Purple + Coral

Vintage Sweater, Tom Ford True Coral Lipstick, Jennifer Fisher Bone Cuff, Vintage Chains, Ariel Gordon Rings 

Normally I stray from purple all together. I've always felt that it wasn't my color and it reminds me of that creepy singing dinosaur. But after spotting Georgia Jagger in a rich purple silk top with bright coral lips, I had a complete change of heart. For months I kept my eyes peeled for the perfect piece in that same royal shade but nothing seemed to say "Georgia" and felt more like "Barney", until I found this sweater at a thrift store. Hiding on the "under $10" rack, my vibrant purple craving was fulfilled. Turns out it is a color I can wear and love to wear with black, denim, gold and bits of coral. 
Rich purple + yellow gold accents gives a royal vibe. 


A few other rich purple pieces I'm currently craving...
1. J.Crew Perfect Fit Ribbon Henley in Dark Grape
2. Alice + Olivia High Waist Wide Leg Pants
3. Butter London Nail Polish in Hrh

Wow Samantha you look so stunning in purple! You usually go for pared back, neutral tones which look great, but you should totally colour it up more often!

For some reason I've always felt the same about purple and I honestly don't own a single purple item. Definitely need to keep my eyes peeled for a purple sweater like this one. I love the coral lips and those wide leg A+O pants are so amazing.

I would have never thought to pair purple and coral together, but they look beautiful side by side! Thank you for the inspiration :)

This sweater is such a steal - the shade of purple is perfect, and goes so well with the coral lip + gold accents. So sad that it's vintage!
