Clutch This!




Don't get me wrong, I have a large selection of shoulder bags that easily carry my books and belongings with me to class, but this post will focus on another way to carry around a small amount of personal belongings: the clutch. Fall trends in magazines I read are displaying clutches in extra large forms, making it easy to finish off an outfit. With elegant handles and plenty of room for all the basics, over sized clutches are a convenient alternative, especially for me since my News Years Resolution was to downsize all the stuff in my life. I am excited about the prospect of the over sized clutch because they come in all types of fabrics and styles. A leather clutch with pleated sides and quilted covering is perfect for fall. Patent leather is another top trend this season, and you'll find it in almost every accessory in glossy black, red, and even white. Animal prints and exotic skins are a necessity this year, and an over sized clutch that can capture the trend will last you for through the seasons ahead. Over sized clutches are a great way to add a focal point to your outfit. This season I am inspired by the clutches with are rich with glossy patent and satin finishes and over sized embellishments to steal the spotlight!

I've always been a big fan of handbags and shoulder bags, so I've never owned a clutch. I'm scared I'd forget it all the time!
