Day One Hundred and Eighty Six


Claire is wearing a green scarf with brown roses (in hair) [charity shop], navy, red, white and beige men's check shirt [Peacocks], men's blue t-shirt [Primark], blue rose-print skirt [St Michael, from a jumble sale], grey-topped thermal socks [George at Asda] and tan leather boots [Topshop]. 
Covadonga is wearing a blue stone necklace [charity shop].


This is my recycling day: half way through the week where I can re-wear bits of the previous outfits before the wash cycle begins! I've got my shirt and my skirt, which go well together as they're tied together by the binding power of blue, along with my tied t-shirt. The great thing about check or tartan is, if you're daring enough (which I'm sure you all are) is that, like leopard print, it can be treated as a neutral in the grand scheme of your pattern-scape. It helps if you keep your colours vaguely co-ordinated if you do it! I'm co-ordinating my scarf roses with my skirt and keeping the colours in line (tehe) with my tartan hues.
The flannel shirt is so cosy and it always looks just as good slung on your shoulders as it does around your waist. I'm waiting for mine to get to that nicely worn-in stage of snug-ness, but I think I'll have to wait for winter wear time for that!
