Covadonga is wearing a metallic blue and brown geometric-print tie [vintage shop].
My camera isn't entirely happy being home, evidenced by the only decent photo is one where I'm busy adjusting...
I wore my big puffy dress today and I think I look great! It has a wonderfully full skirt and the pattern is delightful, featuring some of my favourite colours (light, periwinkle blue, dark orange, dark mint green). It's all very summery, with added flounce.The only issue is the straps: they fall down and stand above my shoulder a little as they're too long. Basically I don't have the bust to fill out the bodice shape. But meh, that's what the belt's for: to pin the dress down!
I'm also wearing a pair of espadrilles (which I highly doubt I will ever spell successfully) for the first time. I'm not entirely sure if I'm converted, I think it's because I need more of heel rather than just flat straw. I dig the ribbons though! Finally, I dived in with these small cat-eye sunglasses! I'm not normally a fan of small sunnies, there's no real reason, but I found this pair for £1.50 and thought why not?! I quite like their sophisticated vibe; I feel extra shady.
All in all, I feel a bit like Grace Kelly! With less grace given the only time I left my unpacking mission was to buy dinner at Tesco, but I felt pretty damn fab walking there!
