Pouch Play

Nothing weighs down your style quite like an oversized bag with about 10 extra pounds of... "how did that get in there?" stuff. Lately I've been lightening my accessories load with pouches for daytime meetings and evenings out—see my recent favorites from Emily Rosendahl, Celine, Gigi New York and a vintage find. They all hold the perfect amount of necessities and keep me from lugging around too much. Here's a look at some pretty pouches I've been coveting.

I have plenty of small clutches but never thought of the idea of a large pouch as a "clutch" alternative. I am so inspired!

I love your Celine pouch you posted the other day. I think they are the greatest. I love the casual feel of them when a clutch feels too overdressed. Teri

I love the idea of cleaning out some of the extra accessories and fitting in your essentials in a pouch! All the ones you have pictured are gorgeous!

i love this idea of the oversized clutch. i always find myself struggling to make large oversized bags work without weighing down my body.

I love small clutches but I don't own any oversized clutches and your post is totally inspiring me to keep an eye out for the perfect oversized clutch. Thanks so much!
