They tend to be on the smaller side (unless you opt for an oversized version) so you don’t need to pack that much with you. I love a clutch, as it dresses up any look and adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

The clutch purse is perfect for the evening. No one wants to walk around with 10 extra pounds on their shoulder. And second, the lighter the bag the less I sweat. First, you just don’t need that much when it’s 90 degrees outside. I keep my haul smaller and pare down to just the essentials and go with the bare minimum.

The crossbody bag is perfect for the day. I prefer to use clutches or cross body bags in the Summer, keeping it simple and light is key in the hot Summer months. But in the Summer I like to switch it up with a fun, cute purse. And it happens to be what I’m currently loving right now! In terms of purses, I use my black tote year round for work. Hello ladies! Can you believe it’s the end of June already? Where did the month go? With about an official week of Summer under our belts, it’s a great time to talk about essential Summer purses.
