I love handbags, but I've noticed that I never choose the right handbag for a special occasion or party. My handbags are usual big and my friends use me as their luggage carrier (not fun). When you are at a party or dance, you want to be able to move freely. The only way you can do this is if your bag is treated like an accessory. This means downsizing. Clutches are our friends when it comes to partying because they take up less space.
What to keep in your clutch: I suggest that you downsize to the bare minimum. This means your makeup if you choose to wear any MUST not feather or fade because you will have no room for a make up bag. Just bring the essentials:
1.Phone
2.Keys
3. Credit/Debit Card and Cash
4.Driver's License /ID
5. (optional) mini hand sanitizer
6. (optional) mini hand lotion
7. (optional) the lipgloss and/or lipstick you are wearing that night
*To maximize space in your clutch, use a paper clip to secure your Cards and Cash.*
A great place to buy a clutch is DSW.com. They carry many well made clutches for more than half off the suggested retail price. Here are just a few suggestions on clutches from DSW and many of my other favorite stores.
