Speaking not-entirely-hypothetically, the Hat (with a definite capital H) that I bought for myself ten years ago and justified on the basis that I would wear it to lots of weddings but last wore... umm... ten years ago. And something that goes with it (blue wrap dress with long sleeves, probably. I'll try to find a smart coat to go with them.

the one i'm going to is in northamptonshire.
wheres yours spugs?
nice choices
i was tempted to get the warehouse dress last time i went shopping but i say it as more of a day time dress with thick tights and boots.
very nice though.
i like the other one too.

beanieb i like the 1st one alot but the other 2 links are not working just goes t the homepage.

Mine's in Oxfordshire. Pistachio, if you have a smart coat to wear over the top and thermal undies and a nice woolly hat then that should be fine.

Pistachio - gorgeous children!!

Nice outfit too btw

Thinking about it I've been to three April weddings:

  1. Easter Saturday - wore purple trouser suit over sleeveless top. Chucked it down with rain and was FREEZING so very glad to have the jacket.

  2. Late April - sunny but cool - black trousers and jacket (so shoot me) over long sleeved top.

  3. Early April long skirt and long sleeved top. Weather -dry but freezing cool.

    My aunt is getting married in May - think I might recycle the above mentioned skirt or a wrap dress from last years wedding attendance.

April in Aberdeen last year was fantastically sunny. I was off on maternity leave, which was spent mostly sitting in the garden and gave me a brilliant t-shirt tan in time for going into labour.
