I can’t take full credit for this week’s color crush because purple isn’t a color that I’m typically drawn to, at least in its most natural form. It’s a color that my three-and-a-half-year-old loves; she’ll usually say one of three of the same group of colors when asked her favorite color: purple, red, or pink. She’s a girly-girl at heart, even though one could mistake her for a paleontologist because of her knowledge about so many dinosaurs.

Though the color purple by its lonesome doesn’t strike my fancy, I have to say it looks exceptionally lovely paired with muted golden and tan tones.
