In the Clutches ...

Ever since I was a young girl watching Dynasty with my mom (don't judge), I have associated the carrying of a clutch with women who were always dressed to the nines, dripping in diamonds, and typically on their way out for cocktails. There is something to be said for only having to carry a clutch - and it certainly is a much different feeling than the days carrying my large handbag, gym bag and grocery bag ... typically at the same time.

A clutch still symbolizes elegance, freedom, and beauty to me - to name a few. Here I have selected several styles I am obsessed smitten with. Now you tell me, which ones are your favorites?

Pleats, Prints & Colors ... Oh, My!

Remember the days of dress up? You know, the time in your life when you could spend half a day playing in Mom's closet? That's how I feel with stylist Amy living in my neighborhood. When she called me and said, "Friend, just wait until you see the dress I scored this week!" I knew it would be flawless ... but then to have pleats, floral prints, and bold colors? Yes, please! Not to mention this meant my (divine) Coach Legacy oversized clutch had to come out and play as well:
