I'd Like to Chat More About This Popular Winter Trend
There are certain trends that just get me. You know—those looks that are unique, cool, statement-making, and forward all wrapped into one. Currently, it's all about the purple winter coat.

Seriously, an all-purple ensemble is just where it's at this winter.
