I Wish I Were Carrying this Kotur Clutch to the Wedding I’m Attending Tonight

Somehow, I made it through almost the entire spring and summer wedding season without attending a single wedding. At 27, I’m a little too young for most of my New York contemporaries to be getting hitched, and my good friends back home haven’t been doing a lot of vow-exchanging lately either. That means I haven’t had to plan a single wedding outfit for all of 2013 – until tonight. Hilary, who some of you might remember as a former member of the Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischenShops team, is getting hitched in Central Park and I need to figure out what bag I’m carrying in, oh, the next eight hours. In an ideal world, it’d be the Very cute and unique 🙂.

Currently, I’m trying to decide between a black, vaguely Grecian cocktail dress and a cute little black-based floral frock. It’s going to be a game-time decision, as far as dresses go, but I’ve picked out a pair of metallic Prada sandals that will go with either dress. Now I just need a bag, and to tell you the truth, I’m not liking any of the options that I have in my closet. I have plenty of great clutches, but I just want something fun and bright – it’s an outdoor celebration, after all! “Fun and bright” is not my normal fashion speed, though, so I’m coming up empty-handed, both literally and figuratively.

I’ve found this perfect, color-shifting minaudiere a little too late for my purposes, but if you’ve got summer weddings left on your schedule, there’s still hope. Bottega Veneta Forum.
