some happy purchases.

I was wearing this outfit on Friday morning. In the afternoon, it was pouring so hard that even with an umbrella I was completely soaked (as well as everything in my backpack!!!). So I changed into something else by my afternoon class.

Swacket from Harputs Union, blouse from Taiwan, pants from Zara, Docs.

Mostly, I just wanted to wear these pants. You guys probably know by now that I generally don't like pants. But when I visited Zara, I found so many pairs of pants that I liked. A little on the pricy side for me, but it's rare for me to find a pair that fits well, is comfortable, and that I like.
The sizing for their pants are all different. I grabbed two different styles in my size and one of them was too tight, and this pair was way too loose so I had to size up in one and size down in this style. On the website, I think this one is called the "waxed trousers" or something like that.

Aside from the pants, I also bought a pair of Jeffries. They're not at all winter friendly, and winter is coming up. But that's probably why they were on sale for 50% off.These remind me of Urban Outfitters and springtime. I need to get a pair of high rainboots and a pair of sneakers too.

And maybe a few more tops and sweaters while I'm at it. My closet is lacking in the everything department.

This one is kind of a splurge too, but I've been meaning to buy it for months already, and the price hasn't been going down.I take instants so I can include pictures when I write letters back to my friends and family. I have the big bulky one too that takes nice sized photos, but because of its size, it is difficult to carry around.

I didn't buy this one; rather, my dad sent it to me. I'm putting it to good use.
Useful for when I have to stay in the workroom overnight to finish my work. Maybe I'll buy myself a pink one too.

Regarding the giveaway, thank you everyone who entered! The winners will be chosen and contacted later this week.

Love, Kaia
