Morphe Into This

Hello!! It's been ages since we saw you last.

For those of you who don't know, Typead, our blog host, has been under a severe and prolonged DDoS attack - Distributed Denial of Service. It brought every blog to it's knees. We've been down since Saturday evening but some other blogs have been down for a whole 10 days. It felt like there was no end in sight, but thankfuly the Typepad team worked around the clock to get blogs back up and running. 

Such downtime can spell death for blogs and I have no idea how many readers this will have cost us, but say hello if you're still out there!

But back to the business of blogging....

Back early last month I featured a New Dheli based label called Morphe and I ordered a little top from them. It's always a little tricky ordering from labels which are not yet established as you need to be sure of the sizing, especially when they are only online and not in your own country. This is why I try and get something small to begin with to see quality and sizing, before possibly moving on to a bigger purchase.

I bought their Art Top. It's really well made but runs on the neat side, so perhaps it's a tiny bit smaller than I would have liked. I ordered a medium and I really could have used a large instead as it doesn't quite fit across the shoulders, making it rather unflattering at the arms.

It also took about a month to arrive. That, and the fact it's dry clean only, has made me think twice about making another purchase, if I'm honest. I did give it a gentle handwash and it seems to have survived fine enough.

However, I've been wearing it whenever we get little hints of spring sunshine, and over the course of the Easter weekend I wore it with an ASOS White dress underneath.

Hello *wave* Good to have you back KOS. I'll only stop reading if you ever stop writing:)
PS: Those shoes are divine! Have you still a link or the name of the ebay shop by any chance?

Hi! I'm still reading :) was just waiting for KoS to pop up again on Bloglovin' - I missed the daily updates. Glad it's all sorted now.

Silke, I had a look in my eBay purchase history to find the shop I bought them from, but it only goes back 60 days. I'll try and remember what my search terms were though

Huh, I wouldn't have noticed the arm issue if you hadn't mentioned it. I thought this outfit looked lovely as soon as you tweeted the instagram. Anyway, welcome back!

I forgot to say that every year I stop blogging for a whole month in order to take distance, perspetive and trek in Scontland; and my followers, the true ones, the ones that matter are always there when I come back.

Mis Papelicos and Angie, thank you for sticking around. Great to know you are out there x

I bought that top too after I saw your post! I picked a medium, thinking it would be a little oversized. Nope - I'm a size 8/10 and it just about fits, so long as I give up on having full movement of my arms. It's a lovely top though, and looks fantastic on you.

P.S. Glad to have you back :-)

Yay you're back!! I've been reading KOS since 2008, there was no way a creepy internet attack was going to stop me :)
I really like the colours and textures in this outfit, especially the collar against the pattern of the top.

Love this! Saw your hiatus issues on twitter. Sorry.

Not being able to see more than a preview on my rss reader has made me a less frequent visitor to this blog, but here I am, catching up. (Seriously, I understand there's probably some sort of page view reason for not having full posts on the rss feed, but it really is a hassle for readers.)
