Collecting: Clutches

One of my favorite things to collect are darling little clutches.  I love having something cute to finish off an outfit on date nights with Colin.

I like to check the clearance sections of my favorite stores for good deals.  Because how often will I use an orange clutch?  Not often, but when it's only $5, I can't pass it up!

Bonus: Opening a clutch and finding an old ticket stub.  It's all about the memories.

Oh, I love clutches also. There's a whole section of my closet devoted to them. You've got some great ones there. Have you checked out the selection at Etsy? I have to curb my spending habits over there.

I love little purses. They are so different than what I need/use in my everyday life. I have had the opportunity to use 2 of my little purses recently attending 2 weddings on the same day and going to a funeral.

I have had date night since my kids were born eight years ago, but I do remember them. And, I loved to have a small purse to match my outfit. At the time, I worked close to the mall and would go there on my lunch breaks and put a "watch" on certain purses. When the price hit rock bottom, I bought it. I miss those days but I have a lot of cut purses in my closet to show for it.

I should have written "...haven't had date night in eight years..." Sorry!

They're all so pretty. I love all the different flowers on them. I have such a weakness for handbags... well, bags in general.

LOVE THIS...for the past five years, my girlfriends, my sisters and I get together for a "Holiday Girl's Night Out." We eat, drink and exchange a gift...a new or vintage clutch. We all can't wait to see what others brought. It is the BEST Christmas tradition that I have with all of these wonderful ladies

I couldn't agree more. I have a variety of clutches just because they make me feel fancy-HA!
