Claire is wearing a dark teal scrunchie [Leeds Kirkgate Market], black-spotted red kimono [Berketex, from a charity shop], green dress with red, yellow and white lilies on [Leeds Vintage Kilo Sale], white frilled socks [Morrison's] and black canvas hi-top trainers [Dunlop, from Sports Direct].
Covadonga is wearing a ladybird printed scarf [Spanish charity shop].
Rocking, what I think is quite a Spanish ensemble today! Ironic that my only outing was to film a short clip about reading and my favourite book (Bridget Jones' Diary, with A Prayer for Owen Meany a close second) for the English department, so I also had to look photo/camera ready! To mark the special occasion I concealed my chin spot and wore a dress that I trusted not to mishap. And that looked like normal day-wear!
I never really though about combining these two items but I slung them on, needing a cover-up for the wind and sun today, and low and behold it came together. Without wanting to sound like I'm describing a fancy bottle of wine, I think the strawberry red accents on the dress helped meet with the kimono, and likewise the black polka dots marry with the black highlights in the mix of the dress. Hhhhmmmm.
However, the kimono couldn't stop the heat from getting to me, even if protected my arms from the sun. Oh, I was like a dog in a hot car, sweating, not quite panting (didn't have any excess energy or vapour for that). Suffice to say, heat-tired muscles and reading at an odd angle while a camera slides along over your shoulder, have made my neck and legs grateful for bed!
