Cardigan: New Look
Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Primark
It's the last day of my Union Jack Challenge. I have enjoyed it and I've surprised myself by actually completing it. I've learned a lot from it, particularly how to mix and match pieces so that I don't repeat the same outfit and I've got into the habit of taking a photo everyday. That said, I am relieved it's over. I was beginning to run out of options!
It's odd to see me in glasses again after a month. It's even stranger experiencing restricted vision after a whole month of it being perfect. I thought I'd give my eyes a bit of a rest seeing as they've only been contact-free for a total of 12 hours in the past 2 months!

I love this dress. I bought it in Brighton over Easter. With its midi length, you might well think it is a pretty safe choice for a breezy day. I thought so too. It turns out I was wrong. This is the blowiest dress I have ever owned. A lot of people have seen my pants today!
However, it is a lot of fun to swirl around in as you can see:
Also, because of the Hawaiian print, it is the perfect accompaniment to my ukulele.
Yes, I'm hugging my ukulele. I blooming love that thing!
I popped down to the charity shops today. It was largely fruitless but still a lot of fun to rummage around.
Rich ended up buying this guitar. It used to belong to Matthew Baigent in 4R, according to the name label on the back.
Look at all these amazing vintage Ladybird books!

Was anyone else as obsessed with Goosebumps books as I was in the mid 90s?
I ended up buying two things. A pale blue 60s jumper that I will wear tomorrow to show you and this awesome 1974 Ladybird book:
I absolutely love dinosaurs and the T-Rex is my favourite.
This is my second vintage Ladybird book. I also have a 1960s London one. I think I'll get a box frame for them to decorate the living room.
