![lucky brand clutch bag [Guest Post] Handbag of the Week: Lucky Brand Convertible Clutch](http://www.thefashionpolice.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/lucky-brand-clutch-bag.jpg "lucky-brand-clutch-bag")

I am a huge fan of clutches. They force me to pare down my needs for the day/evening/event to the bare essentials. Giant wad of keys won’t fit? House key only, check! Can’t get my wallet in? Credit, card, cash, and ID will be fine. And doing this makes me realize how much extraneous stuff I carry around every other day. * And so my clutch collection grows.
This clutch seems to walk the fine line of trendy and classic. The diagonal zipper and stitching fit in with the current All Embellishment, All The Time trend, but the sleek shape and subdued colors keep the clutch versatile and easy to wear. The strap option is a great touch, too. I’d use this during the day on the weekend or out at night. It comes in four colors (one is called Green Envy**) and is $139 at Nordstrom.
* And by extraneous, I mean super important when I am lugging it around. Um, who DOESN’T need a book, a magazine, a water bottle, and a snack with them at all times?
** How can this not be on your Christmas/Channuka/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice list already?

King of the Stuck-Together-Clothes
Alarming news has reached us this afternoon, readers: it would seem that the stuck-together-clothes of the world have found themselves a KING.
Yes, leggings have gone and gotten themselves attached to a top. And, technically, this should just create some kind of unitard: bad, maybe, but not the worst thing we’ve seen here. Somehow, though, this garment manages to be much more bizarre than a mere unitard, because by “net top” they mean “short-sleeved net cardigan” and by “leggings” they mean “fishnet knee-highs”:
Fun with stuck-together-clothes
This is the reason The Fashion Police developed our rule on stuck-together-clothes in the first place. This is what happens when these things get out of hand, you see: you start off with a simple cardigan-stuck-to-shirt crime, and before you know what hit you, you’re walking around being all zany and keerrrraazzeee with your socks attached to your cardigan.
We don’t know what’s most surprising, either: the fact that this exists at all, or the fact that it’s sold out.

Just to be clear, here, “Obscene Boot” isn’t our name for these leather waders – it’s apparently Jeffrey Campbell’s own assessment. Not that he’ll get much argument from us, mind you . They may not be “obscene” exactly, but hey, if the shoe thigh high boot fits…
Waders are technically “hot” at the moment, and of course, we have Prada’s Autumn/Winter 09 collection to blame or thank for that, depending on your point of view.
What IS your point of view, though? Do you love these? Or are you as un-enthused by them as we are? (And pairing them with a pair of acid wash jeans? Nice work, Karmaloop!)

On the one hand, we’re pleased to see that the holes that’ve been popping up in clothes recently have started to take some kind of shape – and a nice one, at that. Come on, you all know how much we like bows!
On the other hand, though: way to make our calves look bigger than they are, Topshop! And to give them an odd, “ridged” look when viewed from the front!
So we’re undecided about these. We’re guessing the addition of socks in a contrasting colour underneath could make these quite interesting, but then again, they’d have to be knee-high and very thin to fit under those skinny legs, and tights-under-jeans are one of those things we just don’t like, so we’re thinking cold legs, with blue-coloured bows on them would probably be the order of the day here.
What do you think, though? If you like them, they’re £50 from Topshop.

Oh, look! It’s the opera! And it’s being performed on your crotch! That’s just… just… actually, we’ll be honest: we just don’t know WHAT to make of this one. What do YOU make of it, readers? It’s 945 euros at the D&G online store if you do…
