Color Crush: Lilac

I've never been a lilac person (or a pastel person in general) but with the changing of seasons I'm being drawn to color, color, and more color.  It's highly likely I'm grasping on to any hue in arms reach because I am so sick of wearing black.  All winter long I've worn blacks, grays, and browns with little hint of color mainly because I'm not used to dressing for frigid winters yet.  I stayed in the 5-6 same sweaters and pants throughout the season.  So, I've declared a personal moratorium on buying any type of clothing in black. Instead, I'm craving bright, happy hues like tangerine, sea foam, bright pinks, and now lilac:

To me, this soft purple is the perfect color to welcome spring.  It feels refreshing and crisp, without overpowering an outfit (or an interior)!

I love that designer Tara Finfold along with her client chose to paint this bathroom cabinetry a happy lilac.  Paired with brass hardware and mirrors, the color pops and livens the space up.
