This whole outfit is inspired by the Pantone color of the year which is the Radiant Orchid. When I found out that the pantone for 2014 will be a shade of purple and pink undertones, I was thrilled because it was one of my favorite colors. The color conveys such feminity with suble inner strength.

But I love what the Pantone website had to say about Radiant Orchid:

” Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.”

I am personally inspired by colors when putting together outfits. In more than 2 years of blogging, I have only worn black and white combined or just plain black in my outfits just a few times. I think I have mentioned this before but our outfits say a lot about our moods and often times the colors of what you’re wearing can set your tone for the day. When I’m picking an outfit, it has a lot to do with colors.

As we approach Spring, I would imagine that there will be more clothing items in this shade. The skirt and the top is still available at Pin-Up Darling,  so if you want to get your hands on them, click on the link above, it will take you to the actual product page. I don’t believe they will have them any longer since this color is becoming hotter by the day!

Now in case you haven’t noticed, my necklace is also inspired by Radiant Orchid, which I found from Daisy Gem. Here’s the deal, you can get 10% off with any of your purchase using LYN10 and 10% of your purchase will be donated to my non-profit organization of my choice Pet Hub Rescue. Some of you may know that I am a huge animal lover, dogs in particular. About a couple of weeks ago, I almost lost my 8 year old chihuahua when he got into a fight with another one of our dogs and he had to have an emergency surgery. Thankfully, he is safe now and has recovered fully well. I chose Pet Hub Rescue because it’s a no-kill animal shelter here in Pearland and they need every help they could to save the lives of the canine babies in their shelter.

Hope you are inspired by this outfit and thanks for letting me bombard this post with a ton of pics. (We got carried away shooting, there was a ton of good shots!)
