I think I'm getting over my "purple" block...

There is just something about purple....and me.  Maybe because purple is not one of my personal colors to wear.  So...what about just using purple as the accent with my kind of colors.  I think this worked out quite well.  3 different silk fabrics, the brown is beaded and sequined...it's gorgeous.  A little bit of sparkle angelina in the purple merino and tone it back down with brown silk over the back.  And a few dreads for fun!
