Lilac vs Purple

[bagpunk]

The dilemmas and internal turmoils continues. From one agony to another. The delicious torment of CL prevails...

Now. Since the consensus was that purple and lilac is a tad too close. I thought one in declic and one in VP is a good solution.

So I am wait-listed for a purple declic in Hong Kong (thanks to a fellow tPFer!).

And now I am wondering, is there a lilac VP out there?

Or, if there is a purple VP somewhere, then I'll go after the lilac declic.

Anybody know?

Oh, can anyone say if the purple or the lilac is a more appealing colour for you and why?

I am looking for a colour which pops but not harsh. Soft but intense at the same time. I have no idea if I am making sense here....

Although I think the lilac Declics are lovely, I don't really do pastels, so I would go for the purple.

 

[bagpunk]

ah. so the lilac is more pastel then. would you say this season's fuchsia fall under the pastel family laureen?

 

[laureenthemean]

I think the fuchsia is much too bright to be considered a pastel! I would definitely consider a pair of fuchsia Declics.

hee hee i am getting a pair of fuchsia VP. since the magenta and purple is going to be declics. do you think that is a good spread?

 

[laureenthemean]

^^Ooh, definitely! I love all those colors!

I'd LOVE to have a pair of lilac Declics but purple would be nice too. I like the fuchsia VPs, they are fun, too bad my husband disagrees LOL.

june, what did your hubby said about the fuchsia?

I like the purple better than the lilac, but it is definitely a pastel and is too light for my skin tone imo. Depending on what you want to spend, you could consider special ordering the vp's in purple suede from a boutique. I saw a CL shoe in a rich purple suede at NM a couple of days ago (I can't recall the style, but it had a topknot like a lady gres, but the sole & rest of the shoe was different). I loved the color and just wished it came in a VP or declic.

I prefer purple, the color is richer and 'pops' more than the lilac (which is also quite lovely, so I guess you can't go wrong either way )

june, what did your hubby said about the fuchsia?

He hated them and said they look trashy. He likes the style, just not the color.

congrats on all your new shoes

I perfer purple over lilac

I tried some purple VPs today....they don't look so good on me. Even my husband admitted the fuchsia looked much better LOL. So, I think if I get the Declics, I might get them in lilac.....if I can find them.

ah that is a good point: skin tone! i have no idea which will works better for my skin tone. i mean, there are occasions in the past where i thought one colour will good on me and shy away from another, when i tried them on, it was the other colour that looked good on me!

i have a light skin tone. certain colours can really make me look washed out. one lilac lipstick made my face looked black and blue! i kid you not! i was so shocked and from then onwards i took skin tone matching seriously!

so far, for clothing anyway, fuchsia, magenta, turquoise, and some shade of peach tend to work well for my skin tone. and funny enough, champagne (light gold) for some shoes (although this is not my favourite colour for shoes)

I havent seen any purple in person, but I do have the lilac declics and am very very fair skinned and love them!
