Back to Black

Fashion dilemma... It's Thursday night and you are getting ready to go out. You've decided that you want to wear your brand new doo.ri knotted jersey tank with some of your favorite straight-leg jeans. Throw on your chunky gold cuff and your classic wear-with-everything Miu Miu platform slingbacks.
























Now the hard part... Which purse? You scan your closet for a small black handbag with gold hardware and nada. How can you not have a simple black handbag? The purse makes an outfit!! What were you thinking?? To avoid this problem every time you are about to walk out the door... Invest in one of these...


This Marc Jacobs Mix Quilted Chic Handbag is small enough to wear when you go out, but still has a nice long strap so you don't have to worry about holding onto it. And I love the gold chain and push-lock closure.









Don't like the long chain, but still love Marc Jacobs? Try the Christina Leather Shoulder Bag. The black patchwork leather is a a great departure from last years quilted Stam bag(which has officially been knocked off too many times to count.) And I love the hammered gold hardware.







For a similar look at a much lower price, check out this Nina Small Shoulder Bag by Kooba.













For the most bang for you buck, get a clutch without ANY hardware. This Lauren Merkin Sadie Textured Lambskin clutch is big enough to fit more than just a cell phone and a wallet. And then you can use this all-purpose bag with any outfit.
