Mauve-lous


One color that I find myself really loving at the moment is mauve. It is like that mauve is a softer color like a light purple. Mauve is a very feminine color to me and it is a color that works with an outfit for any occasion.

Look One

I love how the fabric is folded and gathered in this mauve dress. This dress doesn't have alot of decorations added but because of the way the fabric moves it doesn't look simple and easy. Mauve and gold are a great color combination.

Look Two

This top is so cute with the ribbony, silky detailing at the top. The jacket adds a little edginess to this look. This would be something that I would wear out with friends.

These are some of my favorite mauve items that I found on polyvore. My absolute favorites would be the floral print dress, which would be great for spring, and the ear muffs! They are absolutely adorable.

Mauve is a wonderful color that can be incorporated into a number of looks. What's your opinion on the color?

    i feel like mauve got kind of a bad (i.e. boring) reputation in the 80s. but you're right...in it's updated form, it's totally chic. really liking the outfits you put together!
