Purples, Plums, Violets and Lilacs...

Whenever I want to wear color in the spring I find myself always reaching for purple. Purple is one of those colors where nearly every shade is wearable; rich plums and violets look rich and romantic while lavenders and lilacs look sweet and feminine. So here are some of my favorite purples this season.

The styling in these purple looks are incredible, from simple lines of gowns, to sweet and more detailed cuts for florals and eyelets. I love how even a dark shade of dark purple make you look colorful, and how purple doesn't require so many accessories.

Have a lovely spring day everyone
