Not much sewing has been going on around Chez HZC lately (due to exploding life syndrome). So in a desperate attempt to ensure that my faithful readers don't abandon me, I will be presenting some of my daily outfits over the next while (at least until I get my arse back in front of my Kenmore). Practically everything I wear has come off my sewing machine, so at least I'm still remotely on point.I made this top and skirt in January of this year, but didn't get any photos of myself wearing them. I don't wear a lot of purple as it is tricky to find a shade of purple that doesn't clash horribly with my hair. I think this outfit works because of the copper mottling in the lace top that matches my hair colour.
To finish off the outfit, I donned a pair of dark purple tights and a funky mother of pearl and silver filigree pendant necklace. The shoes are a new acquisition from Naturalizer - a funky pair of low heeled mary janes in a gorgeous pinot noir (purply burgundy) pebbly leather. Not only are they comfortable for clomping around school all day long but they are so darn cute!
**Although I have never been the perpetrator nor the victim of the dreaded "purple nurple", I have always been amused by this rhyming phrase. However, I can't help but wonder who came up with such a cutesy name to describe this weird bullying technique. Yeesh.

Very cute outfit and the shoes are great, thanks for the link.
Love that top. The fabric is fabulous! Purple nurple-ouchy!
Good idea. I often wonder what women who sew wear on an everyday basis. What becomes your go to outfit and what you never wear.
I also like the fabric on that top a lot. I am always on the lookout for interesting knits that aren't prints.
Great outfit! I'm also partial to Mary Janes...
I love the shoes. I think the way you've used purple is great. I bought some silk recently in an almost electric blue/purple colour. It reads purple to me, but DH says its blue. I could see you in that sort of colour, too. A friend of mine has decorated his living room in a particular shade of dark dusty lilac and a warm, rich caramel. I love the combination of those colours. Just when I thought I had my SWAP planned, inspiration comes again!
Wow, you taught me something new today! (purple nurple)
You MUST BE the sharpest instructor on your campus!
I expect that you have some very attentive boys in your chem classes! Seriously you look great.
Ooh, I love how the outfit matches your coloring. I love brown--I feel great it in, and it really suits you, as well. You're sparkling!
