Claire is wearing a blue and white beaded necklace with blue turtles [charity shop], thin blue jumper [New Look], long red dress with pink carnations [Laura Ashley, from Mum] and black canvas trainers [Lee Cooper, from Sports Direct].
Covadonga is wearing a pair of large gold shell clip-on earrings [vintage shop].
Despite a very misty start, I got the weather I was promised, which meant I had to remove half my clothing when I got home after earlier dressing for about 2 degrees (my tights and jacket you understand, nothing too revealing rest assured). I compromised with my light jumper.
Apart from my lazy handiwork in leaving the label poking out, my technique is one I'm quite proud of. When something is too big or just shapeless, and it's too short to tie in a knot or I just don't fancy stretching the material that far, I collect it in a bunch and tie a hair tie in it (like a bizarre cloth front ponytail) and simply tuck it up and under the item. It help define the waist and you don't have to faff around with belts and baggy things! Works well for showing some midriff gap with high-waisted items.
My necklace, although the photo is too poor and faraway to see it clearly, has small blue turtles among blue and white beads. It's thin and simple, a bit childish. I bought it today and it was one of those glorious moments where you but something and you're like heck yeah cut the tags, I'm wearing it NOW! I love buying something and then getting instant gratification by wearing it out the shop door.
Fierce spending, that Pard knows what she wants the shop assistant must be thinking. Just remember to remove the tags first, otherwise you might look like you just skillfully shoplifted something to those on the street...
