could I wear something like this....

[ppandj]

... To a "posh" wedding? Will i regret not wearing a normal nice dress?

Lovely - I much prefer that to the usual 'going to a wedding' type dresses.

Absolutely! I love that look.

Definitely. Love it.

Ooh yes very nice. I'd probably put a statement necklace with it or even a sparkly brooch.

Yes of course, but I would say a hard look to pull off if you are not tall and thin.

Ooh excellent!

Good point, I am not tall and not as thin as I once was so will reserve final judgement until I've tried on. thanks everyone!

Yes. I'm v find of a full, midi skirt and am neither tall nor thin - 5'2, size 12. I find a skirt and top much easier to wear/find than a dress.

fond not find

Yes it looks lovely, I especially love the jumper in the first picture.

Not keen on the first two outfits for a "posh" wedding myself, but love the third (think it's the colours and the slightly more structured look). Agree this look is softer and nicer than a lot of the suit and hat numbers you sometimes see at weddings IMHO.

Tall, thin and youthful for the looks pictured which are fab, but perilously close to granny chic. I think it's the unstructured calf length skirts. IMO a fuller more structured skirt is easier to pull off if it needs to looks formal. More this kind of shape / structure though not with this dreary jumper.

I know what you mean Elle but I find very think structured skirts are less flattering on me personally. I have 2 Topshop sweaters you see that are the potential options- both in pastel colours (mint green or baby pink) so there is definite potential to look granny-ish if accessories were wrong.

I love the looks you have posted but have you tried one of those skirts on? I am a slim size 8 and I ordered a similar one to wear to a Christmas party and I looked huge in it. They're not flattering on the tummy.

If you find one that does suit you I think it would be lovely for a wedding.

I really like that black outfit, dreary jumper and all.

Well then go for it ppandj the right shoes and necklace should steer you clear of granny territory. If you'd do metallic - something like this could be fun skirt

Does anyone know where I can buy shoes like in the third pic, not necessarily white, I just don't know what that shape is (quite low cut, straight across the foot)

Ruddy what about these? Sorry I can't link.

They're a nice price, thanks! I'll go and have a try on I think
