Purple Hue








Purple is the new black. Well not quite. I mean, will anything ever be the new black? But purple is this seasons welcome addition to our beloved black. What I'm finding is that for women who wear black alot, and they're not a big color type of person, purple is becoming a wonderful addition to their wardrobe. It can bounce off of black, be used, as a layering piece. You can't walk a city block without spotting a purple dress or sweater in a store window. But if new duds aren't in your budget right now. I would suggest adding some "newness" to your closet by picking up some purple accessories, which can be found at cheaper prices. Go to the accessories department and pick up purple:a shawl,a handbag, a pair of shoes,necklace,beautiful-colored purple stone jewelry. You can't go wrong with any shade, whether it's aubergine,violet or plum.

Plums, violets and other shades of the color purple have invaded makeup counters in a huge way also. This trend is to be used as an accent color. Not lips and eyes. So pick a focus point. If you're putting on a black dress and want to accent with dark purple lips, then stick with neutral colors for the eyes, and vice versa. Stay away from using to many different colors at once
