Sweeten Up with a Berry Colored Dress

Berry Colored Dress Fashion by Alexandra Phanor-Faury Summer is the best time of the year to experiment with color. This year, we're especially loving the look of berry dresses. Shades in tones ranging from pale lilac to deep plum are a great way to add a jolt of color into any wardrobe. And we love how this color radiates summer-happiness. Check out our favorite red-carpet stylistas in their stand-out berry frocks.
