What kind of purse do I wear with a long red dress & black shoes? I would like a mini bag.

The kind of purse you choose can be casual or dressy depending on where you are wearing your red dress. A clutch style mini bag is dressier than a cross body style bag. A black color bag will co-ordinate with your black shoes and go with a number of outfits. Then you can accessorize with different jewelry such as metal (gold or silver), rhinestone or pearl. A mini rattan or straw bag would be great in the summer and warm climates. A silver metallic mini can also work and then you can accessorize with silver jewelry. Beaded or sequin bags would look great if you are dressing up. Quality Leather bags are good investments and will work for dressy or casual clothes. You have many choices.
