Fall Must Haves: Purple

This fall, bland colors don’t have to be part of your fashion repertoire. A big color this season is purple, and you can apply it to any article of clothing. Shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and accessories – you can be assured that you will be in style with purple. We love purple as a shoe color; it’s unexpected and can really make an otherwise neutral and toned down look pop. Try pairing skinny black jeans, a blousy black top, and a simple silver necklace with high-heeled purple booties for a modern twist on a classic look. We like the Miss Me Agnes suede purple bootie for only $29.94 on shopstyle.com. For those of you that are intimidated by the idea of a purple bootie, a classic purple pump is sure to amp up your look without being as edgy as a bootie. A darker purple color also serves as more of a neutral accent than the brighter options. Franco Sarto makes a classic colored violet Mary Jane pump that is available at Zappos.com for $88.95.  Purple also showed up on the runways for Fall 2009, such as the purple suit in Donna Karan’s fashion show. This just goes to show that you can wear the color purple for work and for play.
