Purple Pantsuit + Graphic Tee

             թ urple is my favorite color and I cannot describe the level of confidence, joy and excitement that I feel whenever I wear the color purple. it's such a beautiful and regal color in my opinion. Some argue that the color is not meant for every skin tone and I say it depends on how you style it. I have added lots of purple color pieces to my closet in the last couple of months and I look forward to styling them piece by piece on the blog. This Outfit can be worn to almost any where with just the change of accessories; Church, Work, Weddings, Meetings...

Closet Chronicles: Lilac/Lavender color

Closet Chronicles is a new feature on the blog that is all about adding colors to a plain closet and the color I'm starting off with in this series is (pastel) lavender or lilac. This is a lighter shade of purple and if you have been reading this blog for a while you will know that purple, lilac and lavender are some of my favorite colors. Unlike nudes and neutrals, this is not the color you wear on a daily or regular basics. Lilac is a color you add to the closet to style on an unexpected spring day or event; depending on the occasion. It can also be worn in the summer and all the way to Fall.

This post is about ways to add color (lilac/lavender to your closet and we'll start out by looking at a plain closet and when I say plain, I mean closets without colors; just nude and neutrals. Some people think this is boring but others just like their wardrobe or closet this way and that is okay. I f you do not like color, then you do not like color. However, spring is around the corner and this is a perfect time to access your closet  and determine what you need to refresh it. I know the trending color of the season is neon but we will address that color in a different post. So, like I was saying, we start out by just staring at this plain closet and we can make a list of that is needed in a closet; pants, tops, skirts, blazers, coats and accessories like shoes, bags, scarfs and jewelry. And we can go out to purchase affordable pieces in this color. Below are beautiful and stylish lilac color fashion pieces that you can add to your closet.

Blazers

Blazers are a cute way to add colors in your wardrobe because a colorful blazer is a statement piece. When you throw a lilac or lavender color blazer over your nudes and neutrals for spring, you'll definitely feel confident and classy for any event. To make the blazer stand out more, you can keep other accessories like shoes and bags neutral. A translucent or clear bag and shoes is a great idea too. Check out some lilac color blazers here and here.

   

Shoes

Can you see how yummy these lavender/lilac shoes look? A pair of lilac shoes would look stylish when paired with a dress, a pant suit or even a skirt and top. Easter celebration is around the corner and aside from Easter, think Spring and Summer weddings or even prom and keep a  pair at hand. Check out some selections here. 

How to style: Purple + Lilac

Can we still talk about lilac? I know it's not spring anymore since pastels or the lilac color was a huge trend this past spring but nothing stops us from styling and wearing this beautiful shade of color in the summer especially when we mix it with another great color; purple. This set above is an inspiration on styling these two colors together for a special event this summer. Happy viewing and styling...😍

Lilac button down shirt and white denim Pants

 

 

Happy Friday; I hope the week has been going great for you. It is with much excitement that I get to post another lilac color post on the blog today. I really love the lilac color trend more so, because it is in the same color family as my favorite color purple. For my Friday casual style, I wore this lilac color button down shirt or blouse that I have had for years; paired it with white denim pants, an oversized tote and camouflage (camo) prints sandals previously blogged about here. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a blessed and beautiful weekend.

How to style Monochrome; Lilac + Purple

Happy Monday everyone; I hope your weekend was great. Mine was awesome. I spent a lot of time with family and we went to the mall, went out to eat, went to a birthday party and most importantly, went to church. This is the outfit I wore to church yesterday; lilac and purple outfit. Lilac or lavender as some would call it is a color that is trending this season as we know and the easiest way to style it is to pair it with white, cream  or other pastels. For this look I decided to do monochrome styling by pairing my lilac lace top with lilac color pants. I chose to complete the look with a deep purple color blazer, light purple pumps and a straw bag. You can tell by now that I love the straw bag trend. They add a very organic feel to any outfit. So, what is the key to styling a monochrome look? Mix textures.
