Clutch Skye Blue | Elly

Do you wear a lot of tan, camel, or rust? Sky blue is the complementary opposite of orangey-browns. Throw this clutch on with a tan linen jumpsuit, and watch the outfit come alive. It breaks the "beige boredom" without being aggressive.

Try head-to-toe denim. A light wash jean jacket, white jeans, and this bag. The blue tones will harmonize without matching exactly, creating a very "off-duty model" vibe. Do you wear a lot of tan, camel, or rust

There is a running joke in my household that I have a "bag problem." If you ask my husband, he’ll tell you that I don’t actually walk into a room—the handbag enters first, and I am merely trailing behind it.

Because Sky Blue is technically a shade of the sky, it functions as a neutral. It goes with the obvious summer whites and creams (a white linen dress + Sky Blue Elly = chef’s kiss). But where this bag really shines is in the unexpected pairings.

If you are looking for a sign to step out of your neutral comfort zone this season, this is it. Trust me—you’ll be looking for excuses to go out just so you can carry it.
