Sorry to toss a complication into it. Pashmina wrap of some kind? Cardi? Would be nice if the same would work for both, even nicer if you already had something in the closet. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910450 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:08:38 +0000 nancylee 910450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think either bag really works for these dresses. &nbsp;I'd go with some sort of neutral (but dressy) clutch that will work for both dresses. &nbsp;FWIW, I own this VC clutch and it works beautifully&nbsp;as a dressy neutral bag for many situations. &nbsp;It's not gold, but it has gold metallic details...plus, it comes with two straps for variety. &nbsp;And it's even on sale:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shoptheshoebox.com/kat-clutch/37389/268917">http://www.shoptheshoebox.com/.....389/268917</a><br /><br />A big YAY&nbsp;on both dresses, BTW. &nbsp;They are lovely and so appropriate for the events! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910443 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 19:50:27 +0000 Diana 910443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Crap, this would have been perfect.&nbsp; I regret not buying it last fall.<br /><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/handbags/PRDOVR~18252/18252.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../18252.jsp</a><br /><br />(Although I did find one on ebay.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; Should i bid?)<br /><br />Other options:<br />Michael Kors Berkley.&nbsp; I like the style but no straps at all so not very practical.&nbsp; Also kind of pricey.<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/michael-michael-kors-berkley-metallic-clutch/3279238?origin=keywordsearch&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=610" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/mi.....ywordsearc</a><br />Also comes in a shinier, more gold lizard textured leather.<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BLSX3CW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A3EYWPWSGF6B2F" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....WPWSGF6B2F</a><br /><br />Sak convertible clutch.&nbsp; This one converts into a true shoulder bag so it could be used for day.&nbsp; Very inexpensive for real leather.<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QIU23U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER</a><br /><br />Toyed with the idea of getting this but I think it's too bulky for an evening look even though it does convert into a clutch.<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Foley-Corinna-Womens-Mid-City/dp/B005NG1442/ref=pd_sbs_a_47" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Foley-Co.....d_sbs_a_47</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910388 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 18:31:28 +0000 Diana 910388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am leaning towards gold as well.&nbsp; Actually both of the pictured clutches do have shoulder straps, but I think the colors don't go.&nbsp; I always try to find clutches with shoulder strap or at minimum a wrist strap since I have issues with carrying them by hand for any long period (especially since I like bigger clutches and I have small hands and weak wrists).<br />Hee, this will be the third evening bag I have bought this spring.&nbsp; But it's OK as I pretty much got rid of all of mine (save for a boring small black handbag) last year.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910384 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 18:28:22 +0000 Glory 910384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diana I am going to enable a new clutch as well. I like some of the ones that BJ has linked to. I think it is worth trying to get one that has the option of the shoulder strap as you will likely be standing and mingling a fair amount. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910324 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:07:56 +0000 Pink 910324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't like gold things that much... I like blue things better.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910318 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:01:31 +0000 missvee 910318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, get a gold one. I'd vote for a more matte finish though. I have a woven matte gold clutch that I bought a few years ago and I like it equally for day or evening events. But I'm not really into sparkle, so take my opinion with a grain of salt :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910315 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:59:59 +0000 CocoLion 910315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the blue one with the salmon dress. &nbsp;I never spend that much time holding my clutches so they are not that important to my whole look. &nbsp;I usually find a place to stash them.<br /><br />With the second dress, I'm not so sure, but the top clutch might work.<br /><br />Of course if you want an excuse to find a new clutch I am happy to enable you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910312 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:56:57 +0000 Pink 910312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ sense it's a wedding event, you might be standing a lot. so it might be nicer to have the top one, but I like the bottom one for a wedding better.<br />BJ, yest, lots of them. :P<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910295 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:41:56 +0000 bj1111 910295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just get a fun gold clutch and be done with it!</p> <p>I like sparkly with a soft not rigid shape. </p> <p>Lots of options here</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=Gold%20clutch" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=Gold%20clutch</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-for-wedding-related-events#post-910290 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:39:31 +0000 Diana 910290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So I think I've found my two dresses for the wedding-related events.&nbsp; The coral chiffon will be for the rehearsal dinner and the floral will be for the mother's day brunch and family luncheon (first is J's family, second is my family) which is more of a garden party level of formality.&nbsp; <br /><br />I will be wearing gold shoes with low wedges and ankle straps (not sure which ones yet). <br /><br />My question is whether either of these clutches will work with these dresses, or should I just get a gold handbag/clutch?&nbsp; <br /><br />ETA: posted some options for gold bags lower down.<br /><br /><br />
