I often forget about clutches, because I’ve always tended towards shoulder bags for all but the most formal occasion. However, I was looking through Tory Burch’s website and found quite a few clutches that I wouldn’t mind having – and maybe even breaking my shoulder bag habit for. First up is this little number. I spend about 75% of my time wearing black, white, or both and this bag looks perfect. The added bonus of its black and white color scheme is that it would be sure to compliment colorful outfits as well. Next up is this bag, which would be perfect for those times when you want to edge up your look. The gold metal hardware is stunning, and while toryburch.com only has that particular clutch in black, nordstrom.com also has it in tan (see it here). And finally, even someone as dedicated to classic black and white as I am has to break out of the rut sometimes, and accessories are a great way to add some color to what could verge on an otherwise bland look. This bag comes with a chain strap if you prefer it, or it can be used as a clutch, but best of all it’s available in black, white, and purple!
