We have a wedding to go to in 2 weeks, and I have a lovely dress for it. But don't want to wear a coat. I bought the stole and have borrowed an antique brooch from mil, overall, I really like the look. Dh does not. But he lives in shorts and should therefore be ignored, right?

I love the stole! has your DH ever seen a rat? That would be one fat (and atypically handsome) rat!

As long is it's not real fur, I'd wear it. You can make an entrance in it/put it on if you're cold, and take it off at other times. If I saw you at a wedding in this I would be complimenting you.

thank you. it is just for car/church/travel to reception. which is in a very smart hotel.

I love the outfit. I think you have the perfect figure for it.
The stole is very on trend for this season

I agree with your DH. Furs are awful, even fake ones.

ah, it does like opinion is fairly evenly split.

i cant see it fgs

here?

I like it, and as it's for just a short time, I won't bother going shopping for anything else.
You look very nice indeed.

Love it, your DH clearly has no idea!

phew, I hate buying accessories.

i like you look teent tiny

thanks, I think Im just going to wear it with aplomb. killer heels, sheer stockings and smokey eyes. I am teeny, Im 5'2" but with a very narrow frame, so I look even smaller. in fact, I often buy childrens clothes. Im small boned.

snice

I like it too. Men have no taste.

I like stoles, but they dont give ANY warmth at all so its not a coat substitute!

Ive told him that any bloke who wears a lilac and purple check ben sherman shirt for a first date can be ignored when it comes to clothes and my uber-glam lil sis likes it!

grumple, Im just hoping it'll cover my shoulders in church and take the edge off.

QED

I like. Where did you get it (need a stole for upcoming 1940s party)

Careful with aplomb, though Lissie my love. My aplomb often leaks

I finally got rid of it when we moved out. the bloody thing was indestructible!

good job he made me laugh, or I'd never have put out.

funny, it was from new look. only £8.99. bargain!

pinot, I shall be wearing tena lady and big pants to hold in my cs overhang

Ahhhh yes cement pants. I can't imagine attending a posh do without feeling my blood is congealing beneath the elastic. Good times :) Seriously, lissie, you'll rock it. Smokey eye, nude lips and a big smile. Love.

thanks, bit worried because Ive lost so much weight thanks to my teeth/being ill. so now i look pretty gaunt. but I am buying some new makeup and have just dyed my hair. getting it cut a couple of days before, so hopefully I will be able to hold my head high.

LOVE it. You must wear it; don't be swayed by the cardigan wearing naysayers
