STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Perfect Purple

Style Advice of the Week

In fashion, what we embellish our ensembles with is just as important as the clothes we put on as a base for the look. Accessorizing is a key component to every outfit and without the right additions our looks would be incomplete and unexciting. In order to keep from heading in this monotonous direction, punch up your understated looks with some fun purple accessories like this Fashionista did!

On a particularly dreary March day I spotted this Fashionista wearing preppy yet neutral attire that was accentuated with deep aubergine (or eggplant) colored accessories. They perfectly complemented her look and added just the right amount of interest to her overall ensemble. I personally love the color purple and think it’s a great way to bring life into any outfit, it complements many different skin tones and works well for everybody.

This Fashionista expertly paired her purple accessories in a sophisticated way to showcase them. In order to recreate this simple but chic look for any day, start off with the basics: black skinny pants, a chambray button-down and a comfy pullover sweater. I especially like this option from Nordstrom that can be carried over into the upcoming warm weather. Then carefully choose accessories to build on and complement the rest of the outfit. A statement necklace is the way to go, keeping up with the accessory trends. While a stack of the hugely popular Alex and Ani bracelets helps personalize your accessories. Finally, step out with a pair of comfy, color coordinating flats.

So Fashionistas, amp up any outfit and accessorize with your chosen color!
