Wedding next weekend. Family do so not massively over posh But more than jeans posh.

I am completely clueless And about to take DD2 to try to find something. Which means I'll get about 10 minutes in debenhams and 5 in new look and maybe m & s if I'm lucky.

Oh. And I'm very large and don't wear heels or skirts.

Wide-legged trousers in a plain colour with a stunning tunic top & one of these statement necklaces that are so popular?
Pashmina or stole.

I do have monday off so if D2 can't bring herself to look for more than 5 minutes (she struggles with shops) i can try again in peace then.

Jumpsuit? could put a blazer over.

AtYourCervix · 01/03/2014 10:02

Hmmmm.

Nice shape. How does one wee in a jumpsuit?

Quite liking the trouser shape. Will try to find some to try on.

tethersend · 01/03/2014 10:28

If you'd consider a dress, this or this is nice.

tethersend · 01/03/2014 10:28

I have no idea about wee/jumpsuit combo. Sorry

AtYourCervix · 01/03/2014 12:02

Oh dear. It's not going well.

Can i wear jeans?

OP posts:

AtYourCervix · 01/03/2014 12:05

Ooh. She's found an acceptable pair of jeans. Phew and hurrah!

OP posts:

tethersend · 01/03/2014 13:01

Oh. Are you really wearing jeans to the wedding?

If you're certain they will be ok with it... Well done

AtYourCervix · 01/03/2014 14:25

I'm not. D2 is though. She only wears black jeans.

tethersend · 01/03/2014 17:04

You may upstage the bride a little...

Stop being so negative, go to Evans & ask for advice?
