A good excuse to shop

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a textiles trip with my school to The Knitting and Stitching Show, let me just say that the name does not do it justice! The trip was originally for year 11s however myself and a couple of friends went along to fill up the spaces and in my case, for a day off of school. As I went on a friday, there were a lot of schools there and loads of elderly people (to put it nicely) which was stereotypically expected.
The show was held at Alexandra Palace in London which is so pretty and not too far away, even though we didn't get to stay for long. For the first hour, we made sketches of some things made by the exhibitors in the gallery then for the afternoon we got to go shopping! The best way to describe it is 'a textiles version of the clothes show' as the shopping part was almost exactly the same.
I found the trip so enjoyable and there was so so so much to buy. I bought some cute christmas decorations for my mum and for myself, some buttons and a little compact mirror.

I'm really into pretty collars at the moment so i wore this pale blue blouse with black topshop jeans, chelsea boots, my black boyfriend coat and a tartan scarf! Sorry for the awfully taken photo, the lighting was bad and I am awful at photography.
