Claire is wearing a pair of letter beaded earrings [handmade, bead set from Tesco, elastic from Leeds Kirkgate Market], letter beaded necklace [handmade, bead set from Tesco, elastic from Leeds Kirkgate Market], handmade children's pink, orange and purple patterned and striped dress [Spanish charity shop], black leggings [Primark], grey topped thermal socks [George at Asda] and tan leather boots [Topshop].
Covadonga is wearing a wide candy pink belt [charity shop].
Successful weather estimations with a small umbrella and light layers (I have my pink vest on underneath this tunic thing).
I bought this thinking it would be a great little (very little) dress. My housemates think it's not only hand-made but also hand-made for a child, hence the length on me, and why I've not been allowed out of the house without leggings instead of tights. It's a great little number though! Lots of colour and pattern in a satiny fabric with a wonderfully detailed purple stitching on the hem. It has some delightfully puffy sleeves too, which look like I possess futuristic shoulders. The elasticated waist is a nice touch.
It's childish but edgeh.
With a garment like this, I feel there's no point in not going over-board! Orange lippy, mini buns and personalised, home-made bead jewelry CHECK! I made some very cheeky earrings and it would have been rude (te-he) not to wear the whole set. The necklace still reads 'pardtastic' and my earrings read 'penis' and 'vagina'. Except my housemates have been reading them as 'sinep' and 'anigav' (which sound like gender targeted medical products) because I wrote them upside down due to the way the beads are printed. Nevermind, its the principle! I know I'm wearing them. As with a lot of clothes, it's your perception of self in those clothes, not the clothes themselves that's often most powerful. It's the bin-bag concept, except from the inside out, if you think you're fabulous, you will be.
Attitude and letter beads go a long way!
