Help, going to a wedding in less than two weeks and need something to wear!!

9 replies

WhispersOfWickedness · 06/10/2013 14:20

I have an outfit that I have worn to several weddings, but they have been summer weddings, and I am getting bored of this particular outfit anyway. I've had a little look round, but there are a lot of dark colours around as it is gearing up for winter, but dark is not very weddingy Sad
I only have a budget of up to £30 and can't afford to get new shoes as well, so the new outfit would have to go with either black satiny ballet pumps or knee high black boots Grin
I am not overly fashionable, I think I prefer more classic styles. I am quite slim, smallish boobs, slim waist and slightly bigger hips. I'm a size 8-10 on top, 10-12 on bottom, depending on style/brand.

Please help!

How about this dress with your black pumps and a [[http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Alexon+Black+Organza+Embroided+Bolero/178457109,default,pd.html bolero?

bolero

tethersend · 06/10/2013 14:48

Or this with black boots and gold jewellery/clutch?

WhispersOfWickedness · 06/10/2013 19:47

Ooo, replies, thank you so much Tethers Grin

Hmm, I knew I should have given more details about my tastes in the OP Blush

I love the pattern of the first dress, but not so much the style, I'm not so keen on dresses/skirts that go in towards the knees. The style of the second dress is nicer, but the pattern is a bit busy, also I'm not a gold person.
The colours I love are teal, turquoise, blues, greens, plum, purples, some reds. I have a lot of silver coloured jewellery, nothing gold. I'm not so keen on the other side of the colour wheel, so yellow, orange, yellowy green.
Sorry, I didn't realise I was so fussy until I started thinking about it Blush
The bolero is lovely though Grin

Wow, thank you both so much!

I love both the black lace one linked by twinkle and the purple beaded one linked by Laska, but just feel like they are a bit too dark for a wedding (it is someone I like very much, so don't want her to think I'm mourning :o )

I like the purple ruched dress, so I will probably go for that one, thank you very much to everyone for having a look for me :o
