Purple has always been one of my favorite colors!  It makes an elegant and strong fashion statement, and coincidentally also happens to be the name of one of my favorite songs and movies by my favorite artist. 🙂 Could it be because it screams royalty, and there are so many ways to dress it up? For spring you will see various shades of purple hit the runway and beauty scene.   Here’s a look at a fun outfit I pulled together using this majestic color! I love mixing purple with other rich color jewel tones because it creates a very lush look.  It also looks good with metallic and whites.  I chose a magenta purple because of my warmer complexion; however, a cooler skin tone should go for a purple that has a blue or gray hue.

Spring Forward!

Spring Forward!

by | Mar 20, 2015 | Fashion, Style, Trends

That’s it!  I’ve officially divorced winter! I can no longer take the dark colors, closed toe shoes, coats, beanies, or umbrellas.  Today is officially the first day of spring, therefore it’s time to bring out the bright new colors!  This past winter was harsh, so I’m embracing the change in season.  Today’s outfit post is me declaring a closet edit, putting away my winter gear, swapping out my boots for sandals, and never looking back. This outfit was built around the shoes I purchased from ShoeDazzle about a month ago in anticipation of this day.  If you’re a shoe lover but aren’t a ShoeDazzle customer, you’re missing out BIG TIME!  Not only do I find myself drooling over the styles, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the sales are phenomenal. My new spring fling is the color combination blue and yellow.  Lately I’ve been obsessing over it.  It’s like a breath of fresh air.  Although I love the color blue, I actually don’t wear it much, so it’s a different look for me. What do you think?  When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone?  Spring is the perfect time!   Sunglasses:  Old, Similar here: http://www.wildfox.com/wildfox-sun-lolita-frame Shirt: Forever21 Pants: JCrew Shoes: Loyita,  http://www.shoedazzle.com/products/LOYITA-105-000194-0100 Purse: Old gift Jewelry:  Africa (Senegal)   Have a great weekend and Happy Spring! 🙂 Love, The Ultimate...
