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.

    I was just talking to my boyfriend’s mom about yellow bags yesterday! She bought one on her recent Vegas trip and was worried that it was too bright and tacky. It was absolutely lovely, and I think I convinced her of that! Yours is just a wonderful!

    I have an obsession with yellow bags and yellow clutches – especially yellow wallets cause they stand out when they’re at the bottom of my handbag!

    Very pretty! I saw those sandals at Tar-jay. They had them in so many cute colors, I was intrigued, but usually sandals with the between-the-toes thingy are a problem for me. How do you like them? Are they comfie?

    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/
