Dear Girlfriends -
With this beautiful weather and this season carry a party-inspired clutch. Liven up your summer wardrobe with bags so affordable you’ll want them all.
When selecting a clutch this season its very likely, you’ll want to buy more and more! Generally, the size and style of the bag can be selected to suit your personal style preference. But of course, girlfriends here are a few that I would consider carrying to a trunk show or style event this weekend!

This citron Mantero satin clutch ($125.00) will give new life to last year’s dress. Floral accents in sateen, straw and nylon add a luxe touch. A ladylike floral print meets snakeskin in this structured clutch ($40.00). Skip a too-prim sundress and wear the bag with a playful denim romper. Or even enough a bright and simple clutch to express your personal style with this rectangular clutch ($10.00).

- Yellow Flowered Clutch

- Floral Clutch
If you wanted to try something a little bigger … The Rumer clutch by Nicole Miller ($150.00) has a signature metallic lining with a fold over flap. This is great for an evening wear especially when you want to carry less. A pearlescent snakeskin texture defines a clutch-style bag ($90.00) fashioned from supple leather. The structured cutout handles open to reveal a vibrantly patterned lining.

- Oversized Snake-Embossed Clutch
This structured bag ($50.00) is a standout in graphic black and white woven straw. Wear it with a canary-colored minidress for maximum ’80s impact. Zipper rosettes toughen up this cute mini-clutch ($15.00). Use it to add a trendy touch to a simple slip dress.

- Rosette Clutch

- Black & White Clutch
Rich leather clutch ($68.00) in a unique tie-dyed finish with a bunched ruffle flap. Full printed lining; organizer pocket inside; link chain strap with leather handle.

- Tie Dye Clutch
Girl no matter what your style event this weekend – you must carry a clutch! Don’t hold back … be chic this season.
Until the next style adventure,
Monica
