Each year, Pantone picks out a color of the year with a specific theme. This year’s color is Ultra Violet, a beautiful shade of purple with lots of depth and that really strikes up the imagination. Plus, it’s the perfect color to wear this season!
A lot of depth
To me, ultra violet is not just one color but a spectrum of many shades of purple/violet. See it for yourself – Pantone describes it as exploring a greater galaxy, and galaxies are complex arrangements of color and pattern. For this reason I don’t just see this so much as one color rather than a range of light to dark shades of violet.
Fresh spring blooms
Ultra violet, to me, emulates floral arrangements. It stimulates the senses of sight and smell. It’s incredibly beautiful and evokes the feeling of spring.
Because NYC does get warmer, but is still generally cold during early spring, I’m wearing a short coat by LOFT. I also wanted a cute accent and tied up a purple Chanel bow around my ponytail. It’s the cutest little accent that was actually part of gift wrap! I’m really loving the hair accessories trends going on now, and this is just one of my favorites.
