Worth Trying This Season: Velvet Anything

You probably haven't worn velvet since you were a kid, but we think it's time for a comeback - velvet is being reincarnated on dresses, jackets and tops. Several celebs are leading the way (along with Michelle Obama, on Oprah's Christmas at the White House special), so let's follow along:
