Add A Practical Pop Of Color With This Oh-So-Essential Clutch

It may be a bit too early to fully embrace the fall uniform — roomy sweaters and skinnies, grandpa cardis and skirts — but we think it's perfectly okay to start thinking about how you'll spice it up. Our weapon of choice? A statement accessory that injects a bold, saturated hue into our signature palette of neutrals.

This simple-but-chic clutch from accessories haven Francesca's does just that, and then some — it's roomy enough to hold your essentials, has a long strap for converting to a crossbody style, and (here's the best part) it comes in four ultra-bright shades. We're partial to the orange, but the hot pink and yellow versions will be guaranteed mood-lifters come November, when you've been living in neutral knits and black tights for way too long. See? Told you we like to think ahead.
