Day Two Hundred and Twenty Three


Claire is away this week!
Covadonga is wearing a red rose clip [charity shop] and multi-coloured long skirt with velvet and ribbon layers [charity shop].



This skirt is a real show-stopper! I'm not too keen on folk-like clothing, but this is priceless. My friends think it's hilarious, but I love the madness of its multi-colour layers and its creator, as I think it's hand-made. Each block of colour is a flap over the last layer of fabric and it must have been tricky to make them out of not only velvet but ribbon! It's also a floor-sweeper so there's a lot of fabric. It just looks magnificent, like something an epic folk queen would don! 
Finally, there's nothing like a tiny flower to balance out a giant skirt!
