There's something about lilac that just feels like spring. It's probably the softness of the color that is so refreshing after a stronger and darker winter palette.

Here are some of my favorite ways to bring it into your wardrobe:

1. ME+EM has just arrived on Madison Avenue. This London brand is one of my favorites. I love this layered look of lilac under a stone jacket. Add in the white pants -- and I'm all in. The cashmere here is a hooded vest (there is also a regular hoodie option). 

 

2. For a much more affordable option, I found this sweater on amazon. It's cozy (cotton and polyester blend). 

3. The lilac looks great under navy.

Here I have on my Coat from iBLUES (a division of Max Mara). It feels the same as their main line but much more reasonable. I bought this last summer when I was in Italy for Matthew and Lauren's wedding. They don't have it anymore -- but you get the idea. The lilac will pop underneath any navy coat. 

4. Silver Metallic gives this outfit that added interest.  This is our Silver Metallic Belt Bag that I usually wear as a crossbody. It's my go to bag for running around and being hands free. 
5. You can also bring Lilac into your bag design. Here it is on our classic Midi East West Bag in Grey Leopard
6. Perfect Small touches. Add either a makeup bag or clutch with your favorite design in lilac.
