Purple is the New (Cash) Black

Coat For as long as I have been paying attention (since infancy), I have noticed that Fall hues typically exist within the black, brown and gray family: cold weather equals drab hues. Don't get me wrong, I love a drab hue, and gray is actually my favorite color, which in turn gives me full authority to put it in its place, this season, on the bench. Fall in and Fall out, you rarely see a vibrant color with a  starring role. Vibrant colors usually make guest appearances for Fall as accent colors or as the side-kick of black or gray. Yet, Fall 2008 is an explosion of vibrant colors; namely rich, bright purple. The color has been seen on coats, shoes, dresses and beyond. So update your look for Fall and add some vibrant purples to your wardrobe. Its an easy fix that will easily transform a wardrobe full of last fall's reruns.

The top three easy updates are; a purple coat, seen pictured above from JCrew, a gorgeous, versatile dress of the same hue and a good-looking trouser that will rejuvenate older blouses and sweaters with a pop of purple. This JCrew Double Cloth Lady Coat sells for $330 with 2% Cash back; and it couldn't be more of a deal. It is made exclusively for JCrew by an expert Italian miller that has been producing wool fabrics for eighty years. It is truly an amazing quality for the price.Alexanderwang_2

Next, this Alexander Wang Tank Wrap Dress is figure-flattering and of course, beautifully purple.  It is also on sale for 30% off at Shopbop, now only $366.80, with 3% Cash Back.   Trouser And the last insta-update for fall is a Corduroy Trouser from Banana Republic. This pair of pants represents the ideal union of modern and classic. Plus, they are only $89 and will seamlessly take the place of your perennial black pants this season. So welcome purple into the fall color palette and let the brilliant color have its time in the spotlight!
