Someone once told me that as w get older purple can be quite flattering to older skin tones, and traditionally it is associated with Royalty, mysticism and the supernatural. One of the reasons why Edward II's 'friend' was so despised was that he chose to wear purple - the sumptuary laws in Medieval Britain forbad anyone but Royalty from wearing purple as it was such an expensive colour to use. So there you go, purple is a GREAT colour!

However, from a textile/design/historical perspective, purple was, for some time, one of the most expensive colors in which to dye textiles because the source of the color was in limited supply. So maybe you just love rich things. Yeah, I'd go with that. :)Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043113942704297697.post-6978207175684455092013-04-25T11:46:31.497-04:002013-04-25T11:46:31.497-04:00Fascinating when one discovers something a little ...Fascinating when one discovers something a little bit unexpected to one's conscious self and yet also something one has known subconsciously for a long time. I love lavender - it's the perfect balance of pink and blue both of which I also adore! Perhaps this means I can't make up my mind or something! May be we choose colours sometimes with the right side and sometimes the left side of our brains so that there will inevitably be two groupings. I like this idea because it's not limiting and actually holds together quite different colours with our own unique pattern of conscious and subconscious threads. So go for both! Earth tones AND lavender! Why not? E xThomasina Tittlemousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574272724724663796noreply@blogger.com
