Lytham Proms

It has been many moons since i was last in Blackpool, but what i've always loved is the shopping, i've never enjoyed theme parks / fairground rides / the sea. but i do love shops.

My last outstanding memory of my last trip to Blackpool, was the birthday girl going into primark the morning after the night before and buying slipper socks as her feet were so sore and walking round all day in them!

This time we were in Blackpool for something far more serious than a 30th or a Hen do, it involved no fancy dress costumes and hardly any alcohol!  Doesn't sound like my normal idea of fun but it was.

It was Lytham Proms, La Mama and me had seen an offer for Olly Murrs tickets and Hotel for £60 each in Going places window a while back and on a whim we booked, she discovered there was an 80's here and now concert on the friday so we decided to make a long weekend of it. 

My life was greatly enhanced when i discovered Rick Astley was going to be on! 

Oh how i do love our Rick, i know he might not be everyone's cup of tea and totally not my normal taste but i've loved him since i was 6 years old and i announced he was my biggest fan! 

Pat Sharp, gets the party started

 Supercool Keyboard dude

 Toyah

 Carol Decker

 Ben From Curiosity Killed the Cat - he was tres pants!

Really want to go and see him again, need to see if i can get some tickets when i've been paid

Do you have an 60/70/80/90's crush you still adore (please delete as applicatble) 

Blackpool Shopping

Dotty P's had a sale on, not sure it its still on as my local store closed months ago.

we went to the concession in BHS and i got £56 worth for £6! can i get a woo woo, items reduced to £1 or £2 then buy one get one free, the girl had to put them through in 3 transactions as they were playing silly beggers

i also got this very bright bag £5 instead of £30 from Accessories

 You weren't allowed to take food in to the hotel but we snook 2 wispas in shhh

 magazines and paper to keep us entertained

 i also bought a frock from DP £10 size 18, could have done with a 20 at least but as in sale this would be ok, i need to downsize the belly

Blackpool OOTDs

Evening Folks, after a slight blogging drought this week, expect my mini Evans rant  i've been going to bed at 9pm. I thought i'd take some time to do a bit of a catch up of my weekend away to Blackpool. I'm going to split it up over a few posts starting with what I wore.

I've tried to include Size and prices as i've noticed a few people doing this and love the idea. 

I've seen a few tweets recently about copy and paste blogs, i hope people don't think that i'm doing that. blogging is such and individual thing but they inspire others. 

I've got another OOTD post but i'm not sure if i'm going to share it as i realised after i wore this outfit it was a 90% rip off of the inspiration i got it from without intending it to be, i shall explain. I love wearing dresses for work but some are a little low cut but as are technically sundresses they don't look right with a t-shirt underneath. i then remembered seeing a post where someone had done the opposite and made it look like a skirt and top. 

I did this with a Sundress from M&S and a Navy lacy top from DP, only half way through the day did i realise the dress was the same one as the one that had inspired me. i had a totally different top. 

Just being silly really. maybe one day i will share what i wore. 

The next few outfits are Blackpool from Friday arriving to Sunday night.
