Trend: Berry for Fall/Winter 2008 - Items under $100

Berry & its cousin Purple have definitely shaped up to be the hot colors for Fall/Winter 2008, and by now you will have brought your wardrobe up to date (or are thinking about it!).

If you have some staples already in place, your splash of berry doesn't have to be a committment piece. With all the concerns about the economy right now, it was time for a new series of Trend Reports: On a Budget.

You can add the Berry trend quite easily - pair any of these items with a combination of black or gray and you've created a new look! Prada's new patchwork bag is exactly this combination (berry, gray & black).

Some suggestions on how to wear berry with your existing wardrobe:

1) gray cardigan, berry blouse, black pant & black handbag.
2) black shift dress over a berry turtleneck sweater, opaque tights with black tall boots.
3) All black with a bold berry handbag
