Science-Fashion

Last weekend I went to my first ever sci-fi event. Being held right behind my house, it was the perfect excuse to dip my toe in the pool of science fiction conventions. 


Sci-Fi By The Sea in Herne Bay is in its second year and has already gathered quite a following and grown significantly in size and quality since last years debut.




As a Doctor Who fan, I already had in mind exactly what I wanted to wear for my T.A.R.D.I.S. photo. (Because there had to be a tardis photo!)

My mini-geek joins me for a photo

The Look Magazine for Simply Be bardot dress is perfect! When I first saw it, I instantly thought it was a Doctor dress in a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey spacey sort of way. It's long enough that for the first time in years I felt comfortable showing off a bit of calf. It's a wonderful dress, true to size (if not a teeny big generous) and is forgiving in the boob area despite the non-stretch material. This is a quality dress I felt great wearing it.
Thanks to the anti-chaff shorts from the Big Bloomers Company and a weekend of bare legs, I think I'm finally happy to show off a little bit of leg!

The necklace I wore for the event was a custom order from Black Heart Creatives. I wanted a Doctor Who necklace but not something as obvious as a Dalek or a police box so I went with "Hello Sweetie" as River Song is my favourite female character of the new era Doctor Who. I absolutely love this necklace, it's my first piece from BHC and it definitely won't be my last!



Did I manage to pull off the geeky-but-not-too-much look? My neighbour had me sussed as a bit of a nerd from the day we met apparently. I didn't think it was obvious!

What would you wear to a SFX event (if you, like me, are into that sort of thing)?

Hanna over at The Wardrobe Challenge is currently running a fabulous giveaway for a lovely tshirt, so I thought I'd show you the outfit I would put together around the prize tee. (Click here to be taken straight to the giveaway.)



Top, Lane Bryant
Black PU studded biker jacket, Yours Clothing
Check leggings, Simply Be
Clarks Kankan Buzz Boots, Simply Be

I think the biker style is the perfect outfit for this top. It's edgy but comfortable. The perfect combination!

I promise I will start blogging more about my outfits and such like. I have actually been given £200 (as an early Christmas present) by my wonderful man to go out and get a few bits. £40 of that went straight on jeans though! Today however is all about doing my Halloween nails.
