A clutch story
After I did the post “A DASHing evening”, Ellen commented on how she wanted to see more of my clutch.
I have been trying so hard to remember where I got this clutch.
If I tell you that I have had it forever and that saturday night was the first time I wore it, you probably won’t believe me but, it’s the truth. (I think I have had it longer than 10 years)
I either got it at the Lincoln Rd market or at a vintage store but EVERY time I went to wear it, I always felt like it was too big.
On saturday, once I put on my purple jumpsuit (that I hadn’t worn since I was pregnant with Lily in 2009), I knew that I wanted to wear red shoes.
I love the combination of purple and red together.
I decided to wear the red platform sandals I had not worn since I met Will in 2007.
So, the outfit was almost complete except for the bag.
I wasn’t sure what bag to wear, I didn’t want to wear the gray satchel I usually wear or the pewter clutch I tend to go to at last moment.
I reached deep into my accessory drawer and brought out the red clutch.
It was its time to shine. 😉

I just did some catching up on your blog. I loved your purple outfit, shoes and clutch and am always amazed when people can hold on to clothes this way. I get rid of clothes if I haven’t worn then in a year. This isn’t the greatest idea because I can’t tell you of all my regrets!
I also love Lily’s finger painting.

@Rachel,
thank you. I know what you mean, I too get rid of clothes often and have many regrets as well. Every once in a while I will put things in storage as well. The purple jumpsuit was actually hanging in my closet and needed straps sewn on since I don’t like wearing strapless. The red shoes were in a bag to be given away and I’m glad I didn’t because I so needed them that night. 🙂
