Clutch Control

Whilst sorting my wardrobe out the other day, I noticed I actually own quite a few clutch bags. This actually made me realise how much I love clutch bags so I thought I’d share with you my favourites.

In my opinion, black and cream clutches are the most versatile. They go with any colour combination and work in both winter and summer. My black one has accompanied me on many occasions and is from Dorothy Perkins. My cream one is actually from Primark, bought in a hurry one day when I couldn’t find anything else. Since then it has served me well.
My white and pink pastel coloured one is from Accessorize. I bought this for a wedding and have loved it ever since. It works well with any outfit and is particularly good in summer.
The neon green one was a more recent purchase. A bargain from New Look, I bought it to go with a black outfit. Neon is big for SS13 and this clutch added a pop of colour to a more simple dress.
Finally, my favourite. My woven multi-coloured bag was just £5 from Primark! I love it! It’s probably the biggest clutch I own - I can fit a pair of flat shoes in there which gives it extra brownie points. It is fairly new and so far I have only used it once, however I think it’s something I could use every summer.
The other day I was having a browse in Matalan and come across these clutches.

I am a huge fan of the Aztec patterns around at the minute and love the detail on these. For now I have enough clutch bags to keep me going although if I do buy another, this will be it.

Green Fever

Neon is a big hit this season and I just can't get enough! Bright oranges, greens, pinks and yellows seem to be everywhere on the high street and are definately a wadrobe staple.

 

I've already purchased a neon orange top which I love and mentioned in a previous post however now I can't get enough of green.

 

Cami's are one of my favourite things to wear in summer so when I spotted this green one on Missguided I couldn't resist. Floaty but simple, it's the perfect way to incorporate the neon trend into your wardrobe without feeling too over the top. I can't wait to wear it with some high waisted pants, shorts or perhaps even a midi skirt.

 

Accessores are key to finishing off any outfit and I love this statement necklace and bracelet from New Look. They'll look great with this top but will also brighten up any outfit. Accesories are the perfect and also cheapest way to update a look  - I'll be wearing these many times!

 

I've been on the look out for a summery clutch bag for a while so when I came across this yellowish green one on New Look's website I ordered it straight away. At just £9.99, minus student discount it was an absolute bargain! I won't be wearing the top, bag, necklace and bracelet together as it may be a little too much, but this bag will definately serve me well.  

 

Neon green is my staple this summer, what's yours?

    Even though it's February and STILL snowing (much to my dislike) it's time to look forward and start planning your spring/summer wardrobe. Neon is set to be big in SS13 so why not start shopping now.

 

 

Atelier Versace had some beautiful, neon dresses in there recent SS13 couture collection. The high street has took note and is currently full of neon pieces for us to get our hands on.

 

 

 Recently I purchased the neon cami-crop from Topshop and love it. At £15 it was a bargain as I think it's perfect to wear on an evening out as well as on holiday. I wore it last weekend with a simple black pencil skirt which complimented it well.

 

 

 

 Accessories are always important. I teamed my cami-crop with some simple neon triangle earrings (Topshop) and some bright pink lipstick. I love neon clashes and think the lipstick was a subtle touch which worked well.

 

If you haven't already you certainly need to add a neon item to your wardrobe. I love this top and I am sure it will serve me well this summer and future summers to come.
