The Color Purple

 

Hello, and a very Happy New Year to you all!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today

This week I am styling two outfits built around the color purple

I love wearing this deep, rich color

But of course I would, it's two of my favorites mixed together: red and blue!

First, the start off the new year, 

a casual look with a navy blue and purple pullover sweater 

This sweater is a classic crewneck cut, made special with a whimsical intarsia print 

of horses in walking, trotting and galloping poses

Worn with medium wash straight leg denim jeans 

To accessorize, I chose a scarf is an opposite print-

 it has shades of purple on a navy blue background 

 The celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars dance across this print

 

For a bag, I'm wearing a vintage 70's fringed cross body suede pouch

with a padded shoulder chain strap

A silver tone open multi-ring cuff bracelet

 and large hoop earrings for jewelry

Tan suede stacked heel shoe booties to finish

this outfit with a 70's retro vibe

A whole lot of the color purple in this 

  cozy solid color, flat knit sweater dress

This dress is very basic, but has an unusual wide scoop neckline

that makes it challenging to layer

I filled in the neckline with a favorite lush tone scarf

scattered with a print of magnificent jewels

Carrying a navy blue and berry colored two tone mini bucket bag

I chose gold tone curved jewelry to complement the 

hardware on the bag-

an open cuff bracelet and circle stud earrings

Berry shoe booties to complete the look

What was I thinking, deleting this ruffly 

purple and violet floral print blouse from my wardrobe?

Now I wish I had it back

I'm even consuming purple food today: a yummy blueberry smoothie 

Hope everyone stayed safe and healthy over the holidays

and has a good first week of the year!
