Ooh: this clutch from Cuyana looks extremely versatile. It's not unusual to see a clutch styled with multiple straps, but it IS unusual for me to like the way it looks in almost every view. As a clutch without any strap: cute! As a crossbody (as pictured): cute! As a shorter shoulder bag with a chain strap: cute!
This limey chartreuse color is not my favorite, but it does seem to be the hot color of the summer, and Cuyana just released a zillion bags with this seasonal color. It does look really beautiful with navy, medium blues, and more.
The bag comes in three core colors in pebbled leather (black, red, and “stone cappuccino”), as well as suede (“clay/cherry”) and another black version in “lamb/snake” (but it just looks matte to my eyes).
The clutch itself is $248-$298, with a variety of adjustable straps being $98-$198.

Just curious since we’re all anonymous: what does everyone do for work?
Lawyer. I wonder how many of these we will get.
This place used to be almost 100% lawyers and law students but I think now it’s much more diverse.
Also a lawyer.

Has anyone seen a good lightweight cardigan? Looking for when I want to have my arms covered but am wearing a dress like on a date night
J Crew or JCF are my go-to for lightweight cardigans
same.
Garnet Hill’s linen essential cardigan is lightweight and comes in a variety of colors:

I like the 90s minimal vibes of cardigans at Cos and Theory right now.
Just a random follow up to earlier with someone saying “people keep repeating this as truth but I’ve never noticed a difference with my heavier and lighter weights.” I wanted to clarify that it’s not that people treat you better at 120 and then worse at 135. For a long time I was an active size 8 or 10. then for a long time was a size 14, sometimes 16. I was a size 14 for years, and that is not particularly small. I recently had the weight creep up to be a size 18, and the difference in how the general world treats me was dramatic. It’s not that anyone called me fat or was like actively mean to me – it’s just like all of a sudden the regular social niceties kind of disappeared? And this year have lost 25 pounds- I don’t even think I look that different but suddenly noticed the switch back. This isn’t from people hitting on me or desiring me in anyway- I am talking like run of the mill interactions.
