Have A Purple Day Times Two

Whew! What a week it has been. I'm so happy to be here in the weekend but we have unfinished business from the week still. I've got outfits from Wednesday and Thursday for ya, so let's get to it! :)

Purple Dress - Ross; Pink Sheer Blouse - Kohl's; Black Patent Peep Toes - Payless

Wednesday was Spirit Day and I had to wear purple. No problem! I've been wanted to wear this dress with some fun tights since Fall began. Plus I've had this pink sheer blouse that I've been wanting to layer over something. The dress is a gorgeous color and I adore the cut, but since it's pretty basic it's fun to add some visual interest and I think this blouse with its cute little lace detailing does just the trick.

Speaking of visual interest I love how the gray leopard print tights look with this outfit. At first I was thinking of going with a black lacy patterned pair of tights to go along with the romantic feel of it all. After all, the necklace I wore had a faux vintage cameo pendant. But I felt like adding a little rocker flair to the mix. The leopard print was an easy decision after that. Then came the black patent peep toes with gold studs. This is an outfit I could easily wear every day and keep loving it. :)

Black & White Pocketed Tunic - Haute Look; Black Leggings - Target; Red & Black Animal Print Scarf - Thrifted; Plum Lifted Flats

 On Thursday I was ready to wear a recent purchase that I had just received. I bought this tunic on HauteLook.com where it was listed as a dress...but it's a little too short for me to consider it a dress. I know sometimes I like to sport shorter hems but if it doesn't pass the finger tip test then it doesn't pass as a dress in my book. But that's ok because this is a great layering piece. It worked great with these black leggings and I already can't wait to wear it with jeans! Oh yeah, and guess what. It has pockets! Yeah, I love it.

The black and white pattern is somewhat painterly, somewhat wild animal print. I thought it would be fun to play with pattern mixing by using a printed scarf as a belt. This recently thrifted red and black scarf is already of mix of animal patterns and I'm digging the look of it with the tunic. To throw add a little more pattern into the outfit, I wore some patterned nylon socks. Usually I have this thing about red, black and white. So I was tempted to swing towards my would be go-to for this outfit, red flats. But instead I wanted to add another color by wearing these plum flats that have a slight little lift to them. My necklace brought the colors together. And while I attempted to capture a good shot of the little red bow in my hair, it didn't go so well and you can only barely see it. It was kinda far back on my head, but trust me. It looked really cute.
