I've made no secret about my obsession with purple this past winter (see Exhibits A, B and C for more proof), though I have a feeling this will be my last major ode to the colour. I've slowly but surely been gravitating towards more ocean-inspired hues (stay tuned for tomorrow's post for an example!). 

What's more, as much as I love tonal dressing, I've been really feeling more graphic, bold clashes of colour lately too. Maybe the sun finally coming out coupled with the fact that I can go outside without having to layer 30 sweaters on has something to do with my craving for new spring looks out, especially since this has felt like a particularly long winter (I know my more easterly Canadians are rolling their eyes at that statement, but for Vancouver, it has felt long!). 

At any rate, the sun coming out was a great excuse to whip out my favourite Persol sunnies again - speaking of which, have you entered my Persol giveaway yet? It ends this coming Monday (the 18th) so enter now before it's too late and win a pair of your own!

  2. You wear the purple well. Tonal dressing is nice.

    I've come to the conclusion that it must be awesome to have you as a friend, one reason being you look amazing all of the time. I'm sure you have a great personality as well.

    Take care.

  10. You do do tonal dressing with great style, pally, and warm shades like reds, purples, pinks and oranges just suit you so well. I'm completely obsessed with your top, the colour and cut are absolutely perfect. And not going to lie, I'm a little jealous of how sunny your photos look, too :)
