My obsession of the moment is purple leather. I am definitely a leather girl, all around - despite being vegan. There is something about seeing accessories in this shade that floats my boat. That leads me to think more about the color purple and what it is that makes me drawn to it. It’s my favorite color, though, most days I’ll say the rainbow is my favorite color, rather than choose just one. Purple and I go way back; when I was younger, if someone asked what my favorite color was, I would always say purple. My mom says I get it from her (which now I’m more inclined to believe is right :). Purple makes me think of royalty and splendor. That leads me back to loving Prince and the Revolution – I got that from her too.
Prince is/was all about purple. I was 8 at the time that Purple Rain – both the movie and the soundtrack – were the hottest things to hit the streets; I was his new convert. I wanted to be Apollonia.
With style trends leaning more on getting things from past fashion decades, the resurgence of the 80’s style is making me nostalgic. Having the perfect purple leather accessories may just help. Here are some items inspired by the rock/punk style of the decade that catch my eye…

Bringing in one (or maybe two) of these items into my wardrobe will give me the opportunity to wear some of the newest MavenFresh accessories!! That always makes me happy!! - sesheta
