80s PURPLE

1-13-10 1

Remember waaaay back in September when I was lucky enough to attend the Weardrobe Conference in NYC?  Well, I just finally got around to cashing in one of the gift cards we received from yet another generous sponsor ... 80spurple.com.

In true Blue Collar form, I waited for a crazy sale to make sure I got the biggest bang for my buck.  My order arrived yesterday, and I immediately styled up this simple knit dress and groovy specs for proper wear.

After trying on just about every scarf I own, I finally decided that the only one I thought wouldn't work was actual the perfect touch!  And with Julie's awesome little tutorial, I was able to wear it a giant cowl neck, just as I envisioned.

Unfortunately, I missed the sun today and had to take indoor pics.  But, on the bright side, I can already tell that the days are getting longer!  Woohoo!
