"The List" Part 5: The Clutch

This is the perfect example of my quote, "not all trends are created equal".  Let's be real here.  My lifestyle and several of my mommy friends for that matter do not have the luxury of carrying a clutch style handbag on a regular basis.  The possibility of dropping it, losing it, or leaving it are common fears and the over the shoulder bag wins out every time.

I am, however, a slave to fashion and I do LOVE the look of a clutch.  It looks so effortless and simple.   

INSPIRATION




Ouch! 



REAL LIFE

If there is an occasion where we get to ditch our "mom" bags and downsize to a smaller handheld version, here are a few of my favorite affordable pieces.




A cross body for those days when you need to be "hands free".

who rock the clutch







With two small children running around me at all times, effortless and simple are two adjectives I seek on a daily basis.  However, my reality is the giant "mom" bag filled with diapers, wipes, and even a few goldfish crackers that have made their way to the bottom.

Happy Shopping!
