Wedding. If you HATE wedding clothes are are fed up of going round and round the shops.

[oliveoil]

What the hell am I supposed to get?

First wedding on 22nd, then 29th.

Hate pastel anything and suits and girly shoes and silly small bags. Hats etc.

Can I get a yellow and black swishy number from Whistles and wear flat shoes?

Can't get pic of Whistles dress as their site is down (grr) but sounds fine to me.
Some v pretty flats about and no need for hat if good hairdo. Teeny bag uneccesary also, just don't use kitchen-sink laptop / work / nappy bag.

Can you wear same outfit for both or is it same posse?

Yes.

Have same dilemma.

The dress is in the sale but is still £89!

But at least I want it rather than buying under duress.

Am wearing same outfit to both.

Tsk.

They have some nice things in Coast but all strapless and would be worn once. I thinketh not.

Oh, do it, OO.

Bloody weddings.

olive, i was wedding-get-up shopping the other day. spent hours trying on dresses/pastel suits/sparkly sandals, etc

eventually, after much swearing and stomping, i got a gorgeous pair of black city shorts, on the knee, a black, dressy, lace shirt, very high yellow peep toes, yellow clutch bag and cool yellow long beads

Dingle is going to make me something cool and funky to put in my hair

i dont care a jot all the other girls are wearing strappy flowery dresses and lilac matching accessories

wear what you like girl

Well, it's really only £45 then

£89 and reduced? for two weddings?
bargain

get in there with my blessing

Defineatly who says weddings should be pastel suits and hats????

I love silly girly shoes, but would always wear something I like, not have to have. Don't mind hats though I have one or two that get rolled out in case, but prefer nice hairdo IYKWIM

I really resent paying a bomb for wedding clothes, therefore I don't !!!!

ooooh, bring it on girls, this is what I want to hear!

I think I would be very peeved if I went as a cake accesory and spent £££££ and saw someone dressed how I wanted to be dressed.

I am masquerading as a Roman emperor today (flat strappy sandals and a grecian type dress) and I feel so comfy.

link to whistles swishy no.?

FOund great dress in Monsson after much wedding outfit panicking.

Will try and find a pic but it is kind of a wrap dress, chiffony, slightly 1940s and with a subtle spotty pattern...

Perfect wedding outfit, great on the hips and the stomach and and also good for smart work things

£85 and will definitely wear a lot

this one bluejelly?

if so tis fab - saw lots of people wearing at the weekend and they all looked good in it, which is a mark of a v flattering thing.

Oh dear it's not on their online page

No Mrs B it's a bit different to that, sort of grey with darker grey spots
That one is nice though

this is nice and reduced too

That toast one is nice and the monsoon one.

I can't find my Whistles one anywhere online.

I once wemt to a wedding and a woman was dressed head to toe in bright yello with sewn on daffodils on her dress.

Least you won't look as bad as her.

[spray] at the Pastel Suit Brigade - all stepping out togther in their lilac sandals swinging their delicate bags.

(I am skulking at the back in my faithful black linen dress and a spectacular hat.)
