I dream of purses the way normal people dream of great treks, lizards, being chased, and falling (yep, I looked it up – those are the most common dreams. I’m just that cool.)
The clutch has long been a staple in a woman’s dress-up ensemble. Only the necessities. Because apparently, at a big event – you only need the essentials. Skinny dress – skinny purse. And now – the horror – clutches are becoming a daytime thing. So what can you fit into a clutch? Lipstick, powder, cell phone, money, credit cards, keys … wait, I’m out of room? (Check out what I normally stuff into my purse.) Well this isn’t going to work. Then there is the whole problem of retain-ability. How does one hold on to a purse without a handle? And by your second skinny girl martini, are you remembering that clutch? This is so not clutch.
The moral of the story: I just can’t go strapless.
