Purple Reign: Fall's new "it" color

It's official, purple is the new black (or at least it is for this season until next season where red may be the new black and then back to black as the new black)! Whether you like it or not it's the new "it" color for Fall. But don't start getting all nervous and stressed out about wearing head to toe purple (a la Prince). You can always inject color with a cute bag or shoe. I have a couple of items I'm currently rocking including a hot suede bag and a regal sheath dress (very Michelle Obama).

Here's the dress I have, currently available on sale for $74.99 at Banana Republic (no longer available online)

Another hot accessory this season, the clutch, in the "it" color available at www.bananarepublic.com for $97.50 (Now you're ready for Purple Rain 2, The Sequel)
