Loves, from last week, you know that I take my football very seriously, see here, and wear purple on Fridays (Go Frogs!). And you know that I thought that this skirt was going to be my new neutral (see here). So loves, it should come as no surprise that this purple is my new neutral. That’s right, you heard it first: purple as a neutral. It’s happening.
It happens in this amazing vintage YSL skirt because while the color is bold, and the length is long, it just goes with everything! Case in point: this off the shoulder top (from last season, but I found you some that are super similar), and these yellow shoes (yes, they are my new favorite). The colors stand out by themselves, but flow together seamlessly. Purple and blue are in the same family, and the yellow is a nice pop. The lesson: don’t be afriad to mix. This skirt would also look amazing with leopard print, your classics (white and black), red, a print, green. I dare you: bring me something it wouldn’t look great with!
Purple as a neutral might seem like a stretch, but I don’t think it is. Any color can be a neutral if you pair it correctly (and what have we been learning here?). Especially any bold color can be a neutral-red goes with so much, as does blue, yellow, green. There’s so reason to stick to black and white, the entire rainbow is your palette. (I also love leopard and snakeskin as neutrals. Don’t be afriad to pair them with colors!) But loves, I do love this purple skirt. As it is purple, and it is football season, it is currently my favorite neutral in my closet. While I am partial to this outfit (how couldn’t I be?), I’m pairing this skirt with almost everything I own (and yes, that includes TCU shirts).
What purple (or other color) are you wearing as a neutral?
