Fashion Friday: Purple Rain
So it rained today, and I was wearing a lot of purple. This was the outfit I was wearing a couple of days ago, and I wore pretty much the same thing again. I usually have a bunch of pieces that I mix and match but I had to wear this complete outfit again because I really liked it.
I got the top quite some time ago, but I don’t really remember where from. I have received a lot of compliments on it, both for the mesh/netting and the teddy bear print. Not to mention the colours.
I got my boots from Japan. Shoes were only about ¥3000 at a certain store when I went there, so I bought this pair and another pair (although I was originally only going to get the one). It is far from winter (it is still autumn!) but it has been really cold in the office lately and I just adore these little boots. They have a wedge heel inside the shoe – someone at work said it was like a wedged ugg boot. I wore them with the tops up, but I can fold them over if I like. I like the extra height they give.
The red and purple socks were lucky. My mum gave them to me only recently. They are pretty cute but I don’t imagine myself wearing them if I wasn’t wearing purple elsewhere in my outfit.
Since I got a new job, my aunt has been lovely enough to make me some skirts. She is a dressmaker, and I am in desperate need of more formal work-like clothes, including skirts and shirts. I didn’t think purple would be too great. But it is one of my favourite colours, and it turned out great.
I got my pink ring off eBay, my bow ring from Japan and my red beaded bracelet from Hong Kong.
Beautiful thank you to Seb for taking these photos today. :)

That top is so cute and I love the accessories. XD
I’ve been trying to find a pair of boots with the wedge heel inside, but I can’t get any that look right. I’ve got scrawny ankles, so I have to be careful what I wear.
Love this outfit as a whole though. /bounce

Love your top! I think the pattern is cute, and the netting looks really cool like that. That’s also so nice of your aunt to make you some skirts. It’s a pretty shade of purple! It makes me want to make some of my own clothing now, haha. You look great in the photos!

Georgie! We haven’t spoken in so long, how are you? I hope you haven’t forgotten me, your affiliate from about 3 years ago I think?
I was looking through my old bookmarks and clicked on a certain heartdrops.org…you’re the only affiliate I still have the blog/website of! I have to say I do miss reading your blog posts regularly and talking to you on twitter, even though our mindsets from back then were definitely very different to how they are now. However, I must admit that they were a major source of my enjoyment back then!
By the way, I’m loving the top! Purple looks good on you.
We must definitely speak sometime. ;)

Hi Deena! If you think I’ve forgotten you, you’re certainly wrong! Thank you for dropping by again, I hope you have been well in the past year or so that I didn’t hear from you. :) We did talk a lot, it would be hard to forget you, haha. I’m sure we have both grown up a bit, respectively.
I guess it’s a good thing I still hang onto Heartdrops.org, that way a few old friends could find me. Feel free to send me an email if you ever want to chat or ask me something.
Thank you for your lovely comment! ♥
