Claire is wearing a long gold chain necklace with teardrop pearls [charity shop], teal and black and white striped top (H&M, from a friend], thin denim trousers [charity shop], grey thermal socks [George at Asda] and white creepers [charity shop].
Covadonga is wearing a black jersey low back dress [H&M].
Going classic today with a new top, acquired from my friends spring clear-out. I'm not the biggest fan of stripes, I must admit. I find them too linear and serious at times, so I've generally steered towards messier patterns. However, it's never too late to try something new and I felt this top was a good opportunity. It's got some teal at the top, so it's less severe than if it was entirely striped, and it's low scoop-necked. Basically, it's a bit of a cop-out but these features mean there are less stripes...
Likewise, I've not got back into the three-quarter length sleeves idea since I was about 10. I prefer the ventilation t-shirts and vests offer and I always have the option of a jumper with long sleeves anyway. I have to admit though, it is nice being warm enough inside the house without putting a cardigan on. The pocket is also a cute touch!
Along with the pearls today, I felt it was only right to put my red lippy on today, to complete the classic triangle of Breton stripes, pearls and red lips. Oh and jeans, the best classic item!
Strength through simplicity and colour unity in today's outfit.
