Fashion Blog » 3 Great Clutch Handbags

Tonight I’m going out to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I’m wearing a flattering Dolman sleeve black knit dress that I bought on sale at Banana Republic (I’d show you, but it’s not on their site anymore), some cute and 40s-inspired black wedges I’ve had forever, and a woven mustard-colored belt to top it all off and add color. The only thing I forgot, until now when it’s too late to do anything about it, is a purse. I know, what was I thinking? Sigh, I’ve been busy–this whole week is a blur.

So, since the damage is done, and I’m going to have to ask some poor friend to hold my essentials all night, I thought I’d do a woulda, coulda, shoulda post. Here are the fabulous clutches that should be completing my outfit tonight (because this is a fantasy, I might get a little extravagant. Cheers!):

I could go for contrast with a white bag (look at the dragonfly detail) 

Kenneth Jay Lane Diana Handbag, $315

I could play it safe and sophisticated with a black bag:

Nicole Miller Cory Clutch, $149.95

This grey would really look great with the mustard belt:

Linea Pelle Danielle Clutch, $225
