Here’s an interesting color palette you do not see used everyday. Plus it’s great year round!

Color Theme of the Week – Purple & Green

Thursday, September 9th, 2010 by admin

Sorry, a little tardy for the party today with my post. I think this color combo makes for a nice fall scheme without being so “fall-y,” (no red, orange etc). Plus both colors are making big statements in fall fashions, so it was easy to get inspired!

Color Theme of The Week- Purple & Red

As promised, here is a good transitional/ fall color theme. I really haven’t seen much of these colors together but I was flipping through the current issue of Brides (post inspiration board making) and they happened to highlight it, so maybe it will start popping up more.

Color Theme of The Week – Purple, Khaki & Taupe

Personally I do not know anyone who would rock a colored wedding dress, but this bride does it so effortlessly she (and her great fur shrug) inspired this week’s color story.

How glorious is this color?! Thanks to the color purple for making a fashion debut as an “it” color, we now get to enjoy the lighter springier version, and it looks good on just about any skin tone. Call it what you want, purple, lavender, lilac, or freesia, just don’t call it ugly. And, I hear it’s slated to stay around a couple seasons, yay!

Everyone could use a lavender dress for the summer because sun tan + dress= fashion bliss.

So the Nike running shorts are looking a little grey (at least on my screen), but they really are lavender. What better way to work it out so that party dress for sure fits?

Along the same note, a tunic is great for those days when you didn’t put your Nike shorts on, and a body skimming anything is oh so not appealing. Plus the light weight cotton makes it comfortable in the heat of the summer, and at the beach. Did I mention how much I love the navy beading? Navy and lavender together is oh so chic!

This adorable scarf from J.Crew is a great way to stay warm in any over air conditioned office or restaurant.

These purple shoes are officially on my wish list. I always get myself into trouble when I visit Anthropologie.

Tod’s D-Bag keeps teasing me. I see it in there ads all over the place. FYI D-Bag is short for D-Styling Bauletto Medio. Do you think they meant to nickname it that?
