Sunday Style: Purple Rain

Happy Sunday! Today’s post is a special one! I’m loving all things purple right now and it’s even perfect for the holidays or everyday! 

Purple is often known as the color of royalty. Prince loved the color purple as he said he felt more “Princely” when he was wearing it. Did you know it wasn’t his favorite color though?! 

Purple is a combination of red and blue. Purple is the color most often associated with rareness, royalty, magic, mystery and piety. When combined with pink, it is associated with eroticism, femininity and seduction. 

Purple goes way back in history. Did you know that they used to get the dye from snails to dye their clothes? They used to take the snails from their shells and then a gland had juices that were extracted and put in the sun until they became the right color! I don’t know about you all but I love reading about the history of things so this was right up my alley! 

Prince wrote the album Purple Rain as a soundtrack to the movie. Many analyze the term “purple rain” as many things but Prince himself said that it was referring to the sky being red with blood and mixed with blue equaling the purple. He referred to it as the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god guide you through the Purple Rain. 

So it’s kind of romantic? Well whatever your take on the meaning of the song, it’s a fantastic song that I’m glad he wrote. 

Now on to the purple in today’s outfit! This sweater and sequin skirt from Eloquii are so beautiful on their own but even more fantastic when worn together! I paired silver boots and some purple tassel earrings with this outfit for the perfect look! 

This is also special because this was part of the photo shoot that I did a couple of weeks ago! I’m still loving all of these shots and we did tons of pics in this outfit! Deep Ellum in Dallas is the perfect place to take pics and we loved the murals as well as the city scene. Enjoy!

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
