Accessory Obsession: Minaudieres That Make the Party Cut
The minaudiere has long been an evening favorite of ours. We love that we can carry it in one hand like a clutch or over the shoulder like a crossbody. It lends our after-hours style a “Who’s THAT girl?” sophistication we’re totally obsessed with.
Here are six of our fave party minaudieres and what we think you should pair them with…
