My current obsession...

is the day-clutch. That is, an oversized clutch that you use during the day, as opposed to at night. This is not your old stand-by going-out spangly clutch. It should be some sort of skin: leather, snake –skin or alligator. The day-clutches I like best have a special detail in the form of hardware; a buckle or horse-bit is especially charming. The clothes you pair with your clutch need not be anything special; they should, however, be put together. No sweats or zip-ups here. You can wear pretty much anything you want, as long as it is A) polished and B) not something that you could wear going-out at night.
