the more i use a clutch, the more i fall for the versatility it offers.  some people think they’ll get frustrated having to hold a clutch, but the reality is that i so rarely use a shoulder bag, i’m carrying something no matter what – usually a big satchel bag.  and honestly, a clutch can just be tucked under your arm, rendering your hands free for whatever you need.  plus, i love the minimalism that a clutch requires – i have to actually think about what i “need” to have with me versus what i “want” to have, and carrying just the essentials feels so liberating.

in terms of hardware, i am head over heels for this soft, semi-structured grey clutch from ndc.  the shape and color really makes this perfect for day or evening – if you’re looking for one clutch to do it all, this is the best option i’ve seen.  pick it up at shopjake.com for $410, and try using code ‘thelatest‘ to score 10% off.

ps…as long as you’re there, most of their spring sale items are marked down to 70% now, and you can use code ‘15offsale‘ to save an additional 15% off.  that really qualifies as “so close to free it’s not even worth discusisng” in my book…so get to shopping!
