Going to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) or ‘The Ex’ is a tradition! Besides planning a fun let’s go to ‘the Ex’ outfit, it is a place to stuff your face. It is tradition to get Tiny Tom’s donuts, deep fried Oreos and my 99 cent spaghetti! Surprisingly even with a nut allergy, I am still able to fully enjoy the unhealthy food 🙂 Check out my allergy friendly food guide for recommendations.
The carnival is a fun backdrop for pictures; I really wish I would have gotten some better pictures given the location has so much craziness and energy in it. Oh well, there is always next year – it is an annual tradition. At least I felt cute in my outfit. I had a vision of myself eating pink cotton candy on a stick in front of a ferris wheel. I searched for this, but they only had it in bag form.
The cream skirt is from Express and I’ve styled it a few other ways here and here. It is perfect because it poufs out so you can eat in it! The fabric has texture too, which makes it more special. The pink shirt has fun sleeves, that channel a circus clown, in the best way. I paired it with gladiator sandals and a handmade gold and pink necklace, available on Etsy.
