If you are looking for variety, cheap and fast check out Dorothy Perkins using a code I found on another thread I just ordered some clothes to be delivered tomorrow.

The code for the express shippng is below:

To get the free shipping as well as the 25% off, select nominated day delivery, it will show £5 delivery charge. Then enter DPCHOSEN12

you can also find code for 25% off.

How about pencil skirt, top and blazer. You could take blazer off for evening do?

It is quite nice but again there would be the tum problem. It would look like I had giftwrapped my (non-existent) pregnancy

Boden in navy, also in petite size. Throw cardi or blazer (I know, I know...) on during the day and take off in the evening. It is not that hard Wink

I know you need the dress first, but would kitten heels be ok for shoes?

Fritzi I love those LK Bennett shoes.
Is this a bit mental? Not sure what it will do for the tum department but I quite like it banana republic stripey

I quite like the stripes but I would feel the need to roam the savannah
