Abstract
A portable securement system for securing implements such as eyewear and pens to a user's garment for safekeeping. The system includes a device usually hidden in use, and formed as a pendant construction to be mounted on button threads behind a garment placard. There it is anchored while a magnet secured at the device's lower part secures implements for easy retrieval. The device includes an opening which may be placed over the button, with a narrowed portion of the opening engaging the threads and serving as an anchoring trap to hold the device in place. In an alternative arrangement, wire-like segments define the device's central opening and terminate at opposed wire ends at an upper part of the device to form a releasable clip. This clip may be utilized to anchor the device to an inner seam or other garment parts where it can be utilized without being outwardly visible.
