We're halfway through Purple Week and today I'm sporting a different shade of purple. This hue leans more towards the red end of the purple spectrum rather than the blue end. I got the idea to pair it with my aqua top after doing laundry and seeing them neatly folded on top of one another. It just kind of clicked in my head, like, "Hey! That could work!"
Don't you just love off-the-cuff inspiration? Sometimes that's where the best ideas come from!
top, h&m
cardigan, j.crew
skirt, j.crew outlet
heels, j.crew collection
belt, j.crew
Yeesh, I'm all J.Crew-ed out today and I didn't even notice until now! I guess that just goes to show that J.Crew looks great when worn with more J.Crew. That's probably part of their ingenious plan to take over my closet.
And now, your takes on Purple Week!
Julie of Julie of All Trades is back with a sweet plummy dress! I love the kerchief tied around her neck, too -- very chic! It takes the dress from basic to just a wee bit funky, which is in no way a bad thing.

I've been loving all your cute purple outfits this week...and this one is no exception! Love the colors paired here!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that turquoise + purple combo. I'll have to file it away for another day!
ReplyDeleteYou look A-mazing in that pencil skirt - I think I need more purple in my life for sure!
ReplyDeleteInspiration hits at the weirdest times, no? Love the pencil skirt! Have you seen the Sept J.Crew catalog? I die...
ReplyDeleteI have a picture of Tyra Banks stashed in a fashion binder and she's wearing a purple dress with a turquoise belt and I've always thought it was such a fabulous color combination. Your outfit definitely confirms this fact!! I love all the colors together and it looks so lady-like fab with the pencil skirt.

This may be my favorite outfit for purple week!

ReplyDelete:) So pretty! If I weren't on a shopping ban, I'd be ordering a purple pencil skirt right now! Can't wait to see what you do for the rest of Purple Week!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh out loud at your comment about J.Crew going best with all other J.Crew and it being some sort of insidious scheme -- so true :) Love your sleek and elegant yet fun looking outfit, and those t-straps are to die for! Enjoying purple week and seeing everyone else's takes very much so far, thanks for doing this! I posted my own participation on my blog today :)
