Purple is in right now. I first caught wind of this when my friend was bemoaning the fact that eggplant purple is trendy and that every girl who wears it looks like Barney. However, when we went shopping the next day she tried on a purple top and looked made her look more like Barbie than Barney. She broke down and fell for the color like a supermodel on a slippery runway.
I started seeing it more, especially when I went shopping with my boyfriend. “Shopping” as in we walked around looking at things we couldn’t afford. Purple everywhere! Purple Dior shoes, Armani dresses, Louis bags. Stupid college budget.
Purple is super trendy right now, and though it may be pink’s retarded cousin, it does looks pretty damn hot. So, here are some of the cutest purple finds for the fall, to be worn with feistiness.
I’m obsessed with this grandpa-sweater look. Cardigans are so classic and amping them up with bright plum coloring and cashmere is a definite win.
Not ready for the neon purple? Orchid is a softer purple and jersey dresses are flattering on any body type. Subtle for the office and breathable for bar dancing!
Must. Have. Now. Chloe’s Daytripper bag in purple. Droooool. Seriously I would wear this with anything, all day, everyday. Santa, are you listening?
On the more affordable end, Forever 21 has a cute fuchsia crochet number. So feisty! Perfect for a beach dress or throw a black cardigan on (preferably a grandpa sweater) and dress it up for class or work.
Empire waist is my fave, hides that summer ice cream tummy. Love, love, love the deep purple, it’s like a sexy eggplant!
Madeline gone fashionista! Alright, this is may be a little too much for most, but if you’re daring and can pull it off, snaps!
What do you chicas think about the purple trend? Barneylicious or fabulous?

I think purple is fabulous. It’s always been a favorite color of mine, and in small (or tasteful) doses, it’s attention-grabbing without being in your face.
Plus, it’s a great fall color (luckily, fall is my favorite season).
not to mention it’s the color of royalty
Purple is my favorite color ever! I am always looking to collect more purple/plum/eggplant/violet/lilac clothing :).
If possible, could you tell me where the cardigan, dress, and the coat are from please?

J.Crew has tons of purply stuff for the fall! Enjoy
Purple has always been my favorite color! Most recenlty though, magenta seems easier to find (and looks great on me) causing purple to be tied at #1 with magenta.
I am so psyched that purple is back in again! Purple has been “uncool” for way too long (not that such things matter, it just makes it more difficult to find purple clothing in stores). Sweet! Purple is sexy on just about everyone!~
Thank you, Melanie! All are sadly sadly out of my budget though. *big mournful sigh*
You will TOTALLY be able to find tons of purple stuff at cheaper stores like Target, Forever 21 and H&M. That is the joy of it being back in style!
i always liked the color purple, especially with aqua, for important job events or ceremonies. the two colors are feminine without being over-the-top girly, and really can make a very good professional look.
