😀as long as it has a strap, to free up my hands, it is good for me. Pretty bags.
True confession: I seldom go out, but I have a sweet little collection of evening clutches and minaudières. I don’t usually feel temped to purchase purses that I don’t need, except for these blingy little numbers. They are my weak spot, when I see a pretty one, I can’t resist!!! I think it’s because they’re small and sparkly and appeal to my princess-y side. LOL!
We all have our weakness, and handbags are one of mine.
🙂 Nice variety of clutches.
found it 🙂
