I thought it was hysterical when I first heard about it too. But then the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea. </p> <p>I am always lugging around a giant bag full of the kids stuff. It would be nice to be able to stick just a little bag in the giant diaper bag, and when I go someplace on my own, just be able to pull it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-769154 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:06:27 +0000 Isabel 769154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That IS funny !!

I do see women carrying around phones and coffees and such. I've never been able to manage it though. The only reason I haven't lost my iPhone yet is because it's small enough to stuff in a pocket rather than put down on a table. :-)</p> <p>You guys are all so funny. OMG Ariadne, diaper clutches? Nonononono. Unless, I guess, it's just meant to be used like a giant wallet that you put in your diaper bag, which is really just a massive handbag with baby paraphernalia. :-)</p> <p>bj, I thought by definition a clutch does not have a strap! Can anyone enlighten us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-769073 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:19:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 769073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohmigosh - I'm laughing away reading this thread! Please tell me Una that you will NOT keep your keys and wallet in your dropped crotch trousers??? Of course, you'd jingle and jangle as you walked which would certainly cause some interesting looks....</p> <p>Jules, you are so right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-769035 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:33:11 +0000 RoseandJoan 769035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread makes me smile. I love to soak up the playground culture, it really is fascinating.</p> <p>I know some school mums who would swear they do not have a hand free to carry a clutch and yet are happily texting on their i-phone or drinking from a takeaway coffee cup at the time ;-)</p> <p>Scarlet and Natalia, your strategies did work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-769024 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:59:31 +0000 bj1111 769024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>is it still a clutch if it has a strap?!?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768935 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 08:39:45 +0000 Scarlet 768935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalia, I like how you maintain a little kingdom. I actually just finally bought one, so let's see how it goes for me. I am imagining having it inside the diaper bag as needs be and whipping it out when appropriate. Maybe this strategy makes more sense in the city where I will be "driving" my stroller primarily. I would think getting in and out of a car all the time is more schlepping in a way due to all the transferring involved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768916 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 06:46:58 +0000 Suz 768916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing so hard I almost needed one of the diaper clutches for myself!</p> <p>ETA: The big advantage of the drop crotch trouser is that not only does it disguise any VPL but it also disguises the tell-tale diaper line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768886 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 05:20:04 +0000 catgirl 768886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, Ariadne!

I was expecting something a little different...</p> <p>You are so right though, mothers of young children just can't afford to have one hand permanently busy. We are never under any obligation to adopt fashions that won't fit our lifestyle. Just save the clutching - er, I mean, clutches - for the evening. ;o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768688 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:34:40 +0000 Anonymous 768688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two small children and obviously carry around a massive bag full of everything, but my clutch comes with me too, it's my little kingdom where I only put my keys, lipgloss and phone! ...ok, sometimes I manage to put one or two binkys in there .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768656 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:15:58 +0000 L'Abeille 768656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, lately I have noticed that if I wedge my large envelope satchel stuffed with papers under my arm (as if it were a clutch), less of the stuff falls out on the way to the car...<br /> On the other hand, I no longer have to balance a toddler on the other hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768653 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:14:45 +0000 Anonymous 768653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elisabeth &amp; AlaskaGirl, thanks for cracking me up! I was skeptical about clutches, daytime or otherwise, as I rarely carry a bag &amp; I didn't want one I would lose. But I did buy a clutch in a faux ostrich texture that appeals to me. I guess the "daytime clutches" are larger? And/or they're in sportier fabrications? Anyway, mine is larger, &amp; I'm finding it quite useful for carrying all sorts of stuff, &amp; I made sure I got one that has a strap so I can use it hands-free &amp; not lose it.</p> <p>Megan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768626 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:58:28 +0000 Anonymous 768626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buahahaha... so funny </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768624 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:56:23 +0000 celia 768624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing like school-gate humor , we mothers sometimes crack ourselves up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768603 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:41:56 +0000 catgirl 768603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, but with the pants you can store things in the... never mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768600 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:40:57 +0000 Aziraphale 768600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drop-crotch trousers will not prevent you from holding things in your hands. That's more what we were all laughing about. What parent can get away with only one free hand? :-)</p> <p>It would take me about fifteen minutes to put a daytime clutch down somewhere and lose it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/concept-of-daytime-clutch-incites-giggles-in-school-moms#post-768599 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:40:14 +0000 Gaylene 768599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brings a cold dash of water into the fashion realm, doesn't it.

I was waiting to pick the kids up from school with a few other parents, and a mom walks up with her handbag wedged under her arm. She pulls up to the group and mournfully holds up the bag, waving its broken strap.</p> <p>Handbag mom: "Look! My favourite bag finally broke. My garage sale vintage one. I'm so bummed."</p> <p>Me: "Not to worry. My fashion blog says that a daytime clutch is the next new thing."</p> <p>Handbag mom: "Uh, what?" </p> <p>Laughter from the other moms.</p> <p>Me: "You know, a clutch handbag. Like for evening. Except you use it in the day. Apparently it's all the rage."</p> <p>Peals of laughter.</p> <p>I don't think the daytime clutch is going to take off in my demographic, haha. </p>
