(Picture heavy post)
Last weekend I went away with my mum for a couple of days. We both needed some fun time away so decided to have a mother/daughter weekend filled with good things.

Last weekend I went away with my mum for a couple of days. We both needed some fun time away so decided to have a mother/daughter weekend filled with good things.
I always say that my mum and I could laugh and have a good time wherever we happen to be and that was certainly challenged when we arrived at our hotel to find that it was a country and western themed weekend. Both of versions of hell! Typical of us however we managed to have a laugh, whilst being completely mystified by the stony faces of the line dancers. I thought dancing was supposed to be fun!
Anyhow, we had some fun things planned, the first of which was a trip to the +The Blackpool Tower ballroom. Here was my outfit, planned with a little vintage edge. The dress is from Simplybe from last year and the shoes are from Joe Browns. The bag is a charity shop bargain from Barnardos.
Here are some pictures that I took at the Tower Ballroom, including the delicious afternoon tea for two which was exquisite. I highly recommend a visit, I paid £37.00 for two which included a table for two around the edge of the dance floor.

Now at this point my post goes slightly awry as I had some lovely photographs of my outfit later that night at Cats with some pictures of the amazing stage but unfortunately, my SD card decided to eat them. So I have recreated my outfit for you here.
My dress* is from the Scarlett and Jo collection at the House of Fraser and is currently on sale for an amazing £20.00. Although I usually size down for Scarlett & Jo dresses, I went for my usual size in this one as the dress is lined.
I love the ribbon tie detailing and the textured print of the prom dress. The length, although isn't shown on the website, I would guess at around 42 inches as it lands just below my knees and I am 5ft5.

I felt like a princess wearing this dress and recreating the outfit, I still do!
So that was my weekend, hope you enjoyed yours! x
