Going to a friends wedding tomorrow and have suddenly had a panic about my outfit! We don't get the chance to go out often so really wanted to make the most of it and show OH that i can still look quite attractive when i get the chance to make a bit of effort!!!
Anyway i couldn't afford a new dress so am planning to go in a maxi dress i bought next year but suddenly panicing i'm going to look like a drag queen or something (nothing wrong with drag queens just not the look i was hoping for!). This is the same dress but mine has red flowers as well as blue...www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maxi-dress-/260833791759?pt=UK_Women_s_Dresses&hash=item3cbae7cf0f.
I am useless at styling myself but i have the following options to choose from to try and look less ridiculous. Bright red lipstick and nails to match the flowers (too much?), a large blue flower for my hair(again too much?), a black pashmina, flat black strappy shoes, dangly blue earrings (not sure how much jewellery i should go for).
I have time for an emergency dash into town in the morning but not many shops to choose from.
I am 28, a size 14 with a larger tummy than i'd like and 5ft8 if those things make a difference and i have long dark wayward hair. I do have spanks to help with the figure.
Please help or tell me to ditch the dress and find something else if that would be more appropriate! I'm truly useless at this stuff. God help me when i have to buy a new work wardrobe when i go back to work!!
Thanks!
