"Hi! My name is Kathy and we are at My Lords and Ladies. On behalf of expertvillage.com, we are going to talk about purses today. To start things off we don’t think about purses immediately, we have to think about what we are wearing then we will know what kind of purse we want to put with it. If you are going to be doing a casual mode or a little bit business mode, then you would want to use a purse that’s quite simplistic. So you can go with a straight-line purse to begin with. It’s all in what you want it to do. You can take something with a little bit of glitz and shine or you could do something in flat black. This will take you anywhere at anytime. If you have to go out in the evening later on, we can add things to it that at that time but first pick what you need and then embellish upon it. If you are going to be going some place a little more fancy, you might want to something that has a little bit of beadwork. Anything that has beadwork is definitely going to take you into evening wear but if you like to be splashy, take it in the daytime, it can work just about anywhere. We will do a little bit more specific talking about the individual purse for the individual needs in our next clip. "
