Claire is wearing a white and yellow dress with polka dotted overlay [Leeds Vintage Kilo Sale], black and white Doc Socks [Dr Martens shop] and tomato red Dr Martens [Dr Martens shop].
Covadonga is wearing a yellow wooden-beaded necklace [Spanish table top sale].
Today's dress is worn partly on principle, as I didn't want the blog to end without wearing it! This is the 'sweet dress', coined as it looks like some kind of lemon sherbet wrapper. It's pretty bizarre and hands down one of the most ridiculed pieces in my wardrobe. I tried it on at a vintage sale and I loved it! The colours are very happy and summery (I wore it to a Church fayre today)! The shape in itself is odd and a bit complicated. The item is composed of a yellow dress, which is white at the back, attached to a yellow polka-dotted coat over it, which buttons with a frill. The low cummerbund doesn't restrain my stomp too much luckily, but my ruffle shimmys attractively!
The downside is, it's so downright peculiar looking that people stared at me all day. A pair of 11 year-old looking girls actually laughed at me. Well, at least I wasn't wearing a top which had SELFIE written on it. The newsagent lady on the other hand said I was well co-ordinated. And I think it looks great in the photo. I might just have to hide it away again until I'm over 50 or I attend a wedding, perhaps the world is just not ready for this slice of Pard.
