"Purple-xed" (The Purple Phase Declaration)

Purple has never been my favorite color but clearly with these evidences I rest my case...

I'm on a purple phase.

Exhibit A

Don't know what Orj was thinking when he bought me this watch last year. He ranted a couple of times that I didn't appreciate the gift. I vehemently denied it. How do you positively script "honey purple is just not my color." ? Well he can't complain now because lo and behold, it's my wrist candy for two weeks in a row.

Exhibit B

I get excited over swoon-worthy booties but never on sporty shoes. Orj said he needs a jogging companion so I was "coerced" to buy this pair of rubber shoes last month. I gave in because at least I got to choose the color. The diva in me wanted nothing less than eye-catching so purple it is! (Btw, the jogging only lasted for a week. Apparently it was also just a I-want-to-be-healthy phase.)

Exhibit C

I made a promise to Orj since we started with the preps that I will abstain from shopping. 5 months to go and I'm yet to live up to that promise. I snagged a great deal for this Barney flats so I told Orj that I bought it because I a new pair of shoes for our prenup. He didn't buy it..LOL..not when I'm strolling at the office with my happy feet as soon as I got hold of this pair. Here's a snap from my station:

Exhibit D

Let's call it the culprit. This dress might have started it. I'm eyeing hand-painted silk robes for my prep dress but I changed my mind after seeing this dress. This is part of Jun Escario's stunningly romanticized 2008 Collection. I don't want to go overboard with the theme but I can't help but swoon over anything that's 1920s-inspired. Vintage+Purple- who wouldn't fall for that? It sure made my heart go pitter-patter.
