The Amethyst Hour

Labor Day marked the official end of summer when I was growing up. When I morphed into an adult, surrendering sandals for pantyhose replaced school as the most painful part of the fall transition. Then I came to work at the Warehouse and gained a new fashion perspective.

We’re theme dressers here, and the seasons aren’t marked by cotton or wool, pumps or sandals. It’s much simpler – orange or purple. (Conveniently, the little black dress works all year with the right accessories.)

So having worn various shades of salmon, peach and coral since early spring, I’m ready for the purple passion that lasts through the end of the year. Amethyst jewelry, violet contacts, lavender shawl, plum pumps. Time to pull it all out in celebration. Tomorrow the Ravens swoop into town, and a new season begins for the Warehouse fashionistas.

You’ll still see the orange when the O’s are in town. Fall is a great season for transition. In clothes, weather, and supporting the home teams we love.
