Purple Week, Day One: purple + neon yellow


Huzzah, my purple outfit for Day One! And what better purple-y thing to start off with than my favorite purple blazer? (technically, it's my only purple blazer, but work with me here, people)

blazer, zara
top, j.crew collection
skinny jeans, j.crew
flats, urban outfitters
bangle, kate spade
ring, coach



Of course, I'm also starting Purple Week off with my favorite color combination of purple + yellow, though in this iteration, it's purple + a very neon yellow. Purple and yellow are almost at opposite ends of the color wheel, and I believe that it's this contrast that makes the combination work so well. It's unexpected, but yet it meshes. Kind of like watermelon and salt, or Jim Carrey and a film role where he doesn't make his butt talk. You know, that kind of unexpected pleasantness of contrasts.

Who knew, right?
