Outfit in shades of purple

Hello stylish ladies! What is your favorite color? I have to confess that my love is the color of purple, in all its numerous shades. And my today's look, except for the bag and shoes, represents this love. To tell you the truth, it's not that often that I manage to find interesting pieces of clothing in my favorite colors. This lavender faux fur coat and the lilac corduroy skirt happen to be my recent purchases. To find a fur coat in such a color - it was just rare luck! And a skirt in lilac, you don't see it around that much, too. So, finding these two lovely pieces really made me happy. And I've been just waiting for suitable weather to be able to wear these newly bought things. And so, the day has come!

Patterned coat

Winters are very short in Kathmandu, one needs wearing a coat or a jacket for no longer then one month. So, one doesn't need to have a variety of coats and jackets as there will be no time enough to wear them all. And definitely I didn't need yet another coat into my wardrobe. And I didn't plan to buy any. But...how could I leave this one? The pattern, the colour...and those pockets...I couldn't resist.

Folk style in winter

On the 1 of every month Natalia from the In The Writer's Closet blog, along with her co-hosts Tina and Beate, feature a link up called Modish Matrons (Natalia gives an interesting explanation where the name of the link up came from). Each month one of the three ladies presents a theme that inspires her. The January's theme is Russian Winter Fairy Tale. And here is my interpretation of the theme.

Floral summer coat

As we all know summers in Europe are quite unpredictable and some days can be quite chilly and one has to wear a sweater or a jacket on such days. But look what a lovely alternative to those sweaters and jackets I found in Belarus - a summer coat. It is very light but will keep you warm when temperature outside drops to 17- 19C and it looks so lovely, like a dress. I especially like its delicate floral print.

Wearing red in winter

I noticed that in winter I wear red quite often. Much more often than in summer. I wonder why...Does it have some warming up effect on me? Or perhaps it just cheers me up more than any other colour. Though why would I need cheering up? Winter here is not as gloomy and grey as in Europe, on the contrary, the days are full of sun light and many trees stay green. Oh well, whatever the reason...as in my previous post, today again you can see me wearing red.

Maroon coat and a la 20s hat

I am  back in Nepal, returned just two days ago. But on these photos I am still in Belarus. The last week of September the weather turned very cold there but I was glad nevertheless. Because I could finally wear this Monsoon coat I took with me. It is quite light, made of velvety fabric which is so soft and pleasant to touch.

Knitted coat

My recent purchase from London. I found this knitted coat at Camden. The colour is not exactly mine but I was attracted by the faux fur collar and those bright details which perhaps were inspired by Desigual.

Last days in London: exhibitions and dance show

I am back in Nepal. Really enjoyed my time in London. Besides browsing the city's shops I paid a visit to the Museum of London and two interesting exhibitions - Isabella Blow, Fashion Galore at Somerset House and Pearls at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Mustard faux fur coat

Today it is the first official day of winter. But the weather in London has been rather wintery for some time already. No surprise I am wearing this faux fur coat here instead of my usual black one that I brought with me from Nepal. I was simply freezing in it.

A new coat and a dance show from Russia

Just a few days ago I bought this new coat. Winter sale has started here and I got it with 50% discount. Though cold season is almost over here in Kathmandu, still I couldn't resist to buy it. And yesterday I got an opportunity to wear it anyway. We were invited to the Russian center of Science and Culture for the Ball Dances Show by a dance group from Karelia. The show was spectacular, I enjoyed it so much. Popular ball dances like rock-and-roll, foxtrot, waltz, rumba, salsa and many others were performed. And I liked the costumes of the dancers, so beautiful.
