I feel so girly in lavender.
I have posted this cardigan in the past and I really love wearing it...its as if the color has 'color therapy' powers..it makes me feel instantly fresh and pretty and happy.
The cardigan is Eddie Bauer and was thrifted. The hat, purchased at The Closet Exchange. Pants, New York and Company, top...very old boyfriend sweater. Necklace.........
....you got it....Lia Sophia. Its a retired piece. A former advisor had some supplies and jewelry to sell and I purchased some of her things...I wanted to have a few retired pieces as booking gifts, but I had to keep this one!
....I didn't post the outfit that I wore with these boots because it really didn't look very flattering, but I had to share the boots with you. These are Frey boots. I had a pair this color when when I was a teen and loved them. I wore them everywhere and thought I was really cool. And then I got rid of them. A few days ago, I found this pair..with metal studs on the shaft at T.J. Maxx and fell in love. Its funny; my cousin Rhonda had a pair just like my old pair!!! Rhonda and I did have similar interests as teenagers...we both liked David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman, but not Donny Osmond.
We both read Tiger Beat and FaVE magazines as teens...and had our celebrity husbands chosen. (David Cassidy all the way).We swooned over the boys. Now I swoon over things like this:
See, the girlie theme reigns!
Good night, my friends...tonight its early bed time for me. I'm wishing you all sweet dreams in your own version of the swoon worthy dream bed!
I have started to love lavender after I acquired a cardigan from Boden.
ReplyDeleteIt certaonly suits you.Have a lovely weekend.
I never used to love it.....but then I had never considered it with black. It doesn't look so pastel-y and from-frou and washed out with black...so now I love it!
DeleteLooking lovely in lavender, my dear. I don't think I own anything in that color. The necklace is very pretty with it.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of that bedroom too! And the headboard on the first one--oh my word! It is great.
I'm drooling over that bedroom!
DeleteI do love all that sleek black paired with such a pretty cardi. Your Lia Sophia necklace is lovely. I only own one piece of Lia Sophia from a neighbor's party, but it's a convertible necklace, and I wear it frequently.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne,
DeleteI love black and lavender too.
I really do love my LS jewelry...its classic and timeless
You look so cute in your black & lavender! I used to swoon over David Cassidy, too! haha
ReplyDeleteHow about them boots! LOVE it!
Oh yeah...David Cassidy was my main love back in the day!
DeleteI love your necklace - so pretty. And your new boots are awesome! I need to head out to TJ Maxx - didn't know they carry Frye boots. I've wanting a pair but just can't justify the $$.

This was the only pair that my local TJ Maxx had, but they had many other high end brands...including the most awesome pair of Uggs that were not in my size :(
DeleteEmbracing your girliness is a path to joy. Love the color of the cardi and the stylish design of the necklace.
ReplyDeleteThank you......I say lavender and black is girly with an edge!
DeleteThose are heavenly boots! Good to know about you and lavender - I can't wear it at all but I see it all the time. Will keep my eye out for something for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, I didn't think I could wear lavender....but I do really like it paired with black because its not so pastel and sickly sweet.
DeleteThank you for the compliment on the boots...they were kind of a blast from the past.
you are so right about the correct shade of lavender having powers!
ReplyDeletehow fab are those boots?????

Hi Brett....I thought that lavender was never a color for me...but I was wrong. I just love it.
DeleteHi Lisa! those boots are fab and I would love to sink into that bed and stay there today!! Have a lovely week:)
ReplyDelete~Anne
Thank you Anne!
DeleteI agree about the bed...it looks like the perfect comfort spot!
Lovely lovely in lavender Lisa :-)
ReplyDeleteI love how peoples tastes and style change and twist ... and sometimes things we thought we'd never love suddenly steal our hearts ... I was always rather against romantic style bedrooms and right now there are a number of items I'd love to take out of the bedroom pictures you posted.
Swoon.
The boots and necklace are quite delightful as well.
I know, Wendy.....I'm surprised at some of things I like that I never thought I would like. BTW.....the red peplum and skirt on your post is fab...will be commenting!
DeleteLavender looks so wonderfully pretty on you. Some shades look okay on me, others tend to wash out my colouring, but I love it all the same either way (in fact, come to think of it, I have lilac hued Essie brand nail polish on my toenails right now).
ReplyDeleteWishing you a gorgeous week ahead, dear Lisa!
♥ Jessica
Oh Jessica...thank you for the warm wishes!
DeleteThe color is beautiful on you! That necklace is fabulous-no wonder you had to keep it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Heather...yep..had to have it! :)
DeleteI think lavender is a "comfort" color... i love it... and i think you wear it well.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to put it, Lorena....comfort..yes I agree!
DeletePurple is my favorite color, but I'm sad to realize that I have no lavendar in my wardrobe. How is that possible? Anyway, I love that cardigan!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find your lavender!
Deletepastels are definitely everywhere this fall/winter. the lavender is a great shade!
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
I think lavender is universally flattering!
DeleteI love the lavendar and black together - such a great combo!

Hi Annie, thanks for your comment. Lavender and black has become one of my favorite combinations!
DeleteLia Sophia sure does have some pretty necklaces. I LOVE that retired one with the lavender cords.
ReplyDeleteThey do have great stuff, don't they Kristen. I just had to have that one. Hmmm.....maybe I could search and find another.....
DeleteOMG those boots are amazing! I'm a big fan of lavender too - it's nice to indulge the girl inside the woman sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThank you....they're fun!
DeleteThis black and lavender outfit is very flattering on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you...I love the color combination of balck and lavender!
