Yellow tights

On Sunday I mentioned that I was off to the Royal Albert Hall with my family for a night of celebratory music so this is a kinda of take 2 'dressing for the evening' version of my outfit from that post. I basically threw a jumper on a some coloured tights to keep warm. Because my tights were yellow everyone was joking that I looked jaundice hence the name of this post. Me being me I ripped the tights are soon as we left the house so now that are unwearable much to my disappointment because I kind of liked having yellow legs.

Jumper from ASOS
Top and skirt from Topshop
Wedges from Roxy
Necklace from Zara Taylor

I like how this jumper is cropped and thin knit, makes it perfect for wearing on summer evenings as it isn't too heavy. Plus letting the Peter Pan collar of my tunic underneath stick out is a nice addition of detail to an other wise plain top. Kind of doing the whole colour blocking thing here I suppose which I like because I'm a big fan of colour!

The music that evening was wonderful and we had incredible seats, our own semi private box to be exact. You would have recognised all the different songs and even though I was initially apprehensive about the whole evening, I'm glad I went because it was really fun. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra were completely amazing and the Royal Choral Society sounded beautiful plus the conductor Anthony Inglis was really funny

I love how decadent the Royal Albert Hall is. Everything is red and gold and the organ at the back of the stage is just enormous. The acoustic discs on the ceiling are really interesting to look at and because of the venue is dome shaped you get a great view of everything. Definitely a top family outing this time.

Do you go to events with your family often x

  6. I think the tights look really cool!! and I love how you've put the peter pan collar on top of the jumper!

    I don't really go to events with my family anymore, well obviously I'm in London and they're in France so that's why; but I used to have my mum forcing me to go to some concerts before :D

  8. Oh I really like those tights!

    I do all sorts with my parents (individually though, cos they're divorced). We share lots of common interests, plus they quite often treat me to things, which is always very welcome!

  10. The Albert Hall looks amazing. So beautiful.

    Fancy ripping your tights! That's something I would do.

    We still do quite a bit as a family. We try to do something once a month, it doesn't always come off but when it does we have great fun.

    Our main holidays are still spent as a family and at least one of the short breaks we have will see the extended family tagging along.

  12. Ooo, the yellow tights look pretty cool. Shame they ripped!

    The jumper looks so perfect, especially with the peter pan collar peeking out.

    Sounds like it was a lot of fun as well.

  13. Super brave and lovely outfit, Hannah! I don't think I'd have the guts for yellow tights. I had a hunch that the RAH experience would be fab.
