Need to break ban for this. Help me find....

Not to be on your case all the time, lilykind, but are you SURE you don't have something you could make due with or borrow from a friend? Also, try checking thrift shops. I found a great clutch for less than five bucks at a thrift store once.

No problem! I totally apprecaite it actually!

I went through my stuff as I was packing last night to discover that my go-to vintage ivory beaded clutch no longer closes, and that the chain strap broke apart.

I don't have very many fashionable friends in LA either...all my good friends are scattered across the country now.

pssst... how'd the ivory cardi/shrug look with the dress? are you going to wear the combo? sorry if i missed a post about it earlier... just curious what you had decided.

glad you found a clutch in you collection... i was about to loan you one of mine via mail.

lilykind what about that bronzy one they have at BR w/ the gold clasp? too dark? or what about just carrying your lv speedy w/ it? i know it's probably too big but could it be a feasible option just in case you don't find a clutch?

and if i had anything that worked, i'd totally let you borrow, sadly, i don't!

That bronzy one didn't fit my digital camera. I actually considered using my speedy 25 (I figured I could pack a change of clothes in there so I could help w/cleanup)...would that be terribly tacky?

hotcocoa, I decided to rock the shrug with the dress. Since the pin was missing on mine, all you see is the brown cummerbund at the waist so I figured all would be well. The wedding is in a really small town so I figure no matter what I'll still be more put together than 1/2 the people there.

I just want to say...you girls are so sweet to offer.

honestly, lilykind i really think the speedy's your best option. you have quite a bit of stuff to fit into a clutch (which makes finding the perfect size one difficult) and the speedy's a great bag. i'd just carry that.
