Covadonga is wearing a black leather jacket [charity shop].
I bought this dress knowing, after having tried it on, that the bottom was hugging my rear and hips while edging away from my chest and waist. Usually, I would have strayed form this unflattering template, as I have done with other lovely patterned numbers, however, this dress manages to do it in a nice way! It shows a bit of curve without being too tight and unwalkable, while gently skimming over my chest and upper torso. Somehow it works and makes me look, and more importantly feel, good! Moreover, I like this dress for it's subtle blue check which makes it look like a table covering, but hey, it feels like a high class one at least! I love the square neckline which means my collar bones sit nicely like they're on their own TV screen (I'm into symmetry and neat fitting things), along with the chunky straps. Finally, the dress has some silver buttons down one side to help me get in and out of it which look rather fetching too.
The whole thing feels a little bit grungy to me, especially as I've been mooching and slouching and all the other oochings and ouchings around the house in my long knitted cardi. Oh and my eye liner is getting more symmetrical, well worth the five double ended cotton bud attempts!
