ok - the challenge - I have been invited to an old college friend's 50th birthday party. he is a hugely successful hedge fund manager - there are party organisers - so whilst I've no idea what the party is costing I think it's fair to assume it will be a lot. And I think the party guests are likely to be a wealthy bunch. I realise that this is very shallow of me but I think that I've also been reasonably successful (if not at the same financial level as my friend) and I want to show off too.
So, I need a new dress. I think the women there are likely to be a mix of old friends and trophy wives. I don't want to be frumpy but nor do I want to risk the mutton dressed as lamb look - so what do I wear?
I am 5 foot 4, size 8, fair skin and highlighted light brown hair. I am not particularly constrained by budget - but don't know where to start looking.
any suggestions? I'm in London so can get to a reasonable range of shops.
Thanks in advance for the help.
