On Sunday we went for a family meal out to Broom Hall as an early Christmas present from my Nan. As she doesn't get out much she wanted to kill two birds with one stone; treating us all and having a lovely get together as well. I always like to make the effort to dress up and feel tidy but am always mindful of wearing something loose when I'm eating out!

This dress pretty much never gets worn and if I'm honest I've fallen out of love with it but only give it wardrobe space as I bought it new and feel like I really ought to get some value out of it. I cracked open a new box of tights which are a rather pleasing shade of bottle green and seem to go nicely with the dress as well as the dark blue jacket.

Dress – Asos, jacket – gift, tights – T K Maxx, shoes – eBay, necklace – New Look

I couldn’t resist a precarious totter across the lawn to this pagoda for some photographs although I was expecting to be bawled at to get off the grass but I guess they either didn't see me or didn't mind. Winner!
