Claire is wearing a black and white printed swimsuit [Edinburgh Woollen Mill] and zebra-print socks [Primark].
Covadonga is wearing a pair of black cat-eye sunglasses [New Look].
I know, the background is incredibly dreary, but the packing must begin, so it's bare Ikea going on from now!
Typing of dreary, I enjoyed a rainy and cloudy day-trip to Scarborough today, only to return to a sunny blue sky Leeds this evening. It was a lovely day though, we even went in the sea, briefly, but long enough so that our feet became numb to the cold they were being dunked in. Therefore, I sadly didn't get to wear the swimsuit I had so optimistically packed. So I'm wearing it now instead!
Swimwear is a minefield when shopping, but I've struck lucky with this one. I have a long body, so my costumes must stretch and not, quite bluntly, castrate me, also be wide enough for my backside, and not have all those cut-out bits, or underwired cups: I mean the list of specifications could go on. I went unconventional and tried this on in Edinburgh Woollen Mill while shopping there with my Mum and Nan (the targeted demographic of the shop). And it worked! I swear it's because it's designed for someone older that it's just better in every way. The ruching can camouflage a food baby, the print is monochrome so it's versatile, yet funky in its pattern. The straps are thick and won't dig in, it's amply cut for my behind and there's not a wire insight. It's a dream!
Also, swimsuits remove the need for tummy suncreaming, which is a faff!
This summer, invest in some unconventionally sourced comfort, because everybody is beach ready and therefore we all deserve to be comfortably stylish whilst suncreaming!
