"Hello I'm Nequan Peartree from Shoe Diva located in Wilmington, North Carolina and we are going to talk about how to select shoes to wear with a handbag. First of all when you are selecting shoes to wear with a handbag the options are endless. It is always going to depend of course on your outfit but if you are just wanting to pick a shoe and select the handbag to go with that my first rule is that the matching shoes and handbags throw them out the window, it is not necessary any more. That is too 1990's and so you can always pair a shoe and a handbag that doesn't necessarily match in the same color palate. I have a couple different examples here. As you can look at this handbag that has a lot of different colors in it. This is a very chic handbag. So it would of course be paired with a shoe that is of a similar nature that is very chic and it would always depend on the outfit. If you are going for something that is contrasting then a printed shoe also works well with a simple color palate. If you are going for a printed shoe you want to kind of keep the handbag a little bit more simple. You don't want to mix up too many textures there and those are tips on how to select shoes to match with handbags."
