Borrowed

You may have noticed I've been enjoying styling some designer bags lately, which has been a perk of working at Marijane Boutique. Of course I'm sad they aren't mine, but maybe having them in close proximity will prove to be the motivation I need to actually start saving for one of my own.

This Juliette Jake crocodile wrap clutch made the rounds with the celebrities back in it's heyday of 2010. I love the shape and it's a great size for the essentials, though the wrap design doesn't make for easy access.

I hadn't planned my outfit around it, since this was the first time I'd laid eyes on it, but it seemed like the perfect clutch for my leopard slip dress, which I'd gotten on clearance from Joie at the end of last summer.

  6. Isn't it wonderful how sometimes things just work out? This clutch and dress were clearly meant to be together, so they magically found their way to each other through in a way that required no effort from you. It's funny, I don't remember this clutch making the celebrity rounds at all, but it does look just like something I would have covetted in 2010 despite not being familiar to me at all. Frankly, I think you make it look much more stylish in 2021 than any of us ever would have back then!
