Plum Lucky! Wear The Hot New Color With Style!


If you've spent even five minutes glancing the latest Fall fashion trends then you know that PLUM is one of the hottest colors around. From accessories to full frontal fashion, from lips and eyes and cheeks to the polish on your fingers and toes varying shades of this dusky purple hue are EVERYWHERE!
And we love this color. We really, really do.

BUT ... the truth is, as gorgeous as it is, it's also one of those colors that you can easily overdo. And when you do ....uh oh ... suddenly you go from femme fatal to Barney ( not the store, the dinosaur!) . So before you plunk down those hard earned fashionista dollars on trendy buys that end up in the back of your closet, here's a little plum advice on how to make the most of your Fall fashion dollars!

Fashion Plum Do's & Don'ts !
1. Do not do head-to-toe plum. Matching sweater and skirt - fine. Matching shoes and bag - good. Sweater, skirt, shoes, bag ,tights and make-up - all in plum - no. You're entering dinosaur territory.
2. Wear plum make-up sparingly. Again, the two out of three rule applies best here: Lips and cheeks - good. Cheeks and eyes - even better. Lips, cheeks, eyes all in plum ? Nope. See dinosaur reference above. :)
3. Use plum as an accent color - just be careful what you're accenting! It's great as an accessory or trim shade for black, brown, navy, camel, grey, denim, white, and some shades of very dark olive green. It's a Fall Fashion " Uh Oh!" when paired with red, hot pink, bright green or yellow.
4. If you can't afford to buy major pieces in this hot new color, update last year's little black coat with a chenille plum scarf and gloves. For that little black dress type a smoky amethyst plump chandelier earring or a plum crystal beaded necklace. All you really need are touches of this color to seem right in style!
5. Plum looks great with every shade of hair color - just not the same shade of plum for every shade of hair. Don't know what to pick? Here's your guide:

Yellow Blondes: Choose lighter, warmer shades of plum with a red undertone.
Beige Blondes and Cool Brunettes: Go for the dusky plums with the blue undertone.
Reddish Brown or Highlighted Brown : Go for a pure plum with a neutral color base
in darker hues.
Redheads : You can wear plum! Just be sure to choose a shade that has neutral
undertones. Warm plums will clash with your hair; cool plums will
wash out your sparkle. Also try for darker more pure colors - skip
the heather shades.
6. Plum Jewels - One of the best ways to accent plum fashions is either with a smokey shade of amethyst or with sparkling silver. While we know some of you are die-hard gold fans - and we love it too. But nothing sets off plum style like the wintry shimmer of silver - and the minute you try it on you'll see the difference! For extra pizazz try plum and silver chandelier earrings!
WOW
