This morning when I discovered that Marissa from The Modern Austen – one of the two innovators of the Pantone Spring Colour Challenge – had already posted before I even put mascara on, I boldly tweeted that I would be posting within 14 hours. Yes, I was quite specific. Well as I type, that was 17 hours ago. 17 hours of violet-loving-life! Here was my African Violet ensemble for the day:
I had to wear socks because it was snowing when I left. Not flakes that melt as they fall but snow that I would’ve Instagrammed if it hadn’t been so depressing. The purple pants helped though and the crop length held an unspoken promise…
The print of this top makes an interesting neutral, or a “basics+” as I like to call them. Plus it has a tribal feel so I think that gives me bonus points for representing the “African” of African Violet!
This shot snapped in the hotel bathroom where I was taking a course this morning shows the colour a little better than at my Dayhome Extraordinaire’s place earlier in the day. Yes, in the name of style, I snap pics in a variety of environments that might be questionably professional/imprudent. Because I am dedicated.

Love it! Love the purple pants. I think I need some! 😉
Yes, everyone needs purple pants. Go get some immediately!
I love your purple pants! They’re a great color! And it’s snowing where I am too. Super depressing on May 1st!
Thanks! Snowed on lemon Wed too but so far so good today. I’m tempted to put away the winter scarves….!
I love the length of the layering tank…I have been searching for one such tank at VVBoutique…so far no, but I have faith. Love that top. And the sparkles are Farbulous!
Thanks! Wasn’t sure if it looked “awkward” (S’s new fave word BTW) but decided it was cool. I could sparkle everything. It’s like a digitial bedazzler.
love the sparkles…and the CROPPED pants with shoes and socks – love that you take fashion risks with confidence & pull it off:) -MMM (i can’t deal with remembering passwords that posting as myself seems to require, but i think you know who i m:)
Aw thanks! I just tell myself people are looking at me with admiration! (or thinking my pants are too short, but whatev) Miss you girl!
