Claire is wearing a blue palm leaf print black dress [Vintage sale], white frilled socks [Morrison's] and white creepers [charity shop].
Covadonga is wearing a pair of blue with lime trim trainers [Nikes from a Spanish charity shop].
This is the dress I have been putting off wearing for several days, but today I decided to take the plunge and don the thing.
I think it's kind of 80s; it has a loose top and a skirt that flows from it, with a waist tie. It possesses a shape that always looks more beautifully draped and attractive hanging off the hanger rather than a person. It's a versatile piece, for days and nights out, given its length (not too short but not too long) and the sheer fabric (I don't know if it's meant to be this sheer or it's been worn). I very much like the palm leaves too.
I decided to wear my socks and my creepers, which I have recently found out are actually 'double' creepers due to their extra height. I wore them thinking they looked good, they matched my socks and, well, they looked really good. Then I actually walked in them. I have used 1 plaster already and I have a box to be cut to size in anticipation for the next prolonged movement. It turns out they wear better with thicker socks.
I trust my lesson will have been painfully learnt and my vanity sorely tested by the end of today.
