Claire is wearing a pair of skeleton earrings [handmade, skeletons from Afflecks of Manchester], powder blue cotton shorts [Land's End, from a charity shop], men's off-white t-shirt [Primark], plush crocodile rucksack [charity shop], white frilled socks [Morrison's] and yellow canvas hi-top trainers with orange and purple rabbits [Converse, from a friend].
Covadonga is wearing a plush panda rucksack [Spanish jumble sale].
Feeling cute today and reverting to my shoe size (a modest six) instead of my years (an ever-growing 22). I've kept it classic, basically simple but nice, with my plain but not dazzlingly white t-shirt paired with my fantastic breezy blue shorts. These shorts are one of my favourite items this summer' they wash well, their cotton is breathable, despite them being nowhere near my lungs, and the colour is whimsical yet useful. I basically look like a cloud atop a blue sky. With a flying crocodile at my back.
I bought Snap, as I have un-originally named him, recently after spotting him in a charity shop toy basket. He's delightfully soft and plush, despite some green shedding today. Unlike my panda, who has spinal stuffing, or severe shame, issues which mean he cannot look up when on my back, his head is always drooping forward, Snap's snout protrudes forward most enthusiastically! He looks fantastic and the woman at the Tesco checkout noticed him too. Like mini-rucksacks, animal rucksacks are not just for children. In fact an alarming amount of edgeh trends have stemmed from childhood: frilled socks, scrunchies, shiny T-bar shoes...
Anyway, it is nice to know someone's got your back, even if their teeth are made of felt.
