accessory addict {purses & clutches}

For my next installment of accessory addict (previous posts about belts, scarves, hats and shoes), I decided to focus on an often overlooked outfit component- our money holders.  I adore evening clutches but have been guilty for using a boring everyday bag for months on end without thinking about it.  I now make a conscious effort before I leave the house to ensure that my purse works with my entire ensemble for a fashionable finishing touch!

Are you passionate about purses?

  1. That thrifted cross-body "croc" bag and that vintage peacock bag will always have a home with me if you ever tire of them.

    I'm a huge clutch collector but I don't use them for everyday. I like to carry too much stuff in my bag for a clutch to be of any use on a daily basis, but they are the best for evenings and weekends!

  7. I don't know if I'm passionate but I definitely do care about my bags and purses. and usually I go for high quality bags because I wear them for long long years. but I also have some thrifted bags. my collection is not very huge but I guess 10-20 should be the right number.
    your collection, by the way, looks pretty amazing too! it's amazing how many wonderful thrifted beauties you have!

  14. Aren't bags one of the best types of items to thrift?? There's nothing to try on, one size fits all, and leather pieces can often be found for a song. You have quite the collection! I love your black clutch with the brooch, and your fringed bags (a big trend for fall!)

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
