How to Create a Colorful Studded Clutch

We’re all about studs here at Brit HQ. We love putting them on sneakers, sandals, bracelets, and, even, barrettes! They’re a quick and stylish way to add a bit of edge to just about anything, including a coin purse, clutch, or wallet. Today, we’ll show you how to make your own colorful studs and add them to three basic zip pouches.

Materials:

– neon spray paint

– spray shellac

– leather zip pouches

– studs

Tools:

– needle nose pliers

American Apparel

their website. So easy!

First, it’s time to color those studs. Spray paint two coats and let dry for 30 minutes. Spray a coat of spray shellac on all of your studs, and let dry overnight. This will seal the paint in. Be sure to only spray a very thin coat though, otherwise the painted studs will become gummy.

Lay out which studs you’d like to go with which purse.

We’ll start with the teal wallet. Lay out a design you like and mark it on the wallet with a marker or pen. Use a safety pin to poke through where the studs will need to go through the wallet. If you don’t do this first, you’ll have a much harder time poking studs through. Push studs through and use needle nose pliers to secure on the inside of the wallet.

This one’s getting there, slowly but surely.

Continue for your whole pattern, and you’re done!

We did the same thing with a bright orange coin purse.

And a purple clutch.

They actually make a pretty cute set altogether, don’t you think?

You loved our fall trends for women over 50 story so much we just couldn't wait to share winter ideas with you! Though there's not a huge difference between what's popular during both seasons, there are small ways you can transition your wardrobe. From tailored denim to scarf coats (our favorite), here are five winter trends women over 50 can seamlessly wear!

Explore the top 5 winter trends women over 50 can easily style

  1. Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt
  2. Mango Suede Leather Loafers
  3. Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag
  4. Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater
  5. Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

1. Tailored Denim

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor The Denim Trouser

Denim is a timeless classic that's been around for as long as any of us can remember. It also comes in a variety of styles, making it easy to style no matter your age. What makes tailored denim so special — like this pair of Ann Taylor trousers — is it's ability to be appropriate for business casual work settings. The classic rinse wash is more ideal for cooler winter days while the flared hemlines give ankle books a nice peek-a-boo feature.

GAP

GAP Classic Button-Down Jean Shirt

A classic button-down shirt with non-stretch denim is another easy style to wear because it can go with almost anything you own. Bootcut jeans? Yep! A suede midi skirt? We love a western moment! However, the most important thing we appreciate about this shirt is that it's made of 95% cotton.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt

Denim skirtshave been been on the style scene for a while and we're sure they're here to stay. To avoid baring too much skin during winter, opt for a midi option like this piece from Banana Republic. It has a similar flared hemline like the Ann Taylor Denim Trousers, making it appropriate for 9 to 5 days, brunch with friends on Saturday, or church on Sundays!

2. Playful Textures

Mango

Mango Suede Leather Loafers

Loafers are an absolute staple during fall and winter, hence why we keep talking about them so much! They're a chic way to elevate even the most basic t-shirt and jeans outfit combinations, plus they work for everyone. Get a suede pair to add subtle texture to your outfit for a fun chic moment.

Old Navy

Old Navy High-Waisted Corduroy Wide-Leg Pants

Corduroy pants are another winter staple that continue to be recycled throughout the years. No matter how hard we try, we keep coming back to them which is why we think they're a great style option for women over 50. Because of their texture, these pants can also add subtle texture to your overall look without creating a huge statement.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Joe's Jeans by Dani Michelle Mia Crop Leather Pants

If you want to wear something a little bolder, you can't go wrong with black leather pants. They're a must-have during colder months, especially if they're lined!

This pair gives you the option to wear them with calf or knee-high boots so that they elongate your frame. Ankle boots are always cute, but they'd slightly throw off the dimensions of these pants! Once you have your chosen footwear, add a cute cardigan or sweater to it for a cozy look that'll receive compliments!

3. Animal Print

Tecovas

Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag

Leopard print is always trending, but that doesn't mean that's the only animal pattern you have to wear. Cow print is another fun way to add a pop of texture to your outfit if you're wearing something monochromatic. Or, you can easily copy the outfit above and look equally as stylish.

P.S. Don't be surprised if you see someone from B+C's editorial team wearing this look!

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Oversized Snake Print Midi Dress

It's okay if wearing cow print feels weird to you because that's not your only option! Snake print is another pattern you can wear, especially if it looks like this Banana Republic midi dress. Instead of the typical depiction of snakes, this dress looks like someone zoomed in on scales and created something that feels more refined.

