It's also available in snake, and I have it in a colorblocked neutral and I really like it. It's real leather, and large for a clutch. It can be used for daytime as well.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Elliott-Lucca-Cordoba-Clutch-Graphite/dp/B005EHQ062">http://www.amazon.com/Elliott-.....B005EHQ062</a> </p> <p>ETA: Oops, I just remembered Joy's clutch has a gold buckle, so hers must be a different metallic.

I am leaning toward metallic and ideally rose gold with this. But of course the one I liked seems elusive now.&nbsp;<br />These are nice and simple but elegant too:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ninewest.com/GEM-CUT-MINIDIERE/12024437,default,pd.html?variantSizeClass=&amp;variantColor=JJG03D0_1&amp;cgid=12877355&amp;prefn1=catalog-id&amp;prefv1=ninewest-catalog">http://www.ninewest.com/GEM-CU.....st-catalog</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ninewest.com/PLEATED-FRAME-CLUTCH/11943055,default,pd.html?variantSizeClass=&amp;variantColor=JJI15C0_1&amp;cgid=12877353&amp;prefn1=catalog-id&amp;prefv1=ninewest-catalog">http://www.ninewest.com/PLEATE.....st-catalog</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1051218 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 23:11:44 +0000 Suz 1051218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another colour that might look amazing would be navy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1051215 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 23:08:02 +0000 Amy 1051215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheila, I went to target as you suggested, but they didn't have anything nice like you just posted. I'll try online ordering. Thanks for doing the homework!</p> <p>Mochi et al, thanks! I'll model it soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1051075 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 16:23:35 +0000 Mochi 1051075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Amy, you clearly know what you're doing here &nbsp;That dress is going to look amazing on you.

I agree that the clutch should play second fiddle to the dress. In your search, don't overlook Target...they often have cute, stylish accessories that look much more expensive than their price...but if you want an investment purse (if you're going to be attending more cocktail parties) then just ignore my suggestion. Have fun, you'll look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1051045 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:27:24 +0000 JulieJohn 1051045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous dress! Please model it for us.</p> <p>I tend to be playful, so I like the idea of "christmas-izing" the dress with cranberry clutch and shoes. I also fancy a warm brown. It would be a lovely woodland pairing, and would bookend your chestnut bob. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1051036 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:12:51 +0000 Amy 1051036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies. I am currently planning on wearing nude pumps, although am not sure about the ones I purchased. I tried on dozens of pumps and found many of them unbearably uncomfortable. The ones I ended up bringing home aren't as aesthetically pleasing to me as some others. I'm going to continue looking... </p> <p>I like the idea of a metallic clutch. Thank you!</p> <p>Pil, you are too funny </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050969 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 09:15:19 +0000 soobee 1050969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh lovely!&nbsp; So you!&nbsp; And I also would go matchy matchy with the bag if appropriate to the shoes.&nbsp; Which shoes will you wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050968 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 09:02:18 +0000 dlb1960 1050968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful choice you have made. Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050943 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 06:00:46 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1050943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress Amy.&nbsp; I think a simple soft metallic clutch would be perfect but black would work too.&nbsp; I like a pewter type of finish as it isn't as bright as silver or gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050939 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 05:44:37 +0000 Lantana 1050939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will look exquisite in this Amy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050904 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 04:30:05 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1050904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a beautiful dress and love parties at places like the aquarium! &nbsp;I echo others with the suggestion of a metallic clutch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050869 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 02:55:18 +0000 Sharon 1050869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would probably go for something very simple and plain so that it is not competing with the beautiful lace. What colour shoes are you going to wear? I think I would match the bag to those (but I confess a weakness for matchy-matchy) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050843 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 02:00:45 +0000 Deborah 1050843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you will look gorgeous in this dress. What shoes will you be wearing? I would consider that when looking for a clutch. I could see a simple metallic one working. Or how about something like these from Zara?</p> <p>#1 is elegant and compliments the the lady like vibe of the dress.</p> <p>#2 is a more of a contrast of modern against the dress that has a subtle Mad Men vibe. But the animal print mimics the lace of the dress.</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050841 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 01:51:07 +0000 Dottie 1050841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that dress. &nbsp;So feminine. &nbsp;It looks as though the lining is quite light in color, so silver seems right to me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050826 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 01:26:05 +0000 Suz 1050826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's going to look lovely on you, Amy!&nbsp;</p> <p>Laughing with Pil -- she is a card.&nbsp;</p> <p>For less expensive options, I recommend a plain metallic, too. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-party-attire#post-1050811 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 01:11:47 +0000 pil 1050811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful dress, Amy, that color is probably amazing on you.</p> <p>How about this little number?

It does what a nice dress should do. I'd like to find a clutch to carry that evening, but everything I saw in the stores today wasn't right...they were too blingy, too black, too something. Any suggestions? </p>
