Passionfruit Watermelon Skirt

Does anyone remember the fruity prints of the 1980's? I had this remnant in my stash of fabrics from like waaaaaaaay back and thought it was time I used it, so here, the best usage for smallish piece of fabric was a simple skirt just below the knee...no fuss no muss...paired with simple tees and tops...

Colorblock 80s jacket

Fuchsia hot pink espadrilles

Gildan T-Shirt violet purple tee

Duotone lilac-blue button-down shirt

Holographic purple netting shirt as a topper

purple half-moon crossbody bag

purple spacedye sneakers

Lime buckle mules

This lime basketweave bag

Lime barn coat jacket

this H&M black crinkle camisole top

this heathered lavender tee...

teamed with these purple Salt Water sandals...

What a gorgeous violet purple hue!

these cool lavender shades...

everyone's gotta have at least one prairie skirt with an eyelet lace trim, and here's mine I put together with some lace I had left over and a lovely lavender calico print...

Madras plaid in shades of purple -- lilac, violet and lavender, with touches of red and a gold thread - so 1980's, having the gold thread going through it. The carved silver heart lariat necklace I made over a decade ago goes quite well too.

this lavender sweatshirt...

Purple jacquard jeans style jacket

Okay, I had the "knitting urge" all over again and whipped out this jumper with bits of wool I had left...I don't waste anything, if you know me! Everything gets used or reworked...

this violet stretch skirt...

Miista purple oilslick oxford shoes

violet / eggplant jeans will pair well with this jumper

and these periwinkle jelly sandals...

Accessorized with something like this funky striped purple flower jasper...

this green beads and aqua-green-purple-white pendant would team well

Ahah! This lavender patent pair of sandals are just the thing to pair with all this purple...super! Oh, my new crush...argyle socks...this pair has shades of periwinkle...perfect!

and Iolite / Cordierite...

and this NYX Lip Lingerie in Embellishment...

and LA Colors Chic Eyeshadow Palette...

and this LA Colors Lipstick in Sheer Violet...

Great periwinkle blazer on Lauren Hutton...

And Balinese straw duffel bag...

Enchanted April Fin de Ciecle Dresses

Remember that early 1990's movie "Enchanted April?" It's hard to find images from the movie, especially of the gorgeous Fin de Ciecle dresses that they wore in shades of apricot!
I came across this gorgeous apricot hued dress that has those Arte Nouveau scrolly designs and I know I won't find much opportunity to wear such a classical costumy looking piece but I've got 30 days to think about it...

I love the shimmery fabric and the swirls...

I wanna team it with this copper floral choker necklace that has a lot of patina...

this black and white one has far more embroidery and looks very Edwardian...gorgeous...these dresses can be worn poufed out or straight down(buttons underneath suspended from ribbons that allow the poufing up of the material!)

gorgeous...whoever thought of these flowy dresses must be very romantic at heart...

so, are they keepers or not? Yes!

and this little black floral necklace would work well too!

And how about this Art Nouveau horned goddess ring?

very earthy and most unusual...alas, it got away...

way too tight on top, they got converted to skirts, like this Lapis blue fin de ciecle skirt -- so very "British Raj" and Indian in design!

definitely these slate blue jelly sandals

right away, I wanna team it with this medium blue denim utility shirt...

or a darker denim shirt...

this distressed medium blue denim jacket...

or this dark deep indigo blue denim jacket...

lapis blue linen tee...

 to be teamed with this blue glitter knit top...

or this cobalt glitter knit top...

and even with a dark denim shirt...

and this blue crochet flat...

and this green dress that can be worn as a long skirt...

This emerald green pointelle cardigan...

green duffel coat

Quilted emerald green bag 

Retro round green frame eyeglasses

teamed with a simple black tee...

an emerald green tee...

or this black lace trim tank top...

this black crochet shrug...

or this black waterfall cardi...

and black sandals...

and a simple black crossbody bag...
