallet that made me feel like it was an extension of who I wanted other people to see me as – which is what visual rhetoric is all about.
