Well hello to you my reader chums! It's not every day you live your childhood dreams and finally attend a ballet at the Royal Opera House. I went for my birthday this year and I honestly couldn't contain my excitement. I've been dreaming of this day since I was 10 years old and used to collect ballet magazines which always featured the Royal Opera House and all the ballet content you could think of.
The day finally and I honestly couldn't wait! As it was such a once in a lifetime experience, I wanted to dress up really formal and fancy, and it was so much fun, I decided to rock my inner ballerina.
I wanted to purchase a dress that looked like a tutu but wasn't exactly a tutu so had a browse on Asos and came across this gorgeous lilac gown with lace detailing on the top and tutu-like fabric falling all the way down to the floor.
As soon as I put it on, I felt like a princess ballerina and didn't want to take it off. Stepping into the Royal Opera House really heightened my excitement and I felt like royalty parading around in my dress. The outfit just brought everything together that I couldn't help share it with you guys.
I originally wanted to pair the dress with a pair of nude heels, however, when I got to London I realised the strap had fallen off on them and had to opt for my black heels instead.
Dress: Asos
Shoes: New Look (they are a few years old so I can't link them)
Bag: New Look
The show was honestly once in a lifetime! As I stepped into the main theatre, I couldn't believe my eyes at how beautiful it all was and I felt as if I was in a movie. Then when the ballet began, the whole time I was in awe of the ballet dancers' talent and the stunning production which took place. Swan Lake is a wonderful ballet and the Boshi Ballet company brought all my dreams to life, and I wish I could relive my night at the Royal Opera House over and over again.
I hope you enjoyed this fashion post. Have you been to the Royal Opera House before?
