Claire is wearing a long gold chain necklace with teardrop pearls [charity shop], long red dress with black and white flowers [Leeds Vintage Kilo Sale], long dark green trench coat [charity shop] and black canvas hi-top trainers [Dunlop, from Sports Direct].
Covadonga is wearing a dark red rain coat [Shore Leave, from Urban Outfitters].
I know we look all dressed up for a cloud burst, but at that point in the morning, it was actually raining. Then on the walk in, it stopped and it became abruptly clear it was going to be sunny instead. And windy.
I wore my red dress without tights, so summer is enroute if not fully arrived just yet. That's the great thing about long dresses; they're for winter and summer, and the awkward moments in between, like autumn and spring. Also, the joy of tighter fitting dresses, basically tubular fit skirts and not flaring skirts, is that wind is not so much of an issue. Limited flapping and Marilyn Monroe-ing. Bonus because you can be cheeky and undo a button to let your lower leg wink at the occasional fellow pedestrian.
My coat is great, after spying someone wearing a long green coat and looking pretty fine in her doing so, I nabbed my own. Mine has a lovely pink and yellow floral lining and pearly green cuff buttons. The hood it came with is long gone, the domed shoulder pads are, sadly, not. I love a good shoulder pad, but these are verging on sandwiches, and when I wear my rucksack lord knows how lumpy my shoulders appear!
