save or splurge: leopard foldover clutch

So to be truthful, I don't know how I feel about the leopard foldover clutch trend. Let me explain: I see them on blogs, think they are fantastic and when I see Victoria rocking hers out, I'm just convinced I need one and would use it daily. Then I remember, I need a caryall for many reasons (one being to defend my personal space on the Metro during my morning commute). So a foldover clutch mayyyyy not be too practical for my every day life. And while I may be able to justify pricer purchases as birthday presents to myself, I think I have to wait until next year to use that excuse again. So my solution? Find one at a lower price point to internally compromise. I'm still on my 30 day shopping freeze so I'll have to wait a few more weeks before snagging my favorite alternative- the Gap clutch.
