Claire is wearing a selection of flowers (in back of hair) [New Look, Spanish Chinese bazaar], magenta, orange and green flowered low-back dress with birds [vintage Dorthy Perkins, from a charity shop], palm tree brooch (hidden from view on side of dress) [charity shop] and cream espadrilles with satin toes and ribbon [charity shop].
Covadonga is wearing a sheer reptile patterned olive dress [H&M, from a charity shop].
In regard to yesterday's boot try-out, I had two blisters on each heel and a sore on the side of my foot. Today's walking wasn't that pleasant, hence my choice of unspellable soft, kind shoe.
I finally wore this dress! I have owned and loved it for a while, but the issue lies in the, now unelasticated, waist band. The dress ties with two stripes of fabric conveniently where a bra strap would rest, meanwhile the elastic waist band sits neatly on my back inline with my waist. However, the dress is worn to the point that said waist band is not so much a waist band as a drooping reminder of one. An indecent reminder at that! The band just reached the top of my bum and I would have worn it like that today, but it was breezy and I wanted my kidneys to be more insulated. I've tried using safety pins previously but today I pinned a palm tree brooch on one side over the gathered material. Problem solved! No mooning undertaken!
Finally, I did my hair nice too! My friend does this, but better as she has thicker hair. I twisted my hair into three buns and covered the gaps and scruffy bits with my clip flowers!
