I bought this clutch for a dance but it arrived too late (on the last published arrival date) - my fault for not wanting to pay the cost of expedited shipping.  I'm sure I will be able to use it for other events though.  I chose it because it was a little bigger than most evening clutches, so it will work well for that purpose.  It's color is versatile enough that it should work well with many different outfits and shoes.
