Lilac Sweaters for Different Complexions

I kept seeing lilac or these light purple items advertised sporadically throughout last year and into 2021 as a fresh pop of color, but in reality, most people don't really gravitate towards wearing this hue on a daily basis. Maybe it's too sweet or ultra-feminine for most, but I love how pretty it is in photographs and how it works with many different types of complexions. Lilac is a great special occasion color, perfect for a romantic look for Valentine's day coming up!

 Thought these ASOS sweaters have some interesting textures!

Which shade of lilac would you wear?

Come to think of it, any pastel colors would work well for Valentine's Day because it reminds me of sweetheart candies! Ah, remembering the days when we had secret crushes and wondering if the boy who gave you that piece of candy meant what it says "Be Mine!"

Three Casual Fall Hits

1. Back-to-school Sweats: I'm no longer in school, but suddenly I am drawn to hoodies and sweatshirts again. Maybe this could be the adult "work-from-home" attire. The men's department have been killing it with the monotone styling:

 

2. Curly Sue Hair: Fun fact, I had permed spiral curly hair throughout my adolescent years, but the curls never looked this good. Maybe in an alternate universe...

3. Colored Denim Jackets: better yet, combine all in one...curly hair, sweats, and denim jacket!

Love this styling! I'm onto tiny "ditsy" floral prints and walk-able shoes lately.

Lovin in the men's section

Forever 21 has been killing it in the men's department lately. Er, at least I want to shop in men's!

   

...and this cute little green shark coin purse is not from F21 (from Fossil), but I'm lovin it here:

Romantic ideas

Gorgeous stock photos from Anthro...

I'm digging the interesting hemline of the evening dress where it's shoe-revealing in front and sweeping in the back. Also spotted a similar silhouette at H&M...must be the new thing!

When it comes to shoes for fancy dresses for spring/summer weddings, I love these delicate, barely-there gold strap heels:
