My absolute favorite color on or off the rainbow. I love, love, love me some purple, shades from lavender to deep eggplant. Violet is a nice in between color. It goes well with black, but for this outfit, I though I would compliment the violet pieces with brown and nude. This helps the violet pieces stand out. If I was skinnier (i.e. not pregnant) I would definitely consider wearing this outfit. I love the lace detail and the fact that it's partially hidden by the cardigan. And those boots are to die for!
