So anyone who dislikes playing dress-up, look away now .

I have sister-in-law's Wedding in a few weeks time, and am in outfit conundrum but I have hit on the perfect plan and need help to execute it!

I was planning to do Pretty Dress, Navy Blazer, Little pair of heels (all covering an armoury of control undergarments - being 14 weeks post-birth!). But then I thought how much I didn't want to look like every other (slimmer, no varicosed veined) girl there.

What I want, is to wear a pair of really slim black trousers which finish kind of above the ankle, a pair of ballet flats, and a pretty peter-pan collar blouse. Kind of channelling a sort of Jean Seberg or Audrey Hepburn sorta look. I'm about a 12-14 now. I've checked out the 'net but I think the trousers are really eluding me. They have to be just so. Any ideas? please help me to indulge Cool French Woman fantasy .

I've just put my woolly socks on too!

Which shoes did you order?

I haven't yet. Have a big old shopping mall (bloody hell how excited?) trip planned for next Wednesday (usually my only trips are Mothercare and the supermarket) so will pick something then. I did buy some fallback shoes today though super cheaply, some deep red ballet pumps from New Look so if all else fails....

Am going to inspect the blazers this evening. I can't wait for the goods I got last night to arrive!

The weather is doing my head in now style-wise.
