The Color Of The Season

Good morning, friends! This season, one color I have seen pop up over and over again is purple. All different shades, though typically your lighter ones such as lilac, wisteria, lavender, and so on. Pastels are a constant for me, regardless of the season, so it was nice to see so many this year for fall! My mom would have been so thrilled to see her favorite color come to life in all of these beautiful creations. I think she would have particularly loved this wool coat in a gorgeous shade of wisteria. I remember one of her favorite scents from Crabtree & Evelyn was called Wisteria, which she would always get while we were on our family vacations at the beach. I cannot help but think of her every time I see a shade of purple. The current purple shades of this autumn season are softer, lighter, and all around brighten up your wardrobe. Come to think of it, that’s a perfect way to describe my mom. Light, bright, and happy with a soft touch.

All items fits true to size. I’ve mentioned this before, but I love to layer with lightweight turtleneck underneath. They not only add a pop of color or pattern to an outfit, but they are great for an added layer of warmth, or if the afternoon turns out to be warmer than expected, you can simply take your sweater off and sport your chic turtleneck underneath. The one I have on is pink with cute little white polka dots all over. Also, these star earrings are oh so glam and perfect for not only some pastel outfits, but also for the upcoming holiday season! They have been a go-to for me lately. I can’t help but smile looking at them.

Lovely In Swiss Lavender

Design History Swiss Dot Top c/o || LC Lauren Conrad Skirt (Old, Similar) || Lavender Bow Slides || Sunglasses || Lavender Bag || 

Good morning and happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend. Some places near me had even started to do their fireworks display, which is always a treat to see and quite magical. It’s one of my favorite parts about the 4th of July! 

This romantic ensemble started with this beautiful Lavender Swiss Dot Top with a subtle bell sleeve. I love a playful sleeve! I went with a monochromatic color scheme and also wanted the outfit to have a flow about it, which I think adds to the romantic vibe. A pleated skirt has a lovely swish movement to it, while the tapered bell sleeve also helps add some movement to the top.
