J. Crew Fleur Amour Clutch
MM Couture Sequin Vest
As a gal who nearly always fills her handbag to the brim (it doesn't
matter what size purse I'm rockin' on any particular day -- it's always
full!), buckle closures have always been my savior when it comes to
making sure I don't lose some of my precious loot on the go. Sure,
buckles are known for being functional -- closures, cinching,
tightening, etc -- but nowadays I can't help but notice that the hottest
bags for fall are buckling up for fashion rather than function!
Like
this season's hottest multi-buckled cuffed sandals, buckled-up
bags give that hardware-embellished look in a way that's more
practical and less garish than tired studs, and more
everyday-appropriate than jewels or rhinestones. Even if you're not a
fan of excessive hardware that's strictly for looks rather than serving
a particular function, multiple buckles give that look of sensibility
that's still stylish yet also slightly edgy.
