You’re Better Than That!

You are definitely better than this!

Last week I was out to a lovely dinner with my family.  One poor soul, who shall remain nameless, was carrying this teeny, tiny, black leather pouch with a mile long thin strap attached.  It was an ugly little thing to look at and her keys, glasses, and money were all spilling out of it onto the table.  I can’t!  It was a mess.  I took one look at it, and you know what I said?

 

“YOU’RE BETTER THAN THAT!”  Life is too short for that ugly pouch!

On this particular evening I was carrying one of my favorite Anthony Luciano bags, the sun clutch.  I introduced my nameless family member to this radiant python beauty, “Now, this is a small bag for your things.”

I LOVE clutches; they are such a fun accessory, small enough when you are heading out for a meal on a breezy evening with just a few necessities, but big enough for the items to agreeably fit.  If your belongings are spilling out onto the streets, you’re better than that, get a bigger bag!

Clutches are not just for evening either, you can easily carry them from day to night.  The possibilities for spring are endless.  They are tons of fun in these candy colored Hermes bags.

Aren’t they just the yummiest? Now I know, we’re not all shopping at Hermes.  If you don’t want to spend a lot, don’t worry, where there’s a designer, there’s a knock off right around the corner.  This cute blue girl is from Banana Republic. Love it!

Spend a little, or spend a lot, but strut your stuff and show off your personality.  Carry one as a bright, bold statement piece, or if your outfit already says a lot on its own, a clean black or neutral clutch would be perfection.

Have fun! Life is too short to carry around a tiny, boring, ugly, sack bag. You’re better than that!

    Very cute!
    Love the bags you featured here. Fabulous colors … and they’d make great gifts!!!
    Please note: The nameless person “heard” you and transferred her belongings to an adorable little Coach purse the next day.
    Some people definitely need to be reminded that they are “Better Than That!”
