Covadinga is wearing a pair of rainbow splattered culottes [Blue Rinse Vintage, Leeds].
Thought I'd go fancy today for my visit to the careers centre. All about good first impressions! It's meant to be evening wear, but I feel it's translated to daytime quite well, especially with the boots which proved necessary additions in light (or cloud) of today's downpour.
The dress is such a wonderful colour and pattern. It reminds me of the recent-ish fad for galaxy printed items, although I think it looks more like romantic fluffy clouds. The cloud patches work well to blend into each other with the magenta, Barbie pink, coral and purple. It's like a bowl of exotic fruit, like dragon fruit and plums and raspberries. And I say that as a great compliment given I don't eat any of those, or other members of their family willingly (I'm more of a vegetable and fruit juice kind of person). Moreover, it's made with some heavy kind of elastic built into the fabric, so when I jump it bounces up too, but it means the dress hangs down well, despite the lack of waist highlighting. The shape is simple, which compliments the pattern. And it's covered all over in dots of sparkle!! It makes me look like a walking constellation!
It's dramatic, yet subtle and for all its pink, I feel I'm a sophisticated kind of Barbie doll in it!
