Now there's a sentence you don't hear very often on her! I've bought this dress to wear to a wedding. I have some navy heels, but need a cover up of some sort? Thinking nude tights?

(If anyone moans about the dress I DID ask for help a while ago and didn't get any, this is what happens when I'm left on my own!)

Too £££ and its a bit mother of the bride for me sorry.

I've ordered both the m&s jackets. Thinking red shoes and bag, or yellow.

You can still add accent colours with bag, belt and scarf?

What's your budget, all in?

Budget is as low as possible! I've never really worn scarves, bit am liking the idea of one! Bright green?

I'd keep to a single accent colour, which do you love, green, yellow, red, pink?

Apologies if I've missed it, what colouring are you?

Pashmina?

You can get a scarf or pashmina in any colour really reasonably on Amazon by the looks of things.

Like the bag, don't think I'd go with a belt. Wouldn't a pashmina be a bit much if I get a jacket?

OP posts:
MuttonCadet · 08/02/2016 20:41

Yep, pashmina would be too much, but you can get the same colour as a silk scarf. (Too much scrolling to get to the scarves on the Amazon page - sorry).

Think I'll wait and see what jackets are like then take a trip to tkmaxx.
