WIBU to wear this

16 replies

Hi, posted on fashion and beauty but thought there would be more traffic here. I don't do dressy very often and live in trousers normally, I broke an ankle a few years ago and that ankle looks swollen so I am self conscious in dresses. So I wondered about wearing trousers to a Christening. I was thinking something like this top www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_028030131543_-1

Wearing it with navy or stone trousers and nice sandals. So WIBU to wear trousers to a Christening?

I think it's lovely, perfect alternative to a dress for a christening Smile

Whywould it be unreasonable? I wear trousers to almost every occasion and feel uncomfortable if I don't.

cardibach I guess I'm old and stuck in my ways and think I "should" wear a dress or a suit but I really like the look of this and think it could look lovely, although I am shorter than the model and a size bigger.

PossibiliTea thank you, it is nice isn't it. I think I'm going to go for it.

Thanks

Thank you all, you've made my day, I was feeling down about buying another dress that would be worn once and then left in the wardrobe. So glad I posted.

I wore trousers and a top from Debenhams to my dd's christening. I don't do dresses Sad You'll look great in that top btw.

Smile have a brilliant time you will look great

Gorgeous blouse, op! Glad you ordered it. You'll look great. I think I'd go with lighter coloured trousers for a more summery look (not that the weather is summery at the moment! ) Have a great time.

It's a nice top and there's nothing wrong with wearing trousers but I think it's a bit dark for a christening, especially so with dark trousers.
