Apparently, we've just officially moved into Autumn. It certainly shows in how the weather has been recently! For once, I'm actually sort of looking forward to Autumn and Winter as I have grand plans for outfits for the colder weather, as well as plenty of ideas for things to do in the coming months.

Before the weather dropped a bit colder, I just managed to get in a few more days wear out of a couple of more summery outfits. My new favourite item is this new-to-me gold fringed top, a hand-me-down from my mum:

I finally got hold of the photos my mum took of me while we were at Crich. Unfortunately, some of them were... less than flattering... so I've picked three of the best.

I also had my photo taken by several photographers, two of which gave me their card so that I can see the photos. They aren't available yet, but I will keep checking back on the photographers' websites until  they are.

I took so many photos at Crich that it's been really hard to choose my favourites to show.

My absolute favourite that I took is this one of a couple of soldiers:

The 1940s weekend at Crich was amazing! I went for the Saturday with my mum and had a whale of a time. It's the first event of this sort that I've been to, but it definitely won't be the last!

My uniform looked really good, although it was less than authentic compared to a lot that I saw. I still think it gave the idea though, which is the main thing.

We were issued with identity cards and ration books on entry, which we then had to keep with us in case we were asked to prove we weren't enemy spies.

I made a second attempt at the victory rolls/snood combination today.

My "gas mask" for the 1940s event at Crich is finished. I wrapped a box in brown paper (apparently this is something people quite often did, as well as making other kinds of covers for the boxes), copied a label I found on Google and stuck it on the top, then attached the string to the sides.
