Aubergine and Deep Plum II

With September here, my thoughts have turned to updating my fall wardrobe. I love all the aubergine and plum everywhere, but didn't think these were colors I had in my wardrobe. So I went shopping this morning in my closets and discovered all these hiding-a fabulous Marc Jacobs Stam bag, a vintage Schiaparelli hat, a Suzanne Bettley hat I bought in London, a dress from Anthropologie, and a necklace from Neiman Marcus. What's hiding in your closet? For more aubergine and plum inspiration, read this previous post here.

Betsey Johnson-My Must Have for Fall

My must have accessories for updating my fall wardrobe are something purple-THE color this autumn and a petticoat to layer under dresses, skirts, and coats. What better choice that this wonderful purple petticoat by the always brilliant Betsey Johnson? How fabulous will this look peeking out of gray flannel, tweed, chocolate brown, or black? The list of what this will go with is endless. Wait until you see this color in person-it's a very elegant and understated deep smoky plum.

Aubergine and Deep Plum

From fashion to interior design, aubergine and deep plum are an elegant, sophisticated, and chic trend this fall. A gorgeous choice for the walls of a dining room, bedroom, powder room, study, anywhere! Not ready to commit to a whole room? Try a sofa, silk taffeta or velvet curtains, a leather ottoman, or a ceiling. Be on the lookout for a great piece in aubergine or plum to add to your wardrobe. Have you seen Betsey Johnson's new tiered skirt/petticoat in plum-to die for!
