Seeing Red Again...& Contest!!!

Ruby Colored Necklace
White House Black Market
Fall 2010

Color cues in accessories for the upcoming fall season include bold reds and royal purple.  Now I love bold red...and I love royal purple, but I had to think "they must be joking" when I saw the two being styled together in the recent edition of InStyle magazine.  I would've never thought that red and purple coming to popular fruition at the same time implied that they should to be worn at the same time.  Apparently stylist all over, however, have been tempted. 

There are two things that have been said about wearing red and purple together: "If you can pull off red and purple together you are a true fashionista (I never liked that one)" and "If you wear red and purple together, you're having fun in your retirement as a part of the red hat society (I like that one).  The last time I wore red and purple together it was on a 101 Dalmations tshirt that showcased a light purple bow on a black and white puppy with a red zig-zaggy 80's heart (pretty cool at the time).  Sure, it looked great with my over the top spiral permed hair....but now? probably not so much.  I'm sure someone can pull it off though.  Think you'll try it?

If you aren't that brave, accenting an outfit with just one or the other will be a beautiful way to celebrate the fall...and I want to help.  I'm offering a pair of sterling silver and red coral earrings to one random jewelry dose daily reader.
