Ultra-Violet

One of the hottest colors for spring (according to Pantone’s list here) is African Violet.  I previously didn’t own a lot of purple in my closet, but have been warming up to it slowly (if these lilac pieces are any indication).  So when I came across these skinnies, I couldn’t resist the bright hue + the unbelievably soft finish (literally feel like sweatpants).  And they just happened to go perfectly with my new favorite spring button-down & this gorgeous statement necklace for what I refer to as a “dressed-up tomboy” look.
 
 
 
 
 
What I’m wearing:
Old Navy shirt (here), TinselTown Denim Couture jacket (via T.J. Maxx; similar here or here), Velvet Heart jeans (here; use code MARCH25 for 25%), Windsor pumps (here), c/o T+J Designs necklace (here), Merona clutch (similar here or here), Xhilaration hat (here), Fossil Watch (here), Lips: L’Oreal Colour Riche Balm Pink Satin, Nails: Essie Borrowed & Blue

    Too funny – my post last week was my pale purple pants! I absolutely love them and I was the same way – I never owned any clothing in that color.

    I am loving that hat. You have a great classic all-American style. Your makeup always looks beautiful too, very simply/natural and gorgeous. What do you use for makeup? I use tinted moisturizer but I am thinking maybe I need to start using foundation…just seems like so much work!

    You look so beautiful! The cap really accentuates your eyes. So luck that you can wear a ball cap without looking like a boy (as I would).

    I've had that shirt in my ON cart for weeks! I can't decide on the white or the coral color. Is that your normal size? I like how it fits, I'm trying to decide if I want to do my regular size or one size up.
