I believe some pundits think otherwise (not that I care, but it's a dull Friday afternoon):

I love black, it has always been my base color( for last 35 years) Black as a base is never in or out, it just "is". LOL
BUT,, what comes and goes fashion wise is the accent..
Purple is the "it" color this year.. even my 12 yr said yesterday "purple is the new pink" ( keep in mind she is talking about what a 12 yr girl would wear)

Sorry, but we cannot locate the dress right now. It is buried somewhere, possibly in the backyard.
It had awning stripes on the horizontal. Some pink, some magenta with a nice billow at the hem line.
Given some of the outfits I have seen in Europe, I don't think it would attract much attention.
I think we gave the dotted tie to the clothing drive. Or maybe it was used in a quilt that my wife gave away.
Come to think of it, the sack dress may have gone into a quilt.

This is the Sisley website. If you click on Woman Collection you will see the colour palette for Fall. I think this is pretty acurate.
Notice the boots. These are HOT right now.
Look for capes, magenta cowl neck sweaters, and textured tights.
Canvas shopping totes and duffel bags (especially the ones shaped like a tootsie roll) are also HOT.

Purple, black and grey were the "in" colors when I was staying in Paris LAST August... have they really not come up with something new since then?
In LA, it seems to be all about the 3/4-length trench coat (black preferred), some jewel tones, and a bunch of g-d-awful tops and dresses that look like something my grandma would wear.

Yes, Ira, it is. Cynthia Heimel wrote a hilarious piece about black being over, years ago. I will see if I can find it.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on the new Essie colors for fall. I am running out to get a pedicure as soon as I find out who around here has these. Love them.
