VINTAGE VIXEN: White Envelope Clutch

by Tess

I have been obsessing over the big envelope clutches I've read about and seen everywhere lately. Vintage stores are a great place to find a unique version for your summer wardrobe!

This little white number is just one example. So cute! Perfect for carrying just the essentials. I especially love a clutch with a hidden optional wrist strap!

The Roomy Clutch

By Jax

I'm drooling over this stunning envelope clutch.  Perfect for summer and winter (in winter, it would be a bold bright accent to a drab and dreary day.)

Envelope clutches generally are my favorite go-to "small" bag, because it's not small at all!  It's the biggest you can go and still be hand-held.

Clutch Style

By Jax

A clutch is definitely the time to go out on a limb and do something different.  I get that you may not want to do that with a dress or a shirt, but something has to pop.  Make it your accessory! Interesting accessories are what make an outfit!

Country Time

By Jax

I've become obsessed with laser cut oxfords, so it's not surprise I'm equally obsessed with laser cut clutches!

This has a sort of country/rustic feel to it, which I like.  Perfect for a summer event where you're donning cowboy boots and a hat!

DESIGNER ALERT: Cole Haan

By Jax

Talk about timeless!  This will never, I repeat, never go out of style!!!  It's the perfect clutch.  Not too big, not too small.  A classic shade that will match anything in your closet.  And a well-known designer who makes consistently quality pieces.  I'm sold!

A Dusty Rose By Any Other Name

Some colors double as borderline neutrals, and dusty rose is in that camp.  Sure, this purse is in the pink family, but it could match so many other colors than "pink."  Green?  Brown?  Blue?  Red?  Yellow?  Purple?  You see my point, I hope...

Another element I love: oversized bow!  It doesn't just have to be on the clothing you wear, you can rock it on accessories, too!

The snap clutch is perhaps my favorite kind of bag accessory.  Small, but holds so much!  Always up to date, but still has that slightly vintage 60's feel.

Below are just a few of my favorites of the hundreds of different snap clutches that Mod Dot Textiles has on her etsy page.  At only $35.00 a bag, you can buy more than one and use them for specific outings!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Fit For Jackie O

Looking for the perfect white accessory to match your pastel outfit?  Look no further than....Payless???  I love the flower cut-outs.

I am impressed with Payless...this is definitely something I would imagine as being in Jackie O's closet.

As we approach wedding/easter/fancy spring clutch season, you should be shedding those black winter clutches for something a bit lighter.  Although I chose to showcase this gray clutch, the designer can make them in pretty much any color combo you wish!  So assess which one you could wear with the most things and go for it!

One thing I really hate to see at formal events (think weddings, proms, fraternity formal, charity galas, etc.) is a woman in a beautiful cocktail dress carrying...her everyday bag.

A red clutch is the perfect way to add a Christmas accent to any outfit.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Evening Stunner

I've seen this swirl/ruffle fabric on a lot of dresses, and it doesn't always work on a dress....but my my my does it work on an evening bag!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: All Dressed Up In Bows

I'm of the school of thought that bows automatically make anything fancier. When I look at this clutch, for me it's too fancy for just a night out. This needs to be a match to a cocktail dress for a charity event, or a wedding, or something that can accommodate the fancy that comes with putting satin bows on a clutch.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Sparkle Sparkle

Oh boy it's a sparkly day. How many sparkly things have I posted already? Maybe it will be a sparkly week!

Flashy accessories make a night outfit. And when you're out dancing, you don't really want to hold a gigantic bag. You want to hold something tiny, something that won't tie your dancing feet down!

Gray Days

I have a feeling that the surprise color of this fall is going to be...gray. I'm not sure why...maybe it's because Drew Barrymore had these stunning gray shoes on last week when she was on David Letterman. Soft, light gray is a warm and earthy color, and works well with a lot of key fall tones.

All that being said...this pewter croc-embossed clutch is the perfect addition to your gray fall outfit.
