Miss Millie's Leaver's Ball took place last night, and I had a tear in my eye when my shy little girl turned into a beautiful, sophisticated young lady before my very eyes ...
Millie had said she wanted something different for her prom dress, and I was rather daunted by this, as I really don't like shopping, especially when I don't really know what I'm looking for. However, I did a Vintage Fair in my hometown on Easter Saturday, and as there were lots of racks of dresses, I rang Millie to come over and have a look, as you just never know ...
Among the rails, Millie found a beautiful, apple green, full length dress. I was dubious at first, but she tried it on and it fit like a glove ... a real Cinderella moment! We bought it, along with a vintage pink and green necklace, and I was so happy that I'd been spared the trauma of numerous fittings in plush prom shops ...

A friend arranged the transport ... an amazing, vintage e-type Jaguar arrived to collect Millie, so she really turned up in style!
This is my favourite photograph, and I fiddled about with the filters, but much prefer it in black and white ...
When we arrived (me following on behind in my battered Micra), Millie met her friends, who all looked amazing too ...
I stayed until they went into dinner,
I haven't downloaded the pictures from my camera yet, these are from my Instagram feed so they are a bit blurry and grainy so I may bore you with more ....
Have a wonderful weekend, and hope that the sun shines on you all this weekend!
Love Claire xxx (still on a high)
