Dear wise ones. I am going to a wedding in a couple of weeks time. I am taking my bottle-refusing baby and need something to wear I can breastfeed in. I was looking at dresses but am hoping to lose a bit more weight so don't really want to buy anything that hopefully won't fit me soon. Also my maternity pay runs out this month so am feeling quite tight!
I have a skirt very similar to this www.reiss.com/p/panelled-aline-skirt-womens-brio-in-light-navyblack/?category_id=1127&_=1445325898261
(If this link doesn't work will try again in next post, have never tried a link before) but in cobalt blue and a slightly lighter silk so a bit puffier. I'd love to wear it as it hides my big fat tummy and shows my legs which are the only part of me that still looks reasonable. But I am dreadful at fashion and also don't know how to dress this new shape I have acquired. I am 5'7, size 12ish, big veiny BF boobs and a mummy tummy with a CS overhang (nice!).
My questions are:
- Is it ok to wear this skirt?
- Can I wear black tights with it or is that a horrible mistake?
- Can you recommend some shoes? I feel like I would like something pretty and unusual, or maybe some boot things, but don't know where to start. I can't walk in heels but have a few weeks to learn for the "right" shoes.
- Can you suggest a top? I had in my head a black cashmere ballet cardigan but would that be awful? And if it's ok, where could I buy one from?
I think I would like to spend maybe about £50 on each item but budget is a bit flexible if it is something I would wear again.
Sorry this is long and boring. The wedding is a young cousin of DHs, everyone there is young and beautiful and v v stylish. I really don't want to feel old and frumpy!
Thank you in advance!!
