I am always pleasantly surprised by the first rate quality of recycled luxury brand clothing tee shirts I find inside a thrift store.  Whether its spring, summer, fall or winter having an amply supply of luxurious tees are essential.  So you know I was happy when I found this Tahari purple cotton short sleeve tee and not just because of the obvious reason the label but because of that color.  Common connotations for purple are: royalty, imperialism, nobility, upper class, friendship, passion, sharing, wisdom, and sophistication.  Purple is one of those colors for me that really ties everything up together nice and neatly.  It’s like a bridge sore of, it connects things -  it bonds so to speak.  I wanted to put this purple Tahari tee with this light blue Lacoste cotton skirt because I love to combine purple and blue, remember purple is the general term used in English for the range of color occurring between red and blue.  I think the Tahari top and Lacoste skirt together make this ensemble sporty & sexy.  Who doesn’t want that look????  If you needed to jazz things up a notch for an evening look then I added this black Laundry by Shelli Segal jacket with nylon & spandex.  With the right kind of flats this outfit will look like you’re in the ring with the big boys.  Don’t be afraid to mix color remember on the color wheel next to blue is purple so it transitions nicely, and then black goes with anything.  It’s a win win situation and everyone now wants to look and feel like a winner.  If there is anything on my blog that you are interested in please email me for price, additional photos and measurements.  Be sure to check out The Thrifters Boutique and follow me on Twitter & Facebook, also check out and watch my YouTube videos on thrifting.  Toodles for now.  Daniel
