Roald Dahl's Tremendous Adventures at Tatton Park



Here are some photos from our recent trip to the Roald Dahl event at Tatton Park. We visited on Easter weekend and it wasn't busy at all so we got to walk around and enjoy everything properly. I wore a Roald Dahl tshirt which has pink glitter on, so I also wore a pink sequin hairbow and my pink sequin converse. We got a free chocolate bar each, designed invites for Fantastic Mr Fox, explored the story of Matilda in the Mansion and went on a Danny the Champion of the World trail. There was also a BFG scarecrow in the conservatory. I bought a cute Matilda keyring for my bag and we had to run to the car because it started raining.
This event is on until October 2016 and I definitely recommend it if you're a Roald Dahl fan.

Spring Outfits!

I bought a few new outfits in April so decided to share some of my outfits here. I never used to wear dresses or skirts, it's hard to feel comfortable wearing them because I am very uncomfortable with my body.
Wearing tights with them helps my confidence, and is also suited to the unpredictable British weather. During Summer, when it is warmer, I will try to brave these outfits without tights.
I don't spend a lot of money on clothes and I don't shop in obscure places. I don't even know what clothes look good together! I just wear what I feel like wearing. Whether that is a Disney t-shirt and coloured jeans or a dress and flower crown. If I chose my outfit and felt happy with it, that is good enough for me.
 I bought this dress specifically for Easter - Kirsty made an easter egg hunt for me, we baked cakes, and I thought it would be nice to dress up for the day.
  •  The dress is from Debenhams Blue Cross Sale. £19.20
  •  The black tights are from Tesco (100 denier) £4
  •  The trainers are grey Converse £30
  •  The necklace is from a store that closed down. We have a lot of tangled jewellery from there and Kirsty managed to untangle this one for me. Free
  •  The flower crown is from Leeds Festival a few years ago £4
  •  The nail varnish is Roll in the Grass - Rimmel London £2.99
  •  I'm also wearing a wooden star sign bracelet from the tangled jewellery Free
  •  and a Lego Friends watch £15 
             Total Outfit Cost =£45.19 (not inc. £30 shoes)

I am wearing make-up that Kirsty chose. The lipstick is by Jack Wills, and the (very light) eyeshadow is from Sleek's Vintage Romance Palette.

 This is my current favourite outfit. I bought the skirt and tights the day before and we were staying in a hotel so it was just by complete chance that I decided to put this outfit together and I loved it.
  • The Cinderella t-shirt is from Disney at George, Asda £7
  • The skirt is from Debenhams Blue Cross Sale £7.50
  • The grey tights are from Tesco (100 denier) £2
  • The trainers are grey Converse £30
  • The bag is from Accessorize and I use it to keep my camera, eyeliner, lip balm and mints in £14
  • The sunglasses are from Primark £1
  • The two keyrings on my bag are from Manchester Christmas Markets £7
               Total Outfit Cost = £38.50 (not inc. £30 shoes)

You can't see my face in these photos but I am wearing Smoky grey eyeliner by Rimmel. And Spun Sugar Shine Aurora lip balm from Claires.

 I've had this t-shirt for a few years but I bought the skirt a few days ago. I really like polka dot skirts and really like the way it looks with the t-shirt. The outfit was quite neutral so I decided to wear bright trainers with it to make it look more my style.
  • The t-shirt is from Junk Food at Truffle Shuffle £22
  • I'm wearing a vest from Primark under the T-shirt £2
  • The skirt is from Primark £4
  • The tights are from Tesco (100 denier) £4
  • The shoes are pink sequin Converse £45
  • I'm wearing a wooden star sign bracelet Free
              Total Outfit Cost = £32 (not inc. £45 shoes)

 I'm not wearing any make up here because I've lost my Sleek Au-Naturel palette and would have used light eyeshadow. We also were staying away from home and I wish I had remembered to take my pink lipstick to wear.
