Women of S&B, can anyone help?
I have two functions to attend. One a lovely afternoon party celebration (think Cambridge types, tent on the lawn, very nice but confident well dressed posh and beautiful people). The other a black-tie indoor evening do (quite posh, but probably can get away without floor length bling). Both events in June.
Is one outfit do-able for both, and can someone advise?
Me: 5'5, size 10-12ish, small of chest, blonde, late 40s.
Would prefer very low or no heel, closed toe (not sandals) for shoes.
Not keen on prints for outfit. Would like to look classy. Prefer natural fabrics. And, this is tricky, would really, really prefer three-quarter or full-length sleeves. This is because of scaring on upper arm/elbow. I know I could wear a jacket/cover up some other way (willing to consider) but would love a classy dress (or other outfit) with sleeves.
Budget - up to £200 to include outfit/shoes. Not worried about bags etc.
Is there any hope?
