Fashion Corner: 5 Great Finds That Make PURPLE Reign

I was so excited hearing Prince’s new song yesterday that this morning I woke up determined to wear something purple to celebrate. Anything, a hat, a dress, shoes, a scarf or even some lipstick.

Problem is, I don’t really have anything cute & purple in my wardrobe or accessories. 

Ladies, you know what happened next, right? Yep. I started online window shopping for the perfect purple finds.

Instead of just favoriting the items and placing them in a bookmarked folder I’d wind up forgetting about I decided to share them with you. Consider this my blog post placeholder.

Some of the pieces defintely go together but, I’d probably wear one of the pieces each day for 5 days and make it Purple Reign for the whole week!

Let me know what you think.

The Dress

I love maxi dresses. I could spend all my days wearing them. They look so elegant and flowing and are perfect for any occassion. 

And this may sound silly but, I always feel taller when I’m wearing one. Hey, I’m 5’4″ so I need every bit of believability in my mind that I appear tall(er). Whatever works, right? And this dress definitely works.

The Sweater

It’s not really that warm out here yet, although it was 70 degrees here in NYC. I still like to carry around a sweater because it gets chilly pretty quickly.

I’m a fan of boleros with maxi dresses or spaghetti strap tank tops. This one is really cute and really purple

The Shoes

I like simple pumps in solid colors. Every now and then I’ll go crazy and get some multi-color shoes but, for the most part I stick with classics that I can walk comfortably in.

Maybe I’ll do a crazy shoe post one day but, for now these purple pumps would look and feel great on my feet.

The Bag

Who knew it would be so hard to find a really nice yet inexpensive tote in purple. It took a lot of search but, alas.

A great tote will give your look an almost elegant touch.

The Jewelry

The name of this piece of jewelry is so fitting with the theme of this post.

This is a combination of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ and ‘Diamonds & Pearls’ songs minus the diamonds.

It’s really a beatiful piece of jewelry and I’m a June baby so pearls are my birthstone.

If you’re feeling the urge to splurge for my birthday, please do. (hint! hint! wink! wink!)
