"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. Once again, we are going to decorate that large bag but this time instead of heading to the closet, we are heading back to the jewelry box because it is a bigger bag and we can go with bigger jewelry. A very long strand of beads can make quite a statement and if they are hooked together, then all you have to do is put it around to one handle not two because we have to get it into bag, let it hang down and simply tie a knot. Once we have the knot in place we know we are not going to lose it because we are going to want to wear it as jewelry again. We have to be a little bit more careful with the beads. They do catch on to things but as long as you are careful, it will have a great look. Again, colors coordinate. This one has iris blues in it always goes well with black; summer time, pinks, yellows, take it into the pastels. Whatever seasons, whatever the need, there is always something in the jewelry box. Let us just brighten this up a little bit; here is a very elaborate piece. Once again, we have a clasp on the back, so we will take it over one side, this one has some feathers, so once we get that tied tight, this gives s a completely. This is fun, this is fluffy, this is me having a great time. We are not doing the elegant look here. We are doing fun. This can be done with just about anything that you can find. Let us take it to a little bit more elegant state; gold and black is always good. Let us put some clear crystal with it, same concept. We are just going to take it, drape it. We would tie a knot in there but this gives you the effect between tassels, gold, clear. This could take you to anything that is a little bit more upscale. We take that away, basic black always works on everything. So once again take that black necklace, I am choosing something a little more bubbly, a little more fun and again, our plain black bag has a little bit of pizzazz. So whatever you have going on in that jewelry box, bring it out and merry it up with the purses. "
