Are you for or against color in your wardrobe? Women tend to lean toward having an all neutral closet or a bright array of color diversity. Which category do you fall into? I was never a neutral girl. I have always veered toward having a loud wardrobe; however, recently I am steering toward softer color palettes. A few months back, I actually purged over 3/4 of my closet and many of the items I chose to ditch were in the bright color scheme. But with Pantone’s proclamation of Ultra Violet as the color of the year, I knew I needed to reevaluate my color selections. 
 
If you are a little out of the loop, Pantone announces a color each year that dominates in all areas of fashion and design. Ever since the purple shade, Ultra Violet was announced, we have seen all ranges of the color be paraded in department stores. My personal favorite variation has been the pink lavender shade, you can see here.
 
After bringing home this dress, I couldn’t believe it was only the second item I owned in the purple family! My husband even complimented me saying he loved how I looked in the color. So often we are afraid of color with the idea that it will make us look too juvenile; however, opting for a more dusty or muted variation of the shade will prevent that from being the case. 
 
P.S what do we think of the neck scarf? I personally love it. I found it you let it sit more centered on your neck it looks more chic and less flight attendant. If you want to see how I tied it, check out my Instagram Highlights under Fashion