Sam Edelman

Sam Edelman Linnie Bit Mule

Add a touch of zebra print to your winter outfit with these calf hair mules by Sam Edelman. They still have a bold factor like the Tecovas tote bag or the Banana Republic snake print dress, but they're not as in-your-face.

4. Shades Of Green

J.Crew

J.Crew Daphne Topcoat

Everyone needs a nice topcoat in their life, preferably in the shade green! We're 100% biased about that because green brings out a person's inner glow and helps ground them based on color psychology. Also, the fact you could wear a sweatsuit with this coat and still look put together makes us excited to share it with you.

Target

Target Bucket Crossbody Bag

Add a pop of color to your outfit with this cute crossbody bag found at Target, everyone's favorite place to shop. The minimal gold hardware gives it such a sleek appearance that we're personally fighting the urge to buy it in black too!

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater

You can always rely on a sweater to be easy to style! Abercrombie & Fitch's funnel neck version is amazing for anyone who wants to wear a turtleneck without feeling like they're struggling to breathe. We understand they're not always comfortable, but you won't get that with this cute style!

5. Cardigan & Coats

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

Are you ready to give up cardigans? We figured you'd say no so we're giving the best of both worlds — a cardigan coat. Anthropologie always has the cutest winter styles so this brushed texture was too cozy-looking to ignore. You know what's even more exciting about it? Anthropologie is literally giving you an OOTD idea you can easily recreate at home!

NA-KD

NA-KD Wool Scarf Detail Coat

Protect your neck from the brutal winter winds with NA-KD's scarf coat that'll keep you warm and chic. It's slightly oversized so you're able to wrap yourself up and not have to worry about looking like you didn't put any effort into your look.

Quince

Quince Double-Faced Merino Wool Scarf Coat

Go for a shorter option for the days where it's not as cold. You'll still get the same effect from a longer scarf coat without feeling like you'll trip over the hemline. Since Quince's design is wool, you'll still be nice and toasty! Just add a pair of gloves so that your hands don't freeze!

As much as we love talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce...Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce deserve their time in the spotlight too! They have a loving and hilarious dynamic that's somehow made room for not one, but three kids. And guess what? They recently announced that baby number 4 is coming soon! From their very funny announcement to everything they've said since, there's a lot of fun to unpack here.

Here's everything to know about Jason Kelce & Kylie Kelce's exciting pregnancy!

When did Jason and Kylie announce she's pregnant?

Amazon Prime

Kylie Kelce shared the huge news on Instagram November 22nd! Of course grandma Donna Kelce was the first to leave a comment. She wrote, "🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 Love it!!!" Brittany Mahomes also commented by writing, "Ahhhhhh Congrats you guys!!!🥹🤍."

How did Jason and Kylie's other daughters react?

Amazon Prime

In Kylie's same Instagram post, her and Jason's daughters can be seen expressing a range of emotions. There's an 'Eek' expression from their oldest daughter Wyatt, a happy look from their middle daughter Elliott, and pure tears from baby girl Bennett. Kylie wrote, "I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! 🤷♀️"

When is Jason and Kylie's fourth baby due?

Amazon Prime

That's TBD! Since the couple just announced their fourth pregnancy, only time will tell when baby girl will arrive. Knowing Jason and Kylie's willingness to be open about their lives, we wouldn't be surprised if they decide to share a due date.

How are Jason and Kylie preparing to be a family of six?

Amazon Prime

Jason Kelce is taking the news of being an official girl dad like a champ. He told E! Newshe's "got it pretty easy" because "the clothes are all going to be hand-me-downs or already bought." Not only that, but they've already secured a baby crib! However, Jason was quick to add Kylie's also getting ready for their daughter's arrival. "Kylie's definitely preparing more than I am, because she's actually growing the human being."

“I love my kids so much, and especially my daughters,” he added. "I was telling somebody out there because they're expecting their first — and they look at you. They smile at you. There's just a way that kids have to warm your soul in a way that nothing else can.”

He's also excited to watch his daughters grow up with a new sibling. "And hopefully we'll welcome a fourth into this world, and we'll be able to watch them fight and tear each other apart and all the good stuff."

Though he admits finding "patience" throughout parenthood is difficult, he feels "the most rewarding thing is just smiles."
