Hi again! I'm back with the second installment of my mini-series featuring the Pantone spring colors this year (see the first
here). Today is all about another soft, sweet tone- lilac gray. This color is cool and relaxed. It's definitely a fun twist on a neutral for spring! I love the resemblance this has to my favorite blush tones, but challenges me to get outside of my comfort zone with the purple edge.
The traditional lilac gray is much more gray than it is lilac, but I think my interpretation still has a place in your closet. I love that this color is dark, yet bright at the same time! I hope y'all follow what I'm saying when I describe it like that. I feel as though you can truly wear it as a neutral but get a springy spin on things. Click to shop my favorites below!
I'm not sure that there's even one piece of purple in my closet right now, so this is probably a good place for me to focus. There's nothing wrong with purple, it just isn't what I gravitate to in the stores. I think this darker, more subtle take will make it easier to shop. I love the shorts and nail polish- as well as that lace trimmed top!
Stay tuned for my next and last installment of this mini-series!
How will you incorporate lilac gray this spring? What's your favorite piece above?
I have a lightweight sweater in this color and I love it! I can wear it with so much. I love that Free People top!

Oh, how interesting – just yesterday I (finally) chose the paint colors for our bungalow, and guess which palette I went with?! That's right – the entire house will be different shades of lilac gray! What a coincidence!
