Hi sweetie,
There is a book from I think the mid 1980's that you can pick up at used book stores or thrift shops for a buck or two called "Color Me Beautiful." This book very clearly shows each person what colors exactly work for their skin coloring, and it really works. The book may be older, but the principles are sound and not based on fashion but on simple facts about your coloring which are easily understood. Once you understand these facts about your coloring and the way color works with your skin tone, you will be astonished by how easily you will shop for fabrics and accessories, with complete confidence, because you will suddenly look so "right" in the things you will begin to naturally gravitate to.
Everybody can wear almost every color, they just have to wear the right shade of that color. For example, some skin tones require the clearest of pinks, and would wash out and look like death warmed over if there was the slightest hint of peach in it. Others are warmed and just blossom with the peachiest pinks. I can tell from your picture that you would be absolutely lovely in the right shade of pink, but as I said, picking the right tone and shade is really important. The same goes for the lavender with which you are wanting to coordinate it. It really does make a difference. The person who wears the very clear pink will, of course, need a pure shade of lavender with it, while the salmony pink might call for a hint of smoke in the lavender. Even shades of white and cream make all the difference in bringing out each person's prettiest assets.
Anyway, just an idea! It really worked for me, I read the book in an evening and a lifetime of fretting over how to dress was solved and out of the way.
Have fun with your new corset!
