I’m not talking about your sweet lilac purple, but really inky, deep, dark, bright but intense sort of purple.

The most famous purple dress for me was the one Michelle Obama wore.

All I can say, is that if I see a reasonably priced intense purple top or dress, there ain’t nothing stopping me from buying it and greedily adding it to my wardrobe for that perfect shot of colour.

But for now, tights will have to do, as a cheap way to cure my colour lust.
