purple people eater

who is this man, you ask?  play to get in the purple-y mood...

i have never been a fan of purple.  just not a color i gravitate to.  it's ok with other colors in a pattern or maybe lavender but not bright purple as the main color for an outfit.  i would feel like a giant grape or even worse...barney!  but i was inspired by an outfit in the jcrew catalog last month.  it was a girl in a violet purple button-down, plum purple shorts, and a bright coral colored belt.  WOW!  i loved it as soon as i saw it.  but i put my own spin on it.  i chose a skirt (more useful for work) in the violet color and a plum jackie shell for the top.  same colors but the reverse top vs bottom.  and i think the belt just makes it.  if you havent already tried the pencil skirt in super 120s you definately should.  it is a perfect weight skirt, it fits great and comes in useful colors.  also, lovin the jackie shell for the summer.  i think it looks a little more polished than a t-shirt.  i have already bought the neon azelea, black, white, and the purple shown in this outfit.
