Fall 2008 - Peel Me A Grape

Passionate purple. The color of fuzzy singing dinosaurs and cartoon apes comes to your closet! Purple is a pretty major color - connotations of royalty and religion combine with the strange appeal of kiddie characters. It's bold and vivid, and certainly much more daring than neighboring navy or lavender. Lots of gowns appear in this color - Oscar predictions?

Keep it chic by not going overboard, and choose a purple more on the plum side instead of screaming grape. This way, your look will be grown-up, leaving the kiddie-show far behind.
