Claire is wearing a dark teal scrunchie [Leeds Kirkgate Market], long blue hand-knitted cardigan [knitted by my Nan], sheer reptile patterned olive dress [H&M, from a charity shop], grey thermal socks [George at Asda] and black and leopard print creepers [charity shop].
Covadonga is wearing a fitted fuchsia dress [Leeds Vintage Kilo Sale].
I nabbed this dress for £2! It's from H&M originally and at first I thought it had some poor stitching along the sheer fabric seams and the neckline,but I have come to the conclusion that it's just the fabric itself that falls in an odd manner. And the fact that it has some kind of mini-pleat/gathering thing going on subtlety on the neckline. I claim this fabric is 'reptile print' because quite frankly I don't know what it is! It's continuous patches of small circles and blobs which in the light turn a darker olive and appear textured. It's not snake skin, too round for crocodile, but's not a spotted mammal like my shoes, it could be feathers, a small kind of feather? In which case my dress is printed like one of those feathered dinosaurs I saw on Dinosaur Planet (really great program, very informative) which were scary as heck! Finally the dress has spaghetti straps, those fancy thin ones which allow for extra collarbone exposure.
I think I look a bit grungy today in my dark shades and long baggy lengths! No accessories, but that's out of rush and laziness on my part this morning...
I love today's look, sadly you can't see the print in the picture.
