The truth is I’ve had a little bit of fun styling my outfits to match my purple hair these past few weeks. While this was not my intent, it started off as a safe way to rock my purple locks without clashing other colours. Until it eventually took on a life of it’s own. I never realized just how much purple was lurking in my closet until I surpassed the 2 week mark of playing the purple matching game. I actually quit playing the game (before running out of purple garments). Only because it simply became too predictable for coworkers to guess what colour I’d be wearing the next day. Not being one to conform to such predictability, I had to give it up. Although I found that it has not been a struggle to wear other colours with my purple balayage hair.

When in doubt or in a rush I’ll throw on a pair of floral print leggings. I find they are a great way to make a statement without putting in too much effort. I will pair it with neutral tops so as not to detract from the boldness of the floral print, as styled here with a simple grey tank and chambray shirt overtop. On a side note, I’ve been into ruffles lately.

Any particular trends or styles you’ve had on repeat lately?

Enjoying the last few days of summer in true free spirited, hippie style. We planned on getting lost for the day along unexplored roads. And so I dressed accordingly: floral bustier, denim cutoffs, long vest and gladiators. To accessorize the outfit I opted for a pair of John Lennon shades and my beau’s bolo tie.

Although we spent the whole day hanging outside nothing seemed to capture the proper vibe I was feeling. (And wanted to capture in the photos). Having always loved sunflowers I have memories of running through my grandfather’s endless fields of sunflowers as a child. He would always cut some down for me. But that is a memory far gone for a city dweller. As we continued on our adventure nothing seemed to please the background I had in mind so I said to my boyfriend: What does a girl have to do around here to find some sunflowers?? Would you believe me if I told you that as soon as we turned onto the next road we came upon this field?
