Purple has exploded on the runways and in stores; in short, it is the new "it" color. While this proclamation may put off some who strive for originality in a cliched fashion society, let me persuade you to reconsider the virtues of this royal shade. It compliments a myriad of shades: gray, black, blue/navy, brown, pink, taupe, green, white. (Perhaps the only unfriendly pairings would be yellow and orange, but even then, it could be done for the most daring among us. Personally, I caution against it.) Purple also looks fantastic on all skin tones, is a deep enough shade for fall, and is, quite simply, a beautiful and versatile shade. Since my fortuitous purchase of my purple Burberry dress from last spring, I have been mad for purple, and with so many choices for fall, my only dilemma is choosing which items to buy.

Purple patent! how nice. I look forward to wearing my hairy purple jacket again this year.
I have always adored purple's versatility and verve, but have been quite cautious about buying any more purple than I usually would, concerned perhaps that it would be in one minute and out the next, and I like to buy durable pieces.
But now perhaps I will invest in purple after all! HUGELY
