Is this really really hideous of a bit of fun?

[Pebblepaint]

I need a bag for a party, I thought this might liven up a beautiful halterneck but plain navy dress? I've got subtle jewellery in similar colours, silver sandals. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vintage-Peacock-Antique-Turquoise-Catching/dp/B07GYDLFV3/ref=sxin_21_pa_sp_phone_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.48fa09c6-2a58-4933-8db1-343a9239c229%3Aamzn1.sym.48fa09c6-2a58-4933-8db1-343a9239c229&crid=2XQEOTPF8QLFR&cv_ct_cx=sparkly+clutch+bags&keywords=sparkly+clutch+bags&pd_rd_i=B07GYDLFV3&pd_rd_r=87c7f955-7c22-4349-bc8e-b4c0553e8fd1&pd_rd_w=hKzuR&pd_rd_wg=DKhKt&pf_rd_p=48fa09c6-2a58-4933-8db1-343a9239c229&pf_rd_r=M84FR4K8P63YGDM8965X&qid=1692813829&sprefix=sparkly+clutch%2Caps%2C113&sr=1-2-3151814a-ab8a-4f93-b60d-ebb02494d88d-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&psc=1

I've never bought anything from QVC. I bought it from an independent shop at least 20 years ago.

I feel sorry for your mother.

The more you post the more bewildered and amused I find myself 😅

You present as the arbiter of taste, dismissive of us other MN plebs and our dreadful high street (polyester > nuclear war) suggestions and post lots of extortionately priced shapeless sacks but then when it all calms down to an even keel you turn up with stuff like the click clutch mini-mary poppins embroidery bag circa 1993 and those fucking demented cat shoes.

Shine on you crazy diamond

I personally wouldn’t buy it but it sounds like it will go well your outfit, if you like it go for it!

The cat shoes weren't mine but I thought they were amusing. The poster who posted the cat shoes got such a strip torn off her she asked for her posts to be withdrawn.

I think it’s nice. Definitely good to add a bit of sparkle.

I got this version last year, was looking for a clutch for DD's graduation and stumbled across this for myself. I haven't used it yet but plan to build a wedding guest outfit around it. It is very beautiful and very OTT. Can be used with or without strap so handy for finger food events too.

I like it except for the hardware which should be gold to go with those colours.

It’s fun, a bit different, eye-catching - I love it.

Go for it

DD had that exact purse for prom - it matched the colours in her dress and the colours of her hair!

So pretty

Love it but also, it's just a bag, they can't be flattering or unflattering really so surely they're the fun part of an outfit and you should just choose what you like?

I reckon it’ll get lots of comments, which can be a nice breaker into chat if there are some at the party you don’t know so well

Plus rest of outfit sounds a good match

It depends how you dress it.

Its a bit ott for a casual event and you would have to match the colors well but with say a teal satin slip gown or something it could be lovely.

I LOVE IT!!

I love it, it's the kind of bag my Dd (20s) would have for a night out.

I like it!

That's lovely!

I have it, or at least something very similar. I don’t recall anyone pointing or sniggering behind their hands, so go for it!

Funtastic!

It's gorgeous!

I bloody love it!

I have that bag and absolutely love it! It gets compliments all the time.

Love it
