it was a dark and stormy night.....

The weather in Sydney has been beautiful lately.  As friends in my mother-hemisphere are gearing up for Autumn, we, in the southern-hemisphere, are getting ready for spring!  Tonight, however, is dark and stormy.

And what am I doing on a dark and stormy night?  Looking at clutches!  I own one clutch, given to me by a friend.  It's a gorgeous burgundy, eel skin number with matching coin purse.  Very vintage glam, and although I'm absolutely in love with it, I haven't quite worked out how to wear a clutch.  I'm such a physical person, and my hands are always moving when I'm talking, I just can't figure out how to hold a clutch and schmooze as well!

Any hints and tips?

I also have a secret crush on a cream coloured clutch at my favourite local consignment store.  It's beautifully elegant, and although it's not expensive enough to break the bank, I haven't bought it because I don't need it.  I am unemployed, after all.  And really, shouldn't I learn how to carry one clutch before purchasing another?
