I , of course, LOVE the purple. But I am waiting on the modeling pics to get a better feel for them entirely, because its one thing to see it in a photo, then entirely another to see it on a model. I honestly think I will like them even more on an actual person, the metallics won't be as in your face, I guess I could say.
That said tho, if I bought one, it would be in a style that was more dressy, so that it wouldn't go out of style for winter, because really, metallics are always in when it comes to dressing up for parties etc. Not so much for me in the casual styles, does that make sense? I can see the Hug Me as a staple EVERY year, because its sooo classy. Pair that with my little black Christmas dress, ( I don't do clutches LOL) and voila, amazing!
