Catch the colbalt craze this fall and pick up a few pieces in a sultry blue hue.   There’s only so much black any one person can own — make blue your signature color this season and let it be known that your style is outside of the box.  Look for vibrant, traditional blues — turquoise was the color for spring and summer, the cooler weather points towards an icy, royal version.  Navy is close, but still a bit subdued — keep looking until you find that brilliant bright blue that makes your eyes pop and your skin glow.  You’ll know the one.  Here’s three of our top picks to get you started:
