When the color of the year for 2018, Ultra Violet, was announced, there was a collective digital wringing of the hands. It seemed like everyone in the blog world was lamenting the amount of purple we would inevitably be seeing over the next year thinks to Pantone’s pick. The good news is: we may have been a bit too hasty. Trends often trickle down in unexpected ways, and the first iteration of the shocking purple color of the year comes to us in the form of soft, lovely, utterly dreamy lavender. I’ve rounded up my favorite pale purple pieces — all with an under-$100 price tag that feels just as light and dreamy as the hue itself!
When used sparingly, lavender is practically a neutral — just imagine that little Madewell crossbody styled with your go-to jeans and t-shirt. Effortless perfection. Or, you can opt for head-to-toe lavender for a cool, monochromatic look that feels very fashion forward without be too crazy (read: you’ll only get a few double takes on the bus in the morning). And can we talk about wedding season for a second?! A lavender lace dress is absolutely perfect to see you through all your summertime RSVPs.
