Clutches are a girl’s best friend

I’m a lover of huge bags. I wasn’t always this way but somehow I have found a happy medium between the too small, depth deprived handbag and the purse that is as deep Marianas trench. Unfortunately, when attending functions in places with more than 100 people, a big purse only increase the amount of congestions. If every girl in the club had a big bag it would be like the Beltway at 5:00 P.M.

In come the clutch; small, functional and super cute. It also serves many purposes. A clutch forces you to downsize. In the same manner that a big purse causes you to put things in it you would never use like superglue, a can opener and duct tape, a clutch does just the opposite. Just pack what you need! I usually pack my ID, bank card, AAA card (I’m not changing anything but my clothes!) and insurance card. I also pack my make up powder and lip gloss. (Shout out to Chanel’s Pagoda! the best gloss ever!)

A clutch makes it easier to navigate through social settings without having your purse knocked off your shoulder running the risk of an altercation. *sidebar* My ex’s ex did that to me at the club one time, I could have flicked off but it amused me more that she is affected so much by me. Its called being grown, sexy and over it  So back to the clutch. Other than it saving a chick from a black eye, it keeps you looking nice and well put together. An outfit can really be finished off by a nice eye catching clutch. Here are some other functional uses of the Clutch:

A fan

A shield (they see me but they don’t see me!)

A weapon: keep your clutch under your left arm, when necessary take your right hand pull it out and back hand quickly, then slide it back before they realize what hit em. Kinda like Pootie Tang’s father’s belt!

A stain blocker, if you get a stain on the front of your outfit just hold the clutch there you’ll still be fly!
