I’m a sucker for colour. Especially the colour purple (holler Oprah!). So this electric purple sweater from JNBY called to me. Naturally I paired it with gold (holler Lakers!). For realz, it’s my new favourite staple. It’s light enough to layer like crazy. Polished enough to wear to work with slacks. And cool enough to wear with [...]
