Day Two Hundred and Eight


Claire is wearing a zebra-print square scarf (in hair) [vintage sale], silver geometric shape earrings [charity shop], men's mottled light blue t-shirt [Primark, from a charity shop], blue pineapple patterned beaded skirt [River Island, from a charity shop], grey thermal socks [George at Asda] and white creepers [charity shop]. 
Covadonga is wearing a hand-knitted white and yellow jumper [made by me!).


This skirt is one that's not worn often and throughout the course of my day, I've realised walking only exacerbates this issue. The waistband on this skirt has elastic issues; I say issues, the issue is that there's not much elastic left. It was fine this morning, it sat on my waist with the help of my t-shirt to lodge it there, but by the time I was walking home is was having a hard time clinging to my backside. By that time I had given up and let my t-shirt loose, which helped hide my desperate skirt situation. I love the print though! There's pineapples in the centre of each curled vine line. I love a good pineapple. There's something so pleasing about the shape and their tufty top, they're like real-life cartoons! If pineapples were people, I bet they'd be fun to hang out with a quirky dress sense: I'd befriend several. Finally, this skirt has a turquoise beaded fringe on its triangular hem, which is lovely and adds an extra pizzazz! The downside is the swishy noisy the beads make which made my think there were flies near me at times today.
I other news I appear to have adopted a blue theme, which looks set to continue for the rest of the week. I mean I'm not doing anything else...
