A crisp little clutch that’s the color of a sandy beach: fab for vacationing or second best, just pretending to be on vacation locally. Sometimes you want a bag without a hint of vulgarity or drama. While this Elie Tahari bag is seductively nude, it’s as pure and clean as they come. I love how it’s not junked up with hardware – just bare bones leather-trimmed raffia with a simple tab closure. Feel free to accessorize to your heart’s content and add some weight to your look via heavy metal rings and bracelets. Concise and subdued, it’s just the thing for jeweled hands to carry on ladies lunch dates and summer night dates. Just change your garb accordingly and the bag will follow suit. On
ShopBop for $348.
Pair with: An ornate statement necklace brings the drama, and the sand-and-sea palette of fossilized agate and azure stones is in keeping with your naturalistic motif. Judy Geib “Charm of the Unexpected” Necklace, $9,200.
