A Trip to Torquay

A couple of weeks ago we made a little trip down to Torquay. James' work holds a 'dinner dance' every year which I posted about here in 2013. On the way down we visited The Fish Shed in Topsham for some top notch fish and chips. It was pretty good but I think it would have tasted that bit nicer had it been the middle of July and we could have sat out on the terrace.

When we arrived in Torquay my wishing for a sea view room had apparently worked and we had a balcony/terrace type thing so it seemed the right thing to do to take some outfit snaps. 

Well just look at that view!

The evening wasn't really anything to write home about unfortunately. I was still getting over a cold and really couldn't get in the drinking spirit, so after trying to find a decent light to take a picture of my new River Island dress we gave in and went to bed. We did, however, win a box of Green and Blacks chocolate in the raffle, so all was not lost.

Boohoo #DRESSMAS

In classic Hannah fashion, I spotted the Boohoo #DRESSMAS competition when it was first announced and I thought, why yes, I would like to enter this competition. I also thought it'd be good to actually get an OOTN here on the blog too as I haven't before.

So of course, I don't get my outfit snaps done on any of those weekends where the sun has been shining, instead I wait until the last day of the competition when the rain and wind has turned up in full force. Needless to say, taking these pictures was quite a sorry experience and I felt quite the prat dressed up to the nines at 11am on a Sunday.

So anyway, this is my #DRESSMAS entry. This outfit is what I've got earmarked for my Christmas party. It's not a look I'd usually go for, simply because bodycon is really quite unforgiving but it's Christmas and I'll be wearing it, food baby or not.
