Day Two Hundred and Seventeen


Claire is wearing a pair of small hoop earrings [Topshop], star-shaped flower necklace [charity shop], black playsuit with beige floral print [Miss Selfridge, from a friend], leopard-print socks [Primark] and black and leopard print creepers [charity shop].
Covadonga is wearing a tan and beige floral print scarf [Spanish charity shop].



The sun has been shining and I've been sweating accordingly. Do you know there's a sweat gland between your eyebrows? I didn't until this summer...
I haven't worn this playsuit out of doors despite my intentions to do so; it's just that I have crotch issues. I tried it on backwards, with a nice v-back and frontwards, with a nice low-cut, but I always felt I had a camel toe. I was haunted by it. My friends assured me it wasn't so and today a I took the plunge. I wore it frontwards, because what the heck. I got a few stares along the way, but it looks good and imagine what would have happened if I hadn't secured the button-less section with a safety-pin. Something this low means you create a perfect board on which to display a necklace, like my star. Eyes would have fallen out! It's short, but flattering as it's nipped in at the waist and has draped shoulders, which balances out my pear hips. The garment is also made of jersey that is mighty comfy.
Once again, one of my favourite fashion equations of short hemline, higher sock is in play!
