Get thee to Style and Beauty.

What's your top budget?

Do you want full or knee length?

Sleeves?

CherryMonster · 24/11/2011 19:31

no idea on budget, but dont want to spend a fortune. also no idea on length or sleeves. i am 30 so nothing really old fashioned or kiddie styled, petrol green suits me, as do most colours thankfully. (except yellow or orange)

I just love this - so simply elegant www.monsoon.co.uk/betty-dress/invt/95322303/

You could wear shoes that suit you or are comfortable and add necklace etc to make the outfit totally special - I think this would be a statement investment buy
