Day vs. Night: Best Clutches for the 2014 Wedding Season

It's almost June and that means the 2014 wedding season is about to kick off.  For this summer’s wedding season consider splurging on two alternative clutches- one for day festivities and the other for nighttime soirees.  A sparkly accessory is perfect for carrying those beauty essentials, and a guaranteed way to make a grand statement without overshadowing the bride on her special day.  Just make sure your selections are functional and fashionable so that they're suitable for floating on the dance floor.  Here are my favorite picks of the season.

Tying the Knot

Minka Kelly, Kristin Cavallari, Anna Lynne McCord

It's not exactly the way we wore our knotted tops in the '90s, but the easy-chic, slightly undone feel that comes with that tied top is back. I love the nonchalance of a knotted top with high-waist denim, or over a favorite printed sundress. That said, I'm taking styling notes from some of the most fashionable celebrities. From Anna Lynne McCord's '70s-style take to Kristin Cavallari's breezy elegance, browse the looks below for a celebrity-inspired tutorial in outfitting your knotted tops for Summer.

Minka Kelly's knotted version of the classic white button-down is ideal for a leisurely afternoon out. I love pairing the basic top with a graphic print maxi and summery accessories, like a woven tote and leather sandals.

Make use of a cool chambray top by knotting it over a printed sundress. I love how these summery, classic pieces play off of each other for a sweet seasonal style.

I love Anna Lynne McCord's take on the knotted top for its super '70s feel. To re-create the style, pair high-waisted white denim with a chambray denim shirt. Finish it all off with a hobo bag and a pair of Summer wedges for an easy day look.

For a flirty, fun take on the knotted top, and try a lighter, sleeveless button-down. Add a fun contrast with printed shorts and a pair of sky-high wedges, then tie it all together with a cool fedora and trendy backpack.

Kristin Cavallari's punchy-colored top makes her knotted style all the more playful — and perfect for Summer. Just pair your bright button-down with a loose fitting pencil skirt, and knot at the waist. To finish, add a few neutral accessories, and you've got a great look for brunch or afternoon cocktails.
