Tis a truth universally acknowledged



That a teacher in possession of a good costume, must be in want of an occasion to wear it!

Jane Austen

For comic relief, our school dressed as heroes and people they look up to!  I was at a stumbling block until a chance comment from a year 6 child.
"Miss, can be dress up as an author I admire?"

Child was left unanswered as I suddenly thought of my Elizabeth Bennett/Catherine Morland costumes!
I decided it could also be Jane Austen who I admire!

I wore my Elizabeth dress as opposed to my Catherine dress and substituted my usual white ballet pumps for brown ankle boots. The effect was apparently obvious as my deputy head said I looked like Elizabeth Bennett when her pettticoat is "6 inches coated in mud!"

We had lots of fun at school!
Tonight I am off swing dancing with about 15-16 friends to celebrate my birthday!
Enjoy your weekend!xxx
