Claire is wearing blue flowered boxy top [charity shop], thin denim trousers [charity shop] and black canvas hi-top trainers [Dunlop, from Sports Direct].
Covadonga is wearing a speckled blue scarf [free with a box of Roses chocolates about 10 years ago].
It looks like we're not wearing much today doesn't it? I mean, I have socks as well (they're zebra today) but you just can't see them. It also looks very minimal because we're ultra co-ordinated. All blue! Blue is quite a soothing colour, and I think it can be both neutral, like jeans, and stand-out.
Despite the colour matching, I'm throwing some different shapes today. My top is like a box, which is fine by me, as I love receptacles. Boxy shapes are great for those who, like me, are small of bust because boxes are meant to be flat. It also hides your general torso shape, and gives you a new one (box-like), but this top does give a call to arms. I don't think I've showed this much of my arm so far, it's nice ventilation and I can swing 360' without having to adjust a sleeve. Box tops are also great because they can be easily reversed due to not having a specific neckline shape on one side. And no one will be able to tell, even if the buttons are on the back, because that's just a bit edgeh.
My print today is a bit William Morris-esque with what I think are orchids and lots of swirling leaved stems. It's traditional and groovy at the same time!
