Purple









T-shirt:: From a benefit concert hosted at my high school

If you haven't been able to tell, I'm a tad bit obsessed with the color purple. I used to love everything purple as a child, whenever someone would ask me what lollipop flavor I wanted my response was always "purple" (such a smart child huh? lol). This love for the color has carried over into my adult life and expanded. I like to play with all shades of purple from lavenders and lilacs to deep mauves.

Here I am playing with shades of purple, white, black and gold. I think that gold really pops against purple and it just so happens to also be my fraternities colors! - yes I was in a co-ed professional fraternity in school.

My look was actually built around this skirt. I chose to wear a crop top with it so that there wouldn't be so much fabric hanging on my body as the skirt is already very full. Crop tops are always fun, but when paired with a midi skirt the look becomes more balanced and sophisticated. A sliver of skin makes the look a little bit sexier without letting everything hang out. Shiny accessories and a bold lip complete this look giving it a fun and funky edge.

I hope you like it, and see you all Monday! Don't forget, just THREE days left to enter my contest!!

Thanks for reading<33
