I remember back in elementary school purple was one of my favorite colors. I loved coloring with the hue, staring at it, and of course dressing in it! Now, I inadvertently shy away from purples all together, which is just silly because it's probably the most universally flattering color. It really looks good on everyone! So in honor of my 8 year old self, here's an outfit celebrating that color I loved so much, and will try to love more! Promise!



What was your favorite color growing up? Is it still number 1?

Love you in purple! So sweet and girly. My favorite was pink but I have to say I've ventured over to violet.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet silhouette paired with punchy coral...gorgeous combo, that bell sleeve is so adorable!

I'm pretty sure pink was my favorite color as a little girl...and it's probably the shade I have the least of in my closet, even though I still love it! The floral print of this dress & the low scoop in the back are so pretty - love how you put the blazer over it too! :)

ReplyDeleteYou didn't label the blazer, where is it from? I've been looking for one just like it!
my favourite colour is and always has been purple! I own so much of it too, in everything, stationary, clothes, accessories haha! yup! sometimes I'll end up having clothes and bags and binders matching unintentionally.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so gorgeous and it looks beautiful on you :)

Such a cute dress! The purple really is beautiful! My favorite color was ORANGE! haha, I had a weird matching outfit thing, with satiny shorts! It was the 90's :)
ReplyDeletePIECE OF CAKE. PEACE OF MIND.
Your dress and shoes have stolen my heart could I have it back please :)
ReplyDeleteSO cute! I definitely need to start wearing more purple; I especially love deep plums.

ReplyDeleteLove the back...it's always a bonus when a dress is not only pretty in the front but also in the back!!

You look absolutely adorable! pink+purple were my 7 year old favorites! Not so much anymore. I love a good pop of one or the other though. Did I miss where that cute blazer is from? love.

Growing up my favorite colors were blue and pink! They still are. I love the color combination of the two as well. Makes perfect outfits!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I think pretty much every color has been a favorite of mine at some point. But my family/friends recently pointed out to me that I buy everything in purple. So I call that my subconcious favorite color. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always loved metallic silver for some reason. So specific, i know...

ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of purple and this dress is SO beautiful! I adore the pleats & floral print pattern, absolutely perfection!! I also love that you added that yellow bag for some extra colour pop. As for my fave colour growing up?! Purple. And now I'm obsessed with ice blue for home decor and I love to wear red. Smooches! V
ReplyDeleteLovin' the mixture of brights you have here...esp the purple and coral, how lovely together! That dress has got a great cut (low backs are lovely, aren't they?).

My favorite color changes daily, monthly, and weekly. I am always being impressed by new hues, moods, and tastes! However, I strongly believe that Yellow Handbag might be in my new favorite color range!
