"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. Our purses whether they are big or small, are still an accessory and we never walk out of the house with just one accessory, so let us make sure that we have coordinated everything together. For example, if we are going to do rhinestones we want to make sure we have rhinestones some place else. There are always lots of options of what you can choose to pull the thing together. This time I’ve chose a very simple little pair of heels. They could be more for summer because you can’t wear pantyhose with these once, but you can choose a solid toe with a band of rhinestones on it, for winter, spring, summer or fall, so no matter what we are wearing this will go with it. So we are going to do a little more elegant feel and take on a bit of vintage. So if we chose a purse that has a very Victorian feel to it and something that takes us back in history then we might want to put a wrap to coordinate along with that. So it is not going to be just any wrap it needs to have that vintage feel as well. A paisley print almost looks like a tapestry to go along with the time and era that you chose for your purse should work well. If you want to be a little more inventive and fun, there are always things like fans, masks; a lot of these things have feathers upon them, so then you can take that basic black bag and attach to it, again I clipped with some feathers in it. If you want to pull out just the black, that is fine. If you had a clip on earring that had this beautiful green or purple blue in it, you can always put the clip on this side and that will make a statement all on its own. If it is a masquerade ball, the mask is one of the most important parts. So again whatever is on the mask, pull into the purse; we want to be coordinated at all times for every function. "
