Claire is wearing a drop-waist pink floral dress [charity shop], a see-though plastic photo bag [second hand, from a fête] and brown gladiator sandals [Stead and Simpson, from a charity shop].
Covadonga is wearing a long sheer dress with brown watercolor patterning [Windsmoor, from Leeds Kilo Vintage Sale].
I'm breezing along in my dress again, feeling like I'm a 1920s-set episode of Miss Marple. It's so comfy, I never want to take it off! But inevitably it will be washed tonight, so I can wear it again...
As this is a repeat, today is about the accessories, or accessory! I bought my photo-bag at a summer fête for £1.50. It's roomy enough for all my bitsnbobs, like water, wallet, glasses, knitting and food; the only issue is that's it's transparent. Transparency is edgeh, but not everyone wants to peep the contents of your handbag. What's great about this bag is that the front is covered with photos! There are nine pouches each for a 6x4 photo. It means I can take my friends and memories everywhere with me and guaranteed no-one else will have this bag! I can change it up, probably advisable as I don't want the sun to lighten the pictures and I felt odd just bringing it home with the random family shots it originally came with in the front.
I feel like it's the kind of thing a proud Mum would have in the 90s, with all the various life stages of her children in 9 photos on her shopping bag.
