Layering with Purple

One of my favorite parts of work is getting complimented on my outfits. I know that may seem like a joke, but really, it makes my day when my coworkers validate my ensemble choice. (Haha!) What validates it even more? When 3-year-olds like them, too! There are few people in this world more honest than children ages 2-6, so when they're complimenting me, I know they mean it!

Lately, my kids have moved on from complimenting me to requesting outfits from me. (Silly? Yes. Fun anyway? Yes.) I take those requests pretty seriously. One of the girls in my class asked me to wear purple, and I had to oblige. Truthfully, I don't own much purple, but luckily I own this super-soft chambray-esque button-down, and this outfit was born! I felt like the best thing to do to make it interesting was pile on the layers - my favorite thing!

What do you think? Did I meet the "purple" requirements? (My little pal sure thought so!)
