please help stop my arms freezing!

[squirreldumpling]

I am going to be a bridesmaid this autumn and will be wearing this this dress. I think I will need a cardigan or similar otherwise I am going to freeze. The wedding is rural rather than in the city, so dressy but not really smart and bride has no specifications although I think she would prefer it if I didn't wear black. I would prefer it if it was something I could wear again this autumn/ winter and not too expensive. Any thoughts? I was thinking about a dark purple fitted cardigan? My knowledge of what's in the shops is useless.
(insert in the middle of mat leave and totally out of touch emoticon)

this navy jacket would look great, and would be very wearable for A/W.

If you did want a dark purple cardi, here is one, which also comes in navy.

I like the cardi, not the jacket.

ooh thank you Plum. I think I will have a trip into town to try these on. And thank you, Mary- I am rubbish at decision making so your input is v handy!

I would really look into cashmere piece. YOu won't be hot or cold and you will get a lot of wear out of it. Look at boden (there should be 20% code around), pure (def. 25% off, I just got catalogue today), even M&S and John Lewis
