Curves Around the World: Clutch Bag

Hey Everyone! How is everyone doing this week? You know it was 80 degrees this week in California? Were having summer weather in winter, not cool because I've been loving the cooler weather. Fortunately it got cooler today, so that's a good sign. Are you ready for Christmas, there's only 6 more days! 

Well it's the middle of the week, you know what that means another "Curves Around the World" post and this weeks theme is "Clutch bag!" So I'm actually not a big clutch bag person, I don't own many and most of the ones I do own have a chain strap, that I will usually use instead of using it as a clutch. I'm just more comfortable with bags with straps, especially ones that you can just wear over the shoulder. But for this post I will actually use the clutch the way it's suppose to be.

This clutch is really old, I think I got this my first year of college from forever 21. I wont say how long ago that was but it was a pretty long time ago. But I really like this clutch and I think that even after so many years it's still in style. I love the colors on the bag it's very fall and I love the paisley pattern on it as well.

So this isn't the original outfit I was going to wear, but I didn't really have much time to change so I figure that the outfit I wore today would be fine. It's because the sun goes down so early this time of year so when I get home I rush to try to take my pictures before it's dark outside. The tank underneath is a burnt orange which I felt like complemented the colors of the clutch but it didn't photograph well. But yeah on the back of my shirt there's a skull, if you remember when I wrote about the opening of wet seal+ (here) this was the top that I bought from there. I didn't get a clear picture of it to post, sorry.

Since I was wearing jeans I decided to dress it up with heels, because when I think of clutches I think of a more dressier outfit. I love how heels can dress up an outfit, like you saw in my last post how I wore heels with sweatpants, heels can take a casual everyday outfit to one for a night out. 

What do you think of clutches? How do you wear clutches?

Envelope Clutches

Hey Everyone, I hope everyone is having a great week so far. I on the other hand I have not been feeling too well, I think it's because this crazy California weather, one day its scorching hot and the next its overcast and cold. But I'm starting to feel better now. I hope the weather makes up it's mind soon because I don't want to get sick again. hehe :) 

Well one of my favorite things in fashion is accessories because they can transform jeans and t-shirt look to something fabulous with the right accessories. Plus accessories don't really have a size so they look great on everyone! Right now I'm really loving envelope clutches, I think there chic and they can add just the right amount of style to any outfit. Plus they come in so many colors and styles, I'm sure everyone will be able to find one that fits them. 

Below is just a mood board that made of different envelope clutches so that you could see they come in a variety of colors and styles. All the bags below are all under $50 dollars too so that you can see that they are also very affordable. On the sides of the mood board are two pictures that show you two ways that the envelope clutch can be styled, I really like how both clutches in the pictures make a big difference in both outfits, they give a great punch of color and detail to both looks.

I also found a great tutorial on how to make an Envelope clutch with no sewing. I put the video below so that you can watch it or you can click on the link to watch it. (Here) In the tutorial she shows you two different clutches that you can make. She makes it seem really easy, I think I'm going to try it one of these days and I'll you all see how it goes. :)  

What do you think of Envelope clutches? What are some of your favorite accessories? 

Have a wonderful day ~Nina~
