Claire is wearing a burgundy suede jacket with tassels [charity shop], fitted hot pink dress [Leeds Vintage Kilo Sale], wide ox-blood leather belt [charity shop], black and white Doc Socks [Dr Martens shop] and tomato red Dr Martens [Dr Martens shop].
Covadonga is wearing a bright pink bandanna [Leeds Kirkgate Market].
Today has been perfect weather conditions for my suede jacket: cold and dry. I've gone for a punchy autumnal colour palette now we're officially in autumn, not that we had much summer to change from. My main point today is that red does go with pink (my Mum said it didn't) and you don't have to wear colour with black. Bright colours are friends with other bright colours; you just have to make sure this friend mixer is chaperoned by you the wearer, don't let the colours run riot and loose yourself!
This dress is a magnificent shade of pink, too hot for even Barbie. It has a unusual neckline which come down in a narrow rectangle before going into a v, like a wide key-hole. It also has splits on the side, which go higher than I had previously anticipated, especially when I sit down. Still, it has a kind of embossed flower pattern on it and it's just the most fantastic colour! I love patterns, but there's a lot to be said for vibrant block colours!
Finally, the wearing-in continues, but minimal blisters. But many socks.
