Purple Plaid






Outfit Details
Dress - Vintage from Ukay-ukay
Shoes - CMG

This dress was one of my many finds during my last Ukay trip! I actually almost passed up visiting this specific store, Daren is the one who made me go in just in case! While we were taking these photos, a little boy followed us, and was peeking over Daren's shoulder the whole time..He was so cute but his dirty clothes broke my heart! Daren asked him if he wanted to get his photo taken also. It was hard trying to get him to smile, he didn't speak any English...But luckily we have been studying our Tagalog lately. At the end of the shoot, we gave him 100 pesos (about $2 US, which is valued a lot here) and he ran off happily.

  1. You look great! the purple plaid is a nice chance to all the red/green plaid!
    The story about the boy makes me sad, but I'm sure he was happy about the money

  6. Aw, he looks so sweet! I used to know a little Tagalog when I was little but all I can say now is "mahal kita", which is important, I guess, but kind of cliche :) Keep up with the lessons!

  10. Really like this series. Particularly the first alley picture and of course the little boy. The dress reminds me of when my friend Toups (www.rigby-sydneytoups.blogspot.com) did an all over purple outfit. I think you commented on it actually. The picture of the little boy is fantastic but still breaks my heart.

  12. I love the picture you took of the boy, his top is so cool. Sometimes they have all the fun, clothes-wise. Your dress looks great too, purple tartan is so hard to come by.

  14. First off.. what an AMAZING boyfriend to convince you to go into a store "just in case!"

    Second off.. I love this outfit so much! Beautiful vintage plaid.. can't get much better than that. The purple looks lovely with your beautiful skin and dark hair.

    Thirdly.. the last picture has so much emotion to it. Wow, I feel like you can see right into his soul.
