Video Transcript

"Hi this is Lindsay Colbus from Lindsay Colbus accessories and on behalf of Expert Village today I'm going to show you how to choose a handbag. Now I'm going to talk to you about the dos and don't of choosing a handbag. As I mention before don't you don't want to bring any corduroy rules, you don't want to wear something a bag that is totally made for a evening outfit it just won't work and it won't look right. So I'm going to show you some examples we are going to start with what I'm wearing right now. I'm pretty dress down and wearing a solid black tee shirt, corduroy pants and flip flops you can say that I'm dressed I guessed I'm dressed out, I'm dressed comfortably it is like a weekend outfit so I won't necessarily won't be wearing this to the office. So if I had to pick a bag I would probably go with the Chloe saddle bag right here this would work great. Again it is very durable, it is perfect for everyday, I'm obviously not going out to any major evening events in the outfit that I'm wearing. So this bag would really be appropriate. Now in terms of a bag that will not be appropriate. This black snake skin bag right here again this is like a platen leather and it is very flashy and very in your face and honestly it is very dressy. You see it has pleated work right here which kind of gives it a fancy feel, has a strap that you can either tuck in or wear which is that is a big sign of a evening bag. A lot of them would have straps that you can either tuck away that no one could see them or you can pull them out to wear along your shoulder for easy use. So this right here would not exactly be a great thing. I could be but just in terms that I'm so dressed down right now it probably won't be my number one chose."
