The Color Purple

She adored the color purple so she wore it every where. Purple clothes, purple feathers, purple streaks thru out her hair. Regardless the season, regardless the fashion, all of her out fits reflected her purple passion.. Some may have viewed her taste as repulsive. Perhaps her love of purple was purely compulsive? The last I saw her she was focused on her fitness. She was at that purple gym named Planet Fitness.

That girl is a fashion guru, or she just over ordered the purple material. I was thinking of getting a purple car, but have suddenly changed my mind. lol

I'm not in to purple myself and for the long time I couldn't even go to a planet fitness gym. It seems like they should have chosen earth tones with that name? Oh well.

This makes me think of my mother, (except for the planet fitness part!) for purple is her favorite color :)

it's supposed to be an empowering color for women but as a redhead with a lot of pink skin tones I avoid it myself. Thank you for visiting me Michelle and have a wonderful weekend.
