(I've already found myself places with my purse but no wallet b/c I forgot my wallet was in the diaperbag.) They don't necessarily have to match each other.
I have 2 recommendations for you. One is the Hobo Lauren wallet. A good friend of mine introduced me to this AMAZING wallet. I actually found a knock-off at JC Penney nearly 2 years ago, which suited my budget better... especially since I wanted to "test-drive" the setup before investing in the Hobo. It actually worked out so well that I didn't need to get the Hobo, HA! Anyway, the setup is very nice. One side of the clutch is great for bills and the other side was a perfect fit for my smartphone. It was super easy to find in the diaper bag to grab and go for quick errands.
Another option could be this small Baggallini bag: Triple Zip Bagg. I had one for a while (slightly different, now discontinued). Love the brand. The one I carry now is a little bit bigger: Wallet Bagg. I love having my own mommy bag! Cross-body/hands-free is a key!
