Claire is wearing a burnt orange cropped jumper [Primark], navy, orange and cream patterned culottes [St Micheal, from a charity shop], black tights [Spanish hosiery shop], black thermal socks [George at Asda] and tan leather boots [Topshop].
Covadonga is wearing an orange ribbon [Leeds Kirkgate Market] and light-peach thin cotton knit t-shirt [jumble sale].
More culottes! These are from my favorite vintage brand, the old Marks & Sparks. Their pattern is rather funky: there's spots, zig-zags and vertical stripes, all in one garment! The colours are great too, very complimentary I think. The navy and white combo can get a bit boring (I won't lie, I'm not nautical's biggest fan), but here the burnt orange breaks it up and adds a bit of edge to the pattern.
The material of these is thin, which is great for summer, which we are definitely not in yet, unfortunately. I have to wear tights underneath them, which I had never really considered before recently. I am becoming much more adventurous in the summer vs winter wardrobe divide! I sometimes feel like I'm in a period costume, with tight tights and billowy bloomers.
Finally, colour co-ordination is pretty much on point today, I feel! Go team!
