The New Black & IT’S OFFICIAL

Fashion trends are constantly changing and revisiting. Remember the bell bottoms that were popular in the 70s? Well, guess what?  They are the new fad again for the 21st century. Also, let’s not forget about those large framed sunglasses that both Elvis Presley wore in the 50’s compared to the ones Paris Hilton are wearing today.  On the other hand, colors have always been an important fashion statement.

Black has always been a universal color that was capable to go with everything. This is why every girl owns in her wardrobe something black; whether it’s a shirt, dress, pair of stockings, or even shoes.  However, the color black now has some competition…

However, the color PURPLE has its foot in the door and does not seem to be leaving anytime soon.  Purple has the title “the new black.”  Even celebrities have been flossing purple attire since as early as last year… I mean doesn’t color trends usually only last for about 2-3 months?  Besides having a longer lifespan than other colors, here is another interesting fact: The new five dollar bill has a bright PURPLE numero 5 at the right hand corner on back of the bill.  And not only is it purple, but the font is also enlarged!  Is it really necessary to increase the font?  I mean, isn’t President Lincoln’s portrait already considered fairly large?  I could understand that the US Mint probably designed the bill to be more legible, but it is still obsurd!  Anyways, I personally love purple.  I think it’s exotic, mysterious, and sexy; but not on our currency.

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen.  Purple is definitely the new black and to further prove this point, check out the new five dollar bill.
