need a mic to connect to laptop for use with gotomeeting

Is there a wireless or bluetooth microphone that I could clip to my clothing and it connects to a laptop with a receiver that I could use for a video presentation coming up?  I use gotomeeting?

There are billions*.  Here's one:  Lavalier Lapel Mic-K031B

I have a bluetooth earpiece for my iphone.  Is there a mic that would be similar?  All it would be is the mic and a usb receiver?  Nothing else to clip onto the hip like the K031B has?
Yes, actually I own one just like this and I love it:  Plantronics Voyager Legend

[edit: this one is an earpiece and mic - I'm not aware of one that's just a microphone.]
would this be a mic that I could connect to a laptop and use with gotomeeting or is this a bluetooth headset?
Yes it is.  If that particular one doesn't have a dongle for the laptop, there are plenty that do.  Plantronics doesn't make the cheapest equipment, but their stuff works well.
do they make a style that clips on?
Would this model work:  See screenshots.  I also have a pic of the laptop that I would want to plug the receiver into.

It would connect to the port on the laptop?
It should.  I'm guessing that accepts audio in as well as audio out..  The owner's manual would tell you if it were audio-out (for earphones) only.  The image next to it looks like a headset with a mic, so I'm guessing it will accept input from a microphone.
