31 May THT- Lilac Is a Favorite Color This Spring- Casual Styling
Styling Lilac for Summer
Styling lilac for Spring and Summer was on the horizon. I love these soft shades and lilac comes back after being popular last summer as well.
You certainly can style lilac with neutrals- white, black , tan, navy. Or go for a monochromatic look as well, there are many trouser looks with this color in stores now.
I kept it simple with white Mom’s jeans and a pair of lilac sandals from Tarshay. These Mom jeans from Mott & Bow, are one of my favorite pairs. They have a little stretch, and I love the high rise. They are a bit cropped and show of those shoes!
The pin dot textured look and of course flouncy romantic detail . This Zara blouse was a steal on Poshmark for me, and it came new with tags. I found this short sleeve lilac blouse on Mango which also has beautiful detail.
Lilac is another shade ( I mentioned coral) that looks wonderful with nearly every skin tone. If you have darker skin or are someone who has a warmer tone to their fair or light skin, lilac will be lovely. If you have a cooler skin tone, try wearing lilac as a bottom or as an accessory. There are so many darling sandals and heels out there to choose from or these type of trousers would make a fashionable statement.
Happenings
Well, we had a great time over the weekend at my brother’s new house, 10 minutes away. The pool was ready- sparkling and filled with large inflated animals which took up 1/3 of the pool! I shared in yesterday’s post, the floaty that hubby and I lounged in. So nice! My brother cooked chicken and burgers on the grill , with all of the yummy fixings. I made my Strawberry- Walnut – Goat cheese salad and it was a hit! If you want the recipe, see yesterday’s post.
We tried, with lifejackets, to see if the pups would swim in the pool. They were not fans! I don’t think shih tzus gravitate toward water!
It was just a fun weekend with family and we enjoyed sitting outside, swimming, chatting, the whole time.
Have you added any lilac to your closet this Spring?

Posted at 05:59h, 01 JuneI’ve always loved shades of lilac, but the only thing I have in my wardrobe is a pair of jeans and they’re not terribly comfortable so I hardly ever wear them! You look fabulous, Jess.
And your weekend with your brother sounded like so much fun!

Posted at 15:47h, 31 MayJess, it sounds like you had a marvelous weekend with your family and I do so adore your style and fashion choices. You look fabulous in lilac, although I’m not so sure that it’s a universally flattering color for everyone. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be worked into an outfit in small doses like your slides or the cute crossbody purse I picked up a month or so ago.
