My first thought when I spotted this Zara clutch was, Oh no! Not because I didn't like it. But because I will HAVE to add it to my growing collection of clutches. It will be the statement maker that will conjure up remarks, both complimentary and quizzical (mostly from my husband, I am sure). It will come across as tough and (Alexander McQueen) punkish, and it will do wonders tempering the too-feminine dresses in my closet. It will be polarizing: I know who among my friends will appreciate it and those who won't. But, oh well for the naysayers.
