I love the colour purple. I don't mean the book (although I do actually love that too), I mean the actual colour.
It must be a hangover from my goth days, it being the only hue I would deign to wear other than black.
Purple cheers me up, it makes me smile.
I spotted this dress on the mannequin of a charity shop in town last week and bought it on a whim. It was only £3 so even if I only wear it around the house, it will be worth it.
The positives:
- It's from Apricot - a label I buy often and I know fits me well
- It's purple!
- It's a jumper dress (I spend approximately 6 months of the year in jumper dresses)
- It was only £3
- I love the folksy forest print
The negatives:
- That weird braided yolk thing it has going on.
I'm really not sure about that. I fear it will make me look like an ageing hippy. I might have to take my quick-unpick to that.
Thoughts?
Linking up with Frugal Fashion Friday. If your 2nd hand buy is clothing or fashion, why not link up there too? x
I was once given a top from Apricot for my birthday and adored it - it was one of those things I'd wash over and over to wear it again! Love, love, love the pattern on this jumper dress - folky prints make my heart sing!

Love it Liz! Love the colour & print! What a bargain! x
ReplyDeleteGreat dress - I do love purple.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean about yolks - but the one on your lovely dress looks subtle and pretty. Gorgeous print too - love the way it's echoed on the sleeves x
ReplyDeleteI dont think i would wear it but its amazing that you managed to buy it for £3.00! Im wanting new jeans and I'm nipping to the charity shops first to see if I can find a bargain too.

OOh I am a big jumper dress fan so quick and easy and no waist!! You were a goth hey! I like this. Thanks for linking with the frugal fashion show!
ReplyDeleteIts gorgeous - such a bargain. Love the colour, the print and the neckline even with the crochet yolk. Lucky you. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely dress! Purple is my favourite colour to wear too. I love that it clashes with my red hair. x
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern and the color, and such a deal! I love purple too, I think it makes my green eyes pop for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever worn anything purple *shock* I'll have to give it a go. And I'd leave the dress be unless it looks really easy to unpick, I bet it looks fine on regardless of the yolk :)
ReplyDeleteLove that dress. Wear it with confidence, I'm sure it will look great!
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty, and I love the colour too.
