Purple Reign

After great analysis, I've decided to blame Prince for my attraction to purple.  Yes, my exposure to the 1984 movie/soundtrack has guided me to purple. Now I know this sounds like I've not got anything better to do but analyse why I enjoy the colour purple but sometimes, these things are important - to me - just because.  During another seemingly unrelated self-analysis I noticed when it comes to great vintage finds I have officially diagnosed myself as a sufferer of retro-fash amnesia!  I don't know how to sift through the clothes of yester-year and pluck a treasure.  It's as if my keen eye for anything amazing and the ability to incorporate it into my wardrobe escapes me!  I did get lucky however with this early 80's vintage YSL jacket - and it's purple!! What a win! Well purple primarily, the 80's definitely had a knack for colour explosion...

P.S That delightful little iphone snap at the bottom features Gok Wan.  Yes, I often love a good Gok's Fashion Fix re-run especially at 4am after a night out (it just makes sense) and yes I did go visit my local shopping mall as Gok happened to be appearing live and yes I do basically love Auntie Gok...
