Purple Friday! Errrrr... Wednesday!

Usually on Fridays I rock black and purple in support of my home team, the Baltimore Ravens! Woot!

However, since I'm off work the rest of the week for Thanksgiving, I decided it was absolutely necessary to bring black and purple to life on the blog today in spirit & support of the Ravens game tomorrow!

Because I'm doing Purple Friday on a Wednesday, I needed a more mid-week work-appropriate ensemble. Here's what I found-- the one and only Geri Halliwell. Don't judge me. Spice Girls live on.



And, in usual GJU style, I added in a few other colors/accessories to spice it up. 



Let me first just say that my Missoni for Target bag is major. You've got my favorite color combo representing big time (purple and green), and you've got some black, white, and a splash of pink to girl-it-up. I'm excited to work this bag into more outfits. 

Secondly.. although I'm not averse to taking fashion risks, I was still a little nervous to leave the house (not on a legit Purple Friday) in purple tights. Between the bright scarf and tights, and the busy patterned bag, I felt I looked a little like this. However, after seeing the outfit come together, I was pleased with the result.

What do you think-- would you wear colored tights? 

Make it your own:
Dress: J. Crew Factory
Tights: Target
Heels: Madden Girl, Loehmanns, about $28
Bag: Missoni for Target (got on clearance for under $30!)

  1. Love this outfit! I'm also a fan of the purple & green combo!! ...but I'm always afraid I'll look like the Joker circa Batman, The Dark Night! This looks super fab on you though! Go Ravens!!! :)
