{Manic Monday: Cute Clutch}

Hello, and happy Monday everyone!!! While I was in Portland over the weekend I spotted a real trend popping up everywhere. Ladies, it's time to retire your big, over sized shoulder bags and purses, and grab hold of a small, understated clutch.

Styling tips:
Vintage is all the rage right now, but don't let the ego fool you. You can stop by any thrift store and find a cute inexpensive clutch and leave as-is, or re-cover it, paint it, add to it, etc.

Another must for the season is a colorful clutch. The more outrageous and bright the color or pattern, the better. Have fun with these!!

Cute clutches found around town:Structured Canvas & Vinyl Bag, $48 at Urban Outfitters
Teal Sunrise Clutch, $16 at FredFlare
Savannah Tooled Leather Clutch, $58 at Bleubird Vintage
Kimchi Blue Colorblock Clutch, $38 at Urban Outfitters
The Cheshire Clutch, $44.99 at Modcloth


My suggestion is to go to a local thrift store or boutique and pick one up. If you decide you love it, you know where to find them, and they come in all shapes and sizes. I have a DIY coming up on how to make your own!!! You've got to wait patiently for that one!!

I hope everyone has a phenomenal week! Tune in a little later today for my Weekend Update and some shots of my new tattoo work!! Until then,
