Whenever I’m about to have a closet meltdown I try to take stock in the item I feel like is missing. Earlier this fall, I realized that my favorite black bag with gold hardware (that I’ve worn to death!) didn’t always go — the gold sometimes didn’t match or it just didn’t “go” with my outfit. I personally don’t mind mixing metals yet sometimes… it just doesn’t look right. I found this small black clutch/crossbody (#3 below) and was immediately obsessed. The all-black hardware pairs perfectly with everything, and don’t you think the all black, even the chain, is kind of extra cool?
Here are 8 looks that I’m coveting for fall; from smaller evening clutches to day bags and shoppers, the look works from work to weekend, from errands to the bar. Don’t anticipate any of these to look dated anytime soon.
1. longchamp (larger) // 2. she + lo // 3. rebecca mink off (own!)// 4. topshop (love!)
5. marc by marc jacobs (splurge!) // 6. asos // 7. forever 21 (steal!) // 8. zara (adjustable strap)
