I’m usually a big bag kind of girl since I carry so much stuff with me but I recently decided that I wanted to start carrying smaller size bags. I’ve also really been into cross body bags so when I saw this clutch with a removable shoulder strap, I just had to get it to try out my new “small bag” idea. There definitely is some getting used to not having all my lotions and potions that I usually carry with me but the best part about having a small bag? Not having to share your chair with it! I hate putting my bag on the floor so when I go to a restaurant I always share a chair with my bag (or I try to get a table with an extra chair for my bag) so with big bags, sharing a chair means I have little room to sit. With the clutch, I have the whole chair to myself!
Top: Madewell
Pants: Gap
Shoes: Miu Miu
Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff
Necklace: Vintage
Rings: Good Charma and Kimberly Baker
Not sure if you can find mine at Target anymore but this one looks quite similar. I think I will be adding more lace pieces to my closet, particularly this crochet and lace cardigan isn’t it gorgeous? And this one is really cute with just the lace on the back.
I’ve talked about these pants before and they really are great! They make for good work pants without looking too “office-y”. And the material is really comfy.
These are pretty much exact dupes of my Miu Miu pumps!
One of my favorite rings that hubs has ever gotten me (besides my engagement/wedding rings of course). I just love the design and that I can easily adjust it to fit any of my fingers.
I liked my blue one so much that I had to buy another one so I got it in pink too! It’s such a great piece to add a pop of color to your outfit. And even though it’s a clutch, it actually still holds a lot which is great! I also really love this Marc Jacobs clutch. The color is so pretty!

February 7, 2011 at 3:26 pmI LOVE this outfit! The pop of blue is so gorgeous, and I love Rebecca Minkoff bags too. I do have a question about your pants – did you hem them or did they come off-the-rack like that? The length is absolutely perfect with those heels.
By the way, thanks for answering your fan emails! We readers really appreciate it.

February 7, 2011 at 4:19 pmI am the exact same way with my bags – they never touch the floor. My boyfriend is so used to it that when we go out to eat or something, he pulls out my chair, and the chair for my bag too! haha, he's well trained 😉

February 7, 2011 at 4:52 pm@Twenty.Something yay! thanks for the support! I'm really excited to be a part of the team.
The color is what sold me, I don't own any blue bags and thought it was just perfect.
iamstylish
February 7, 2011 at 4:56 pm@B yup, I got them hemmed. I think that there is a petite sizing but I just got the regular sizing to hem it to the length that I like. I usually don't like where the petite sizing hem comes up on me but at least there's that option if you need it.
And of course! Thank you for writing me, I always am happy to hear from readers.

February 7, 2011 at 4:57 pm@carodaily ah, good training! 🙂 hubs is the same!

February 7, 2011 at 4:58 pm@Really Petite it took me a bit to get into buying colorful purses but I really like the pop of color it gives to an otherwise plain outfit so now I am addicted!

February 7, 2011 at 4:58 pm@Andee Layne if you are thinking about getting the MAC I recommend it! I do love so many of her bags as well.

February 7, 2011 at 5:04 pmCongratulations! I will be checking you out over there as well. It's so strange but lately I've been in search of a new wallet. I decided to go based on the look/feel of the wallet rather than the label but almost every single time, it was Rebecca Minkoff. Have you seen her passport cases? Lovely!

February 20, 2011 at 4:41 pmI have the same bag in black and love it… I wear mines on the weekends and like you carry a much bigger bag during the week.. Agree I do not like putting my bag on the floor. Have you ever tried the table hook for your bag?

February 24, 2011 at 3:42 amAhh you just convinced me that I need to add this clutch to my collection! What's the name of that beautiful blue you ordered? I see that they have teal, lapis, royal blue… can't decide.
