Wedding guest tomorrow..,

[JakeBallardswife]

I had planned to wear a dress V-neck navy ends at the knee with a pattern. Perfect or so I thought. However this week I’ve been bitten by so many flying things my legs look like a pincushion and I even have some bruises from scratching. If they’re not better by morning can I wear 7/8 trousers, navy & red, navy jumper, red sandals? Is it smart enough?

What about tights or concealer?

Tights won’t work with my sandals & concealer I’m planning to try but wanted a back up plan.

What sort of jumper is it?

That sounds more like a work outfit than a wedding outfit to me. Maybe a nice lunch. I don’t think it’s special enough.

If it is a chunky knit then its a bit to casual. Also check the weather for where you are tomorrow, in my town it's meant to be 23 degrees so you will be hot in a jumper!

Do you have a fancy blouse you could wear with the trousers?

M&S do sandal toe tights if you can get to one in the morning. Otherwise cold shower and concealer.

Thanks for opinions, jumper is phase 8, batwing fine knit . Pretty with jewellery, or could do white linen trousers & wedding type gold top but might have period tomorrow hence worry about white.

Will try concealer.

Also have royal blue maxi dress, are they still in fashion?

I’d go for the maxi dress, it’s better to be behind in fashion than underdressed IMO. I think it would be difficult to dress up 7/8 trousers and a jumper sufficiently for a wedding.

The royal blue maxi dress sounds like it could be perfect.

Royal blue maxi dress fine, unless the bridesmaids are wearing royal blue. Can you ask anyone?

Yes, everyone in pink so blues not an issue

However a friend has just bought a pink blush dress to coordinate with the bridesmaids, but she isn’t one. Interesting to see how that’ll be received.

Concealer worked, went with original plan

Glad it worked out. Please report back on the interloping bridesmaid!
