You know the saying, “Everything is relative”? It always surprises me to discover that this adage applies to colors. I think of these ponte pants as burgundy, maybe maroon. But paired with this dark purple tunic and orchid purple cardigan, they look far purpler than usual. Is purpler a word? If not, it totally should be.

I had the cutest outfit planned for today, friends. But when I woke this morning, I found myself in the throes of painful, violent, relentless … er … let’s just call ’em intestinal woes. And the last thing I wanted was a pair of skinny jeans squeezing my tum and nethers. So out came the ponte, the jersey, and the engulfing sweater coat. Plus those fabulously slipper-like Fryes. The skinnies can wait until my innards have stopped rebelling.
