Claire is wearing a pair of gold and leopard hear-shaped earrings [from a friend], star-shaped flower necklace [charity shop], wrap front top with yellow, brown and blue flowers [charity shop], thin denim trousers [charity shop], grey topped thermal socks [George at Asda] and black canvas hi-top trainers [Dunlop, from Sports Direct].
Covadonga is wearing a chocolate brown snake-skin cross-body handbag [St Michael, from a charity shop].
This top has been stealing all the attention today, which is probably a good thing, given that I indulge my vanity everyday in these selfies and paragraphs, it will do my ego some good.
Maybe...
This one of the few tops in which I have kept the shoulder-pads, partly because they're actually nice ones in the same fabric, unlike some which look like they've been cut from ugly flattened pillow insides. However the main reason is structural! If I removed them I fear the top would be overly draped and the drape would become an exposé; as it is, they help hold my top up and stop me from embarrassing myself too much. The wrap drapes low enough as it is, next time I resolve to wear a suitable brooch. It's a lovely pattern though, the colours work very well together in the flowers and it's loud and kind of subtle at the same time, I think. The sleeves are generously cut and I can wear the whole thing backwards too if I please, or want some back-drape.
Again the rule of crop top and high-waisted bottom are working out well for me. I've got my complementing accessories thing trundling along nicely too. Leopard works well with this floral owing to the colours and it's nice to have something tacky and heart-shaped occasionally!
