The Color Of Emperors

Since I am only royalty in my own mind, I am gonna go with the following quote about Doc's favorite color, and the color I chose for today.

"Don't wait until old age to wear purple - be eccentric now!!!" Regina Brett

Here is the offending outfit.

The knit pants are by Express, the purple and black plaid chiffon tunic is by Byer, and the black sequin tank is Banana Republic. We are once again expecting a rain storm today or tonight, so I wore my black satin Elle trench and my black leather gloves for warmth and cover.

I used a black leather belt with large clear crystals from Nordstrom. I actually had it out to go with yesterday's outfit in case it needed a belt, but it didn't. Luckily, I hadn't put it away because I went out to the Crab Cooker last night for a friend's birthday.

I have the perfect necklace for this outfit as well - purple Austrian crystals with matching earrings.

On my right arm, I have an amethyst and opal ring and a marcasite costume cuff that I bought from a store on Ebay.

On my left arm, I have two silver Austrian crystal bracelets that I got in Philly's Chinatown, and a tanzanite ring.

I think it's cool that both rings are sort of a wraparound style, but this wasn't planned. Sometimes cool things just happen on their own. Since it may rain, I decided to wear my Steve Madden ankle booties.

Since today is Thursday, I am linking with Alice at www.happinessatmidlife.com for Throwback Thursday. And also, a new link with Jalynn at www.theredclosetdiary.com for What I Wore. Check 'em out!!!
