31 Mar Turning Heads Tuesday Link up- Purple Rain
Happy Turning Heads Tuesday!
Yes, I was a child of various types of music growing up, blues, rock, jazz, swing. …Do these lyrics ring a bell.. does the title give it away?
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

So the last two days you have seen me in printed dresses. One a bodycon style, one a fitted ruched style off the shoulder. This dress is one that I love due to the colors, the pink and purple colors that have rained down on this dress where I can wear it off the shoulders to make it a bit more sexy, or wear it as a cowl neck, a bit more conservative. I like the rusching on the side as it adds to the shape of the dress. This print reminded me of Purple Rain. which then in my steam-of -consciousness brought me here.
Here are some of the lovely ladies I chose to feature for their prints. Not PRINCE. ( ha!)
Ashley from Le Stylo Rouge is wearing this stand out lovely floral print, that really shouts Spring!
Rebecca of Red Tag Chic Los Angeles shows us a flowy dress but with a lovely blue print.
Abby of Life in the Fash Lane, shows a lacy print in this minty fitted frock. Lovely!

Katie
Posted at 02:08h, 31 MarchSuch a pretty bag and dress! Perfect for spring! I always have weird connections with the things I wear, be it that they remind me of a song, art, place or something else. It’s funny how we make so many connections with things!
