Anat B. Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Bag, Vintage Belt, Switch Wooden Ring, Mossimo Sandals

By glimpsing inside my closet, it’s clear that I have a very specific sense of style.  Every once in a while though, I think it’s important to add elements to my wardrobe that are slightly unexpected.  When I first visited Rebecca Minkoff’s online sample sale, I knew that the black or brown Clutch bag would have been the most practical choice.  Instead, I opted for the neon yellow patent leather.  Sure it doesn’t match with every outfit, but it certainly makes a cheerful statement that’s perfect for summer.

  12. I love your clutch! I got my own neon yellow clutch this spring, cheap at Century 21. The label is Mundi Westport, and even though it doesn’t look like it in the photo, it really is neon yellow. :) See it here http://thenorwegiannewyorker.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/my-lovely-yellow-clutch/
