50 Shades of Plum

I am seeing purple EVERYWHERE lately! I think it's going to be huge for this winter. I think a lot of those gem tones will be big. Here's the color and item I am going to focus on today!


Here are a few things I'm loving right now. I feel like purple is going to be THE color for pants! Skinny pants in all shades of purple!



These are by Hue and they are from Nordstrom. I just got these babies for $17!!! These are a brighter shade of purple but they are so much fun!! They are cords and they have a fun sheen to them. I was a little nervous about what to wear with them at first, but I paired it with some caramel Sam Edelman flats and a dark denim vintage button down and I think it worked well, at least I think it did...






If you're not feeling the bright purple pants, here is a way to ease into the trend.




These deep burgundy pants are by Hue as well. These leggings look like jeans but feel like you're in your favorite pajamas! They are so comfortable and flattering! $30 will get you this pair of purple pants and once you buy this pair you'll want one in every color!! Trust me, I have purchased 4 pair in a week!!!




Here's one more from Kohl's by Lauren Conrad. These are on sale for $17 right now and they are cotton jeggings. I have not seen these in person but I am sure they are cute!

My personal opinion with deciding which pants to go for is this-I like the Hue Brand because they have this awesome stretch to them so you feel like you're wearing Spanx/leggings which I'm always up for!! They are really flattering and look great on every single person I have seen in them! Go check them out!
The cotton jeggings are comfortable but not as flattering unless you have got some supermodel legs! Me, I cannot wear just cotton jeggings, I need some support! So I prefer more of a spandex/cotton/Lycra/whateverwillsuckmein type of material, that's why I prefer the Hue ones, thicker, supportive and comfy!

Now what I would wear with purple leggings would be simple colors, solid prints. I think darker colors would work best even though a white or creamy would look good. I would wear darker denim, blacks, whites and grays. Nothing too bold or that will compete with the purple.
