I love accessories…this is a given. But, when it comes to handbags my heart goes-a-pitter-patter in really abnormal ways! What can I say, I have a thing for the bag. Especially clutches. To me, nothing says class and sophistication more than the perfect clutch. It can turn an outfit into something semi cute into BUH-BAM amazing. Have you ever noticed how women stand when holding a clutch versus another type of handbag? They stand straighter, taller, more confident and exude the vibes “I’m ready to take on the world!” or “I have arrived! All eyes on me!” There are so many different kinds of clutches; envelope, minaudière, pouch, round, square, soft, hard…the list goes on. But the types of clutches I’m feeling right now are the statement clutches. The clutches that are crazy, goofy, fun, sophisticated, thought provoking, eye catching and popping. They add an extra level of playfulness to any look when done right and I just love them oh so much. Fashion is about having fun and expressing yourself through what you wear, so why not do that with your bags? Right? Exactly? I couldn’t have put it better myself!
Here are my favorite statement clutches that I wish I had in my (insert photo of multi level dream handbag closet here) wardrobe currently – that you can shop too. They all range from $27.00-$3,000.000.
