Wedding outfit help: what goes with mint green?

[scandichick]

I'm going to a fairly swish wedding, and need an outfit in a pale colour (to hide inevitable toddler handprints) that I can breastfeed in relatively easy. I finally found this top, only to realise absolutely nothing goes with it.

I'd prefer to stay away from white, as it's for a wedding, and other than that all I can think of is something in roughly the same colour. But I can't find anything.

I used to have a waist, so A-line skirts would be preferable... am a 14 at the moment.

Please help, or I'll have to start from scratch!

Peach or blush pink would go well

[andintothefire]

Good choice scandi!

I had never heard of Elsie's Attic before but love the designs.

[stealthbanana]

I would go with a pencil skirt in either pale pink or a creamy beige (I have agreat leather one that would work but it's old and can't link unfortunately!)

[Runningupthathill82]

That's a lovely choice, Scandi - you'll look fab.

[scandichick]

Great to know you've ordered from them, Running. That striped skirt looks lovely as does the pink one. Think I'll get this one, though - mint was just too advanced for me

[ChorusLine69]

Another vote for navy blue - it's nice combo with mint green and not as harsh as black

[TheDailyWail]

Baron? I meant narp!

[Runningupthathill82]

I would say so, yes - I'm 5ft 5 with short fat legs, and the skirt is a good length on me - just past my knees.

[TheDailyWail]

My vote is for the one linked to at 15:12 - hot pink floral

& for the one baron linked from JL @ 15:15

[scandichick]

I think you're right about the shape - the tulle won't look great, and I've tried a black pencil skirt but it looks too hard with mint.

[Narp]

Running

Yes, saw that.

They are lovely skirts and a great price. Would they suit a 5 ft 3 shortarse?

[Runningupthathill82]

Scandi - if the wedding is in Langdale in June you're banned from wearing the pink floral Ted Baker-looky-likey!!

[Narp]

FadedRed

Yes, I think that's a good idea

Simple skirt; statement shoes

[Runningupthathill82]

Narp - Elsie's Attic have a broad stripe navy and white that would work:

But I think I prefer the pink floral.

(I don't work for Elsie's attic, btw, just bought a skirt from there for a wedding and I love it!)

[scandichick]

The Elsie's Attic Ted Baker-look alikes are really lovely, I might just return the fecking top and start again. Onwards and upwards - has anyone seen a navy crop top?

[ceeveebee]

I'd wear white or cream wide legged trousers, no danger of being accused of upstaging bride and would work well with the fitted top

[FadedRed]

Plain black pencil skirt and these beauties (Heidi and Rio)

[Runningupthathill82]

I like the grey tulle, but again, would go for something more tailored.

[Narp]

I love the pink one, but not the grey becauseI really think you need a patterned skirt, or one that matches in colour exactly.

I think a broad striped black and white would look good too, but I can't find one atm

[andintothefire]

Hmm.. I would go for something slightly more tailored than the tulle skirt personally.

[Narp]

The 335 one again, this time proper link

[andintothefire]

Ps I love the last Elsie's Attic skirt though - floral would look great with the top!

[scandichick]

I'd look like an idiot in the Elsie's Attic one, sorry, but what about this grey tulle from there?

Or will I look like the children's entertainer...?

[andintothefire]

I think you could wear a white (or cream?) skirt actually. It would look lovely with the top. I think it is only all-white outfits that you should avoid. Nobody will mistake you for the bride or think that you are trying to upstage her.

However if other posters disagree then I stand corrected!
