The perfect vintage straw clutch is definitely on my must list for warm weather style. I'm really loving the funkier, floral embossed ones that your grandma would have picked up on an "exotic" cruise 30 or 40 years ago.
(4getmenot; Shop Handmade)Or maybe a sleeker, undyed 1970s style....
(Leproust Vintage; Style for Life)Or....maybe nautical, lady-like, or a no-frills style...ok, the point is you really can't go wrong with these purses. They're timeless, affordable and you can find a great look no matter if you're a stiletto-wearing exec, a maxi-dress wearing earth mother or a boarding school student summering in Newport.
