Purple Nurple...

Kimberley's Outfit Inspiration Calendar called for a color mix of magenta, black, and white. I'm not sure if this is magenta, but it's about as close as I could get.

Last time I wore this skirt, I mentioned that I never know what other colors to pair it with besides purple and white. Well, black might not be a huge step, being that it's a neutral, but sometimes I work best in baby-steps.
I bought this top probably about 4-5 years ago, and I have always loved how the wrap detailing nips me in at the waist. Sadly, it's age is showing and the poor guy is pilling badly.

Does anyone know how to de-pill a knit top? Or how to prevent it from pilling further?

    I love your purple skirt!

    I think there are combs that you can buy at places like JoAnn's Fabrics to de-pill clothing. Good luck!

    The top is lovely! If its not polyester or something that will tear easily, they sell "shavers" for pilling like these:

    Good luck!

    Love this - have that skirt in the solid pink, love the pockets even more than the skirt itself.
