Claire is wearing a pair of peacock earrings with fake jewels and pearls [Leeds Kirkgate Market], men's denim shirt [charity shop], black leggings [Primark], zebra-print thermal socks [George at Asda] and tan leather boots [Topshop].
Covadonga is wearing a lilac-flowered and veiled pill box hat [charity shop].
I'm back in my leggings and my over-sized shirts, cowering against the wind and rain instead of basking in unusual April sunshine.
I know I've worn this combination several times before, I hope you don't find it too repetitive, but that's why it's a classic! Comfy, slightly sleek, base colour black leggings, topped with a wear-with-all blue denim, large comfy shirt. Perfect for working days, lounging days, average days and, perhaps with some ironing, work placement days. And with tan boots, all bases colours covered. And I'm covered, which is also important.
When you have a simple outfit, it's good to have a statement piece, a feature, and today my feature is my pair of earrings. I spied them when strolling through the Wednesday Asian Market. They could look tacky but I love them and their over-the-topness and the peacock helps this, it looks regal! I'm not normally a fan of pearls but in with other colours and (fake, very fake) jewels, they look good.They are, however, heavy and my lobes I doubt will last the day laden with these brightly encrusted babies!
My hair is slightly odd too, I have reversed plaited it (starting from the nape) then pulled the the plait draped over my face back over itself so it looks like a small quiff and I have a plait running down the middle of my head. All very backwards!
