Today Angie's post was all about lilac and the colors it goes well with. It's a beautiful color, but also not one I think of a lot, like many people. My childhood was full of pastel clothes and itchy sweaters, so now I lean towards more sleek or funky stuff.

Yet I remembered I had a lilac turtleneck in my wardrobe, and decided to play with it. Lands End...they make such good turtlenecks.

First is the turtleneck.
Second through fourth is the turtleneck with thrifted striped tee and tropical colored accessories, including Nike Airforce One shoes...trying to pull in the orange.

5 to 7 is with a black skirt with sillver buckle, silver jewelry and layered floral tee.

8 is with jewelry.

9 is my least favorite--a baggy dress over a turtleneck sounds really cool, but didn't work for me. It is the mocha type color discussed in the blog, but maybe not my colors and shapes. I do like the charcoal hat and leggings with it for fall. Uggs looked terrible, so I put it with leopard pumps. Where am I going in leopard heels and a Target jersey dress? Who knows! Adventure awaits.

10 and 11 are an easy summer dress I forgot about--maxi dress from Cuddl Duds. Paired with silver flip flops, silver hexagon hoops, and a blue baseball cap.

PS--Angie, the last time I posted photos, you said they weren't working right. Let me know if these do. Thanks.
