Day Ninety Seven


Claire is wearing a  zebra scarf (in hair) [Blue Rinse Vintage shop], [green dress with red, yellow and white lilies on [Leeds Vintage Kilo Sale], zebra-print thermal socks [George at Asda] and tan leather boots [Topshop].
Covadonga is wearing a pair of white flowered trousers [jumble sale].



Despite the heat and the sun-rays, I am wearing my boots again. I am stuck in the conundrum that occurs when one only owns one pair of formal/work-appropriate shoes. And as today is placement day, I am wearing them and bearing them. I briefly considered my creepers with thermal socks, but after the damage they wreaked on my ankles yesterday, I'm not quite brave enough to undertake that again just yet. 
I also had a hard time looking for things that are sunny and school appropriate. So I have gone for the traditional, long skirt without tights underneath. I feel my dress is modest enough to be suitable and colorful enough to be noticeable.
There are times for old favourites, this dress is one, but pairing it with my zebra scarf is too. If a look works, keep working it until it runs into the ground (if it's good enough, this shouldn't happen too soon either). The neural monochrome works with the black bits and white lilies on my dress and I've co-ordinated my socks for extra snazz.
