Claire is wearing a brightly-coloured fish scarf (in hair) [Chinese bazaar, Spain], blue and white tile print dress with sunflowers [Leeds Vintage Kilo Sale] and chunky heeled black strappy sandals [New Look].
Covadonga is wearing a magenta, orange and green flowered low-back dress with birds [vintage Dorthy Perkins, from a charity shop].
My ensemble doesn't exactly go with my shoes, but I'm wearing them in desperate attempt to break them in before graduation. They're a bit too clunky with my breezy sack of a dress, but they possess a heel so ugly (I have no issue with block, but I don't like the horizontal striping on them that makes them look as cheap as they indeed were) that they're egdeh. I bought them because they were wide fit and they seemed comfortable and smart. A walk into town later, my feet are suggesting otherwise (I have a small blister on my big toe). Needless to say I have now packed plasters.
My sack dress though! It's an old favourite: it's airy and light for summer and you can wear it with a belt without the fabric bulging as some sack shapes do, or just let it all hang out! The print reminds me of Andalusian tiles in the south of Spain, with the blue and white, and the yellow arches are reminiscent of Moorish architecture, not McDonalds, meanwhile, sunflowers grow in southern Spain too! The patterning and colouring is just fantastic, and you can adjust the shoulder ties depending on how low you dare to go...
