Husband says I will look like Prince

[squiz81]

I've bought a purple cowl neck dress for a wedding mid-September. I'm worried I will be chilly & wanted a shrug / wrap type thing. Was about to buy a gold shrug and my husband says I will look like Prince.

Gold and purple works doesn't it?! I don't want to spend lots and am struggling to find anything.

I bought one of those shrug things from Amazon once - the cheapness was irresistible. Anyway, they're really scratchy and cheap and nasty - don't buy it. But embrace your inner Prince regardless.

Just don't expect a loving Kiss from your DH at the end of the evening.

I am laughing my head off at looking like Prince.
I wouldn't have made the connection myself, but seeing as he has, I am inclined to agree. The colour scheme is Prince all over.

If only you'd said that your hubby said

Colour you peach and black, colour me taken aback...crucial....

But still, best title ever. Long may your gold and purple reign....

Oooh I see what you did there! Very good.

Have you considered accessorising with something in 'Cream'?

Well, nothing will compare 2 u
(Getting tenuous now)

There are worse people to look like - Prince is very pretty.

He didn't mean Prince Philip, did he?

You could top it with a raspberry beret, and some diamonds and pearls...you'll look like a proper sexy MF

I'm so sorry

Stealth, was that an autocorrect fail?

Always have to ask...it's a Sign O' The Times.

How about something like this?

Subtle and weddingy.

This would be splendid! I would actually LOVE to have someone at my wedding who was dressed like Prince.

Best title ever giggling away

Don't think so, which bit?

Hope your DH doesn't try to go in through the out door when he sees you

This is a great thread.

I think you should wear it and drop as many Prince song titles into the champagne and canapés chitchat as possible .

who was it who said that Prince looked like he'd been dipped in a bucket of pubic hair?
as long as that isn't your problem, i'd say you'll be fine.
great thread title BTW. made me laugh.

If you outshine the bride in your purple attire there'll be some Controversy...

Thanks OP you've made me laugh

OP, is this you?

'Nothing compares 2 u' in purple and gold, go for it

Stealth, I thought it might have been tedious which would have caused Controversy but darn it, someone got that already.

Maybe my skills at this will get Better In Time...

Sorry I meant. Better With Time. But U Know....

This is the funniest thread ever,I am sure you will have a great time at the wedding, I wish you could take me with u.

hassled thanks for the tip off about the shrug. I did have my suspicions about a £5 piece of knitwear. I'm just being a bit tight about it all. I don't even particularly like shrugs, I just want it to be fitted.

pictish I do already own something like that, I just find pashminas a bit of a faff!

Maybe I will just channel my inner Prince. As long as the band don't ask to me to make a guest appearance in their set.

The eBay/Amazon shrugs are shit.
I would consider Debenhams/BHS/monsoon

or a lovely shawl/pashmina from Accessorize.
