Claire is wearing a red edged jungle print scarf (in hair) [Spanish charity shop], amber, red and green printed dress [vintage Monsoon, from a charity shop] and leopard-print hi-tops [Topshop].
Covadonga is away this week!
Today I became a graduate! I didn't buy something new, I wore something I hadn't worn in a long while, which carries a similar feeling of novelty!
It's nicely fitted, but not body-con, so in other words, it hugs me, it doesn't boa-constrict me, which I wanted under my billowing bat-gown and hood. It's cotton and patterned busily so the hole from my emergency safety pin doesn't show (the hood kept slipping off and I wasn't quite ready to buy into the grad spirit and pay for magnets to hold it in place). It's just simple in shape and funky in pattern. It also contains green, which is the Leeds uni colour: I painted my nails and everything in an effort of co-ordination!
I did change my shoes to the blister inducing low sandals, which swiftly transformed into wet feet in the drizzle. I brought my hi-tops and socks in my giant photo-bag, a lot to carry but my feet were grateful.
The final and only issue was that sliding into the taxi back, my dress ripped from the slit up the back. At least it was leaving and not arriving, and the only thing expected of me at that point was to eat lunch!
Graduation congrats to all stylish grads!
