Okay, so you’re going to a holiday lunch with some friends—cozy sweater, favorite jeans, gorgeous pair of boots, but you don’t know what purse you’re going to carry. Your regular evening bag seems a tad too glitzy for daytime and your other choices seem far too casual, since it is the Christmas season. What’s a girl to do?! Buy a new purse, of course! The criteria—it has to be cute and very affordable, because you’ve been buying a lot of Christmas gifts!
Your purchase=The Sparkle Flap Clutch (8″ l x 4″ h x 1″ d) by The Sak, number eight in the “12 Handbags of Christmas.” On sale for only $22.50, there’s really no excuse not to buy it. The jeweled buckle and pearlized trim add just enough sparkle for the Christmas season, yet the knit keeps it casual. It’s available in several colors, even a multicolored stripe, but I think the gray keeps it chic. Added plus=it also comes with a detachable wrist strap!

I agree with you, this bag is perfect for that casual holiday lunch! It’s dress enough to put you in the the holiday spirit, but casual enough to pull off with jeans, some great boots and some funky jewelry.
I had actually done an entry on my favorite holiday handbags, but these are all strictly evening. Nevertheless, I think they are a great way to dress up the oh-so-chic LBD without going over the top. You can see the entry at: http://theshoebuyblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/handbags-for-holidays.html
