grab bag

it's time to make a decision. here's my criteria for the clutch:

1. designed as is. no time for custom orders
2. under $50. right now i just can't justify $70 + tax for a handbag. If so, I might as well just buy the nelle clutch.
3. either it really compliments my dress or it's a standout piece
4. not too far away in the world. I need it by the wedding!

And here they are:

# ONE

I like the shape, length and sweet yet elegant design. By SowsEar

#TWO

I've been loving this clutch something awful but I'm not sure about the structure and it's in Madrid. Eek. I would use this clutch all the time. By christinazani

#THREE

This looks like the previous clutch's more casual cousin living stateside. The price is right but is it too informal? Love the colors. Blue Floral Clutch by TulipCouture

#FOUR

kind of heart this one. a lot. and for some reason it's cheaper. still I am not a fan of those shiny silver frames. Aqua Bloom Clutch by TulipCouture.

#FIVE

i'd swap the pink bow and and snag some of my teal velveteen ribbon.

They all fit the above criteria save the shipping time for #2 in Madrid but I can email her to see if two weeks is doable. I may just open my folder and say yes to the first one I click on.
