“One color that I promise looks good on anyone is purple. Whether you are pleasantly pale or chic and chocolate brown, purple works due to the mixture of cool and warm undertones.” -Dyandra Raye

Purple is easily one of the most underrated colors in the fashion world. With just a hint of purple, you can make your entire outfit pop!

Take, for instance, Dyandra Raye’s “Passionately Purple” look. From head to toe, the color purple was utilized to it’s full potential through her lavender trench coat, floral printed body suit, and bandage skirt.

Dyandra Raye had this to say about her look, “The main purple tones are this BCBG bandage skirt from years ago and a recently purchased silk lavender trench. I never originally thought of pairing these two pieces together, but when I snagged this bodysuit fork BeBe for Howard’s homecoming, these pieces became a cohesive ensemble.”

Way to go Dyandra Raye! You’ve out down yourself yet again.

Be sure to follow Dyandra on her journey here.

In the world of fashion and personal style, versatility is always the key to success. Not only will you save a few dollars with a few versatile pieces in your wardrobe, but your dressing time will be cut in half when trying to create the perfect look.

Today, our girl MyAsia shows us how to rock a full-length leather vest in class. She states, “I’m covered in a vest that has leather exterior and a soft interior. It hides the queen t-shirt, but compliments the
leather boots.”

The shirt itself speaks for itself. MyAsia is a queen in her own right. Continuing with this theme, MyAsia decided to add some glam with her flashy tiara. “A true diamond in the rough; every princess has a tiara, with a twist. To add to my total pursuit, I wanted to capture my alter ego through my tiara,” she says.

What a great way to capture your royal presence, right? So, how do you think of this particular look? Feel free to share with us in the comment section below.
