Throw your selection into a little camera bag, other nylon bag, or even a Ziploc bag and just tuck it in a jersey pocket.
It's all a compromise. I like a clean clutter-free look for the bicycle. But I always need a water bottle or two anyway. And since some of my rides are somewhat far from home I like having a few "extras" with me. Stuffing a bunch of crap in my jersey makes me feel clunky and look sloppy. I've never found the "perfect" solution myself. I found a medium sized saddle bag... isn't to Fred-looking... and doesn't get in my way while cycling.
