Shades of Purple

BCBG blouse, Forever 21 skirt, Nordstrom clutch, vintage boots

One of my favorite looks right now is the pairing of monochromatic colors.  As I mentioned here, purple has always been a favorite of mine and a closet staple.  I've had this BCBG blouse for years and was excited to reinvent it with this look.  My key to mixing monochromatics is using slightly different hues of the same color and varying the textures, which is why I loved the swiss dot blouse with the silky skirt.  These colors remind me of Spring, which cannot come soon enough, in my opinion.

The Color Purple

I've been in love with purple practically since birth. From my lavender banana seat bike when I was 5 to my purple velvet formal dress when I was 14, I'll always think of purple fondly. While my taste has grown and changed over the years, gorgeous purple dresses and accessories (such as these below) still make me swoon. In recent years, I've been more than happy to reintroduce this color into my life as a wardrobe staple.
