Outfit to wear to a wedding?

6 replies

I'm going to a friend's wedding in a few weeks but have failed to get anything to wear and we're away for the next three weekends, so I won't get the chance to hit the shops again before the wedding.

I need to buy something on-line; was thinking skirt, top, jacket (so it's easier to get more wear from but would be happy to wear a dress as long as it's not too dressy as don't have any other "events" coming up). I'm 5' 10", autumn colouring, 12/14 (something to skim over my tum would be good). Have ugly knees so ideally something that came down to my knees. Max budget 150, preferably less!

Tried this pleated skirt in zara at the weekend but think the colour is a bit meh. What do you think? Does anyone have any other suggestions please??

I have no suggestions but am bumping for you in case anyone else fancies a shopping challenge :)

Aww thanks Trilions.

I've ordered some stuff on-line last night - any opinions would be welcomed:

This skirt & top

this chiffon pleat midi dress and this jacket (so I wouldn't be head to toe in white at a wedding...)

This botanical pencil dress

Also quite like this lace sleeved dress - but it's navy, with long lace sleeves. Is that a bit to sombre for a spring wedding? Might also be a bit short...

Hmm... Daisy skirt and top very nice. What would you wear on top - the pink jacket looks like it could work?

White dress is too white I think... you won't want to keep the jacket on all day.

Navy blue dress is lovely - I think it would be fine for a spring wedding with bright accessories.

Thanks Trillions

Yes, would probably wear the pink jacket with the daisy skirt/top.

Ah, hadn't thought of bright accessories with the navy dress, that's a great idea. I'm going to order the navy dress now... I'm going to have a lot of returns to do next week!

Yes, I like red accessories with navy - or hot pink, or teal? ooh, and I see the navy dress also comes in orange/red which is a bit more cheery looking :)

I really like the skirt and top.
