Tinsley Mortimer Forgets the Fringe, Goes for Studded and Oversized

I have come to two conclusions – (1) that Tinsley Mortimer goes through stages when it comes to clutch preference, (2) and that she likes to buy in multiple colors of the same style.

Her past favorite was the fringe clutch, which she had in different colors (click here to read article). Now, she has shed her love of the fringe in place of a new favorite – a semi-pleated long and oversized studded frame purse. And as expected, she has it in several shades too. Check out these pictures and take note of the clutches:

So, what do you think of Tinsley’s new clutch preference? The subtle flamboyance from the fringe is definitely gone. But in its place is a more classic,  understated, but slightly edgy looking piece.  Do you think she traded up or down?

If you think Tinsley’s new choice is just perfect, then you will probably love these long clutches from Nina:

Get it from Zappos.com for only US$50. That’s definitely not a bad price to pay for looking like a socialite.
