HELP!!! Flying to Spain on Saturday for a wedding and still don't have an outfit!!

You may recall a while ago I posted a pic of a yellow dress I had ordered? well basically, last night I decided I just don't feel comfortable in it. I know it's a nice dress but it's just not me, if that makes sense.

I found these Miss KG shoes reduced to £19 and fell in love with them so now I'm trying to get a dress to match. I've ordered all of these dresses which are arriving at some point today so we'll see if they fit etc. But I just wanted your opinion on whether you think the shoes will work with the dresses? And if there's any particular combination you think might work? The red dress is a bit of a wildcard if I'm honest. I'm a red head and often don't suit red so we'll see.

Opinions/advice much appreciated!

Thank you all!

I love those sandals OP. The dresses are lovely but I've just come back from Spain and it was 38 degrees - ridiculously hot and if I had worn any of those dresses I'd have sported an enormous sweat patch on my midriff Confused Please don't underestimate how hot and sticky it's going to be. Body-con dresses, even if you have a fab figure, are really not going to work for an event in that sort of heat.
I agree the dresses linked by Spanishwife are all more suitable (and gorgeous!)
Hope you get sorted, enjoy the wedding!

Update: so it turns out the red dress is actually a very thin, light fabric and looks good on so I've gone for that one. Pics will follow of the finished look after the wedding Smile

Glad it looks great Smile. Would love to see a pic of the final look

The red is gorgeous. Have a great time OP!

So pleased to hear this, OP! Yes, please send us a photo.

I'm in mainland Spain at the moment (live here) and must emphasise staying in the shade and staying well hydrated. When you don't need to go out during the hottest part of the day (afternoon and early evening), stay indoors with the aircon on, and generally take it easy. If you need to take public transport, buses tend to be cooler than metros.

Only full body pic of me has my daughter in it, but here's the outfit. It was a hot day but the dress definitely wasn't too hot and I felt comfortable in it. Thanks all for your help ☺️

You look fab! Really gorgeous. And your little girl's outfit is beautiful too!

Aw, gorgeous. So glad you had a good time and felt happy with your dress.

You look just fabulous, and I love the matching lippy! You little girl looks so sweet too.
Glad it all went so well, and thanks for posting an update, it's so nice when posters do that! Wine
