My Ladies and Friday Nights

A while ago, I started a page here to show off my own collection of much loved handbags.
Crappest pic ever.

I posted once, and couldn't work out how to do it the way I wanted, so I didn't do it again.

I'm now showcasing my Ladies and (I hope) providing a little inspiration for a Friday night out on the Madame Clochette Facebook page. (Just type Madame Clochette into the FB search bar and you'll find me easy). The aim is to pick out an outfit as if I was going out ( if only) and team it with a bag I own, and one or two from the Madame Clochette range available on Etsy.
I felt the need for Colour today...

I've blathered on a bit on Facebook about gorgeous ladies pairing their giant handbags they use all week with fabulous outfits over the weekend. It just hurts me to see this happening. It's just so unnecessary. As you'll see from the coming weeks, most of my own collection cost very little. You don't need to spend a lot to look fab, and more importantly, you don't need to stick with the safe black clutch. Although, you will need to at least own one.

I hope to have you dusting off your own collection and maybe even trying something a little different. And hey, maybe you'll even buy a Madame Clochette Cocktail bag. They're one of a kind, just like you. Perhaps you'll just downsize your current monstrosity and stop killing me.

It's a win no matter what.

Oh, and apologies for the not so great photo's  coming your way. I'll aim to actually model the outfits and bags, but nap time is all too fleeting most days!

Love it! You are the inspiration for my ever-increasing collection of bags and the "weekend handbag". It did lose me a game at a baby shower once as I didn't have all my usual bits and pieces in my Giant Handbag. But my outfit rocked ;)
Can't wait to see what you come up with - and if you run out of frocks I have a few you can probably work with...

I've never owned a clutch in my whole LIFE. Why don't I ever have anywhere fancy to go??

What about church? Because I assume all Americans go to church wearing fancy frocks and giant hats...No?

Man I bet you cursed me when you lost that game! But hey, I reckon if the outfit rocked then you won overall, and that's what it's all about isn't it?

rebecca @ olderandwisor said...

HAHAHA! Isn't a frock those brown things that monks wear, with the rope tied around the waist? If that's the case then YES, that's what I wear to church and it you're right: it would look STUNNING with a clutch. ;)

I've got a diamante cross that would be to die for! ;)

It was actually a BRIDAL shower for a cousin-in-law to be (?) so I don't think I had much hope of winning regardless! But my outfit looked good ;)
