What's the next occasion in your life and what are you wearing?

Hi all,
I'll start:
The next occasion is my (much younger) brother and cousin's first communion, and I am wearing: a blush pink top from Primark, a navy cardigan from Primark, a blush pink scarf with gold stars from Dorothy Perkins, long navy leggings that look like skinny trousers from a shop on EBay, a blush pink clutch on a chain strap (probably as not bought yet) from New Look, and navy chelsea boots (not looked yet, so can't say where from).
Also, I am posting this to keep me busy on this boring Sunday, hope it keeps you busy too!

@KTD27, what does it look like? I love the concept and style jumpsuits but I can never find one that I think "I must buy that urgently".

Also, I've bought a packet of these false nails, and will probably buy more appendages if I see them.

A wedding in the summer. I am a bridesmaid and I am wearing a primrose yellow dress.

I've got a 40th birthday party next month, great nephews first communion and my nephews wedding in May.
Don't have a clue what I'm wearing. I've got a wardrobe full of clothes, but know I'll end up buying something.

2 kids and in laws and grandchildren coming next week early Mother’s Day.
Navy trousers grey top. Navy cardigan thingy if it’s cold.

My sister's funeral. No idea. Possibly black spotty satin skirt and fitted black top.

My boyfriends citizenship ceremony, I wore sweat shorts and a hoody to mine, I’m not sure I’ll get away with that this time.

Asmuchuseas · 08/03/2020 18:01

Job interview tomorrow. Planning on black trousers, plain top and a blazer

HarrySnotter · 08/03/2020 18:03

DH'S 50th - no idea but I aim to be a stone lighter and wear something fabulous!

Izzabellasasperella · 08/03/2020 18:16

A 40th birthday party in a club in 2 weeks, I'm wearing this. Bought from Ebay. I'm looking for knee high boots to wear with it.

@Asmuchuseas good luck!
@HarrySnotter the more glitter the better!
@Izzabellasasperella that's gorgeous!
@SimonJT, may I ask where you're from? I'm just interested. What about jeans and a nice tshirt if you want to be casual?

My best friend gets married in 3 weeks!!

I'm wearing a maroon maxi dress from Yours with a wrap over front, and new black converse (I'm disabled and they're the only shoes I can walk in, hence the maxi dress! I shouldn't need a coat as it's all in one place. I'm getting my hair dyed professionally rather than using a box dye (for once!) and my dd2 is doing my make up (she's a student beautician and is also doing my friend the brides makeup!).

I'm very excited!

Sisters wedding. Cobalt blue dress, lace from Hobbs. Sparkly flat sandals. Was going to be dune, but saw similar ones in asda today!

SimonJT · 08/03/2020 18:35

I’m from Pakistan, but I haven’t lived there since I was 8, despite that there were many hoops to jump through to be able to stay here. My boyfriend is from Sweden, don’t particularly trust the government, so we’re not willing to rely on promises and end up like Windrush.

@weegiemum, that's lovely, I hope you have a lovely time. I have chronic pain and mobility issues, so that's why I've got Chelsea boots.
@CottonSock, it sounds lovely.
@SimonJT, that Windrush crisis was ridiculous, I felt so sorry for the people affected. I hope his day goes well.

I'm 50 in April and I've just bought the Hush Kensington dress, I went to John Lewis to look at it a while ago and then ordered it online today. Not sure what I'll wear with it yet.

CormoranStrike · 08/03/2020 19:19

I have a wedding in May; at the moment I may need to invest in a tent.

dementedma · 08/03/2020 19:22

Black tie awards dinner at end of month. Wearing full length black dress with sparkly beaded star bursts and matching short jacket. Silver sandals
