Nothing but yellow + purple!
Category: Style Diary
I wore this to the L.A. gay pride parade. On this trip, I’ve challenged myself to wear only two colors: yellow and purple. They happen to be my favorites at the moment and I stuffed my lavender suitcase full of petticoats, dresses and accessories in those two colors. Fun!
You could sort of see through the skirt my purple polka dot underwear. Haha.
I’m not the only one on the purple/yellow kick, check out those balloons!
- Petticoat & blouse: vintage
- Hat: looks handmade, not sure by whom
- Top: Betsey Johnson
- Eyeshadow: Lime Criminal
- Shoes: United Nude
- Glove: Bebe (yes, just one)

You look like a living doll! Gorgeous colors and outfit. Is that your real hair, if you don’t mind me asking… It’s so pretty and long. What did you use to create those waves?

LOOOOOOOOOOOVE crimped hair!
isn’t your shirt, hat, and glove breaking your 2 color rule? lol. unless they just look pink on my screen.

Very cute m’dear.
I’m a bit scarred by purple… it’s our school colors and also the color of our marching band uniforms. -shudder- not flattering in the least.
Maybe I’ll use you for inspiration on cute ways to wear the two. :]

So cute Doe! I love your hair =)

June 16th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Not loving the socks with the outfit. I think if you used the same purple/pink from the top, throughout the outfit the socks won’t look out of place. It’s not really the right shade =/

That outfit is really cute! I love the whole one-glove thing. :)

Very cute outfit.
As what others are asking, what is the nail varnish color you’re wearing? Could that color possibly OPI’s ‘It’s A Grape Fit’?

What method do you use to install your extensions? :D
LOVE the colour combos, wish I could wear colours like that but I don’t have the guts to pull it off!

Xenia,
Have you ever made a post about your flawless skin? I have to say every time i visit your site I envy your amazing skin! Is there anyway some of us can achieve a fraction of it? What treatments, toners, and cleansers do you use?

♣ Yulia
I straightened my hair first, teased it a bit at the roots, sprayed with hairspray and then used a crimping iron!
♣ Charlene, Aether, Kate & Zena
It’s a medium purple base (China Glaze in Spontaneous) and lilac glitter (Color Club in Tru Passion) on top. Took me half an hour to find the right combo but it came out beauuuuutiful!
♣ Kim
The shirt is purple, but the gloves is definitely more of a magenta. Hey, close enough! ;)
♣ Kristi
A little color variety never hurt anyone… not me anyway!
♣ Shay
It was my friend’s crimping iron and she said it’s over 10 years old. No one makes them any more, I don’t get it!
♣ Ellie
Who are Lakers and why is everyone talking about them? lol People thought I was a Barbie impersonator… maybe I was!
♣ SuperNothing
I wish I could tell you, but I’ve never worn extensions in my life. Don’t they use glue? Or some sort of clips? I use clips to put in the fake bangs…
♣ Moni
A little?! A LOT! :D
♣ Mistral
Yes I did. :) I should expand on it though.

What an adorable outfit!
Your crimped hair is beautiful.
Did you enjoy yourself at the gay pride parade? What was it like?
[Reply]

Everyone searching for crimping irons on the cheap should definitely take a peek at their local thrift store. I know there’s always a few lazing about around here! I actually still have mine! This has totally inspired me to break it out again!

Welcome to Los Angeles darling! If you will still be here this Saturday, you should make your way over to the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Santa Monica blvd. I’m not sure if you have ever seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but this weekend for father’s day we are having what we call “boy’s night.” Basically, all the roles will be played by guys. It’s always entertaining.

Purple and yellow are my two favorite colors. You look adorable, hon. :D
(And BTW, I still have my crimping iron from when I was about eight or nine years old….back in 1989! And it still works. Used it for 80s Night at Rocky Horror a couple of months ago!)

Do you have any idea where I may be able to find an old vintage crimping iron (the pink ones we all had ion the 1980’s?) I have been trying to find one to purchase online with no luck! Any suggestions? Thanks!

May I ask what brand you use for hair dye. I’ve been finding it hard to get a decent red hair dye lately.

Now that, my dear, is one daring outfit!
I love how you weren’t afraid to match totally different shades of purple — Magenta, lavender, fuchsia … Lovely!
