My Day of Holding an Oversized Clutch

Oversized clutches are all the rage this season. If you haven’t ‘tried out’ this trend yet, imagine holding onto a bag with your hands the whole time you’re walking around and trying to rush to your next destination.

So last summer, I had plans to have lunch with a friend of my mum’s at a fancy restaurant. It was a rare occassion for me since I usually don’t spend more than a sandwich’s worth of money on lunch, or actually get up early enough to have lunch out (-hey, it was the summer holidays!) The thought of a fancy lunch put me in a weird, cheerful mood, which prompted me to only carry a large clutch. I was probably imagining myself to be a Hollywood girl about to be photographed by the paparazzis. Like I said, my brain was clearly not awake yet. So I painfully transferred most things from my normal, larger hangbag into a smaller, oversized clutch. My clutch is basically a larger version of this Marni clutch. It’s very simple and made of patent leather.
