Help me wear jeans to my civil partnership!

CP in two weeks. I want to wear converse hightops, jeans and a fitted jacket (preferably leather or faux). I'm size 14, 5'5" so pretty curvy with a lot on the boob side. Thinking maybe good quality white t shirt and silver or gold converse (or other high tops, not wedded [pun intended] to converse) and silver or gold jacket? I'm brunet and suit warm colours - probably have enough of a tan to pull off blush pink too. Thoughts?

Your celebration, wear whatever you like. All sounds great to me.

Pavlova31 · 25/05/2021 16:47

Sounds great to me too.
I hope you have a lovely day !

I got married in jeans. Pink ones!

Sorry not helpful. I wonder if you might look a bit futuristic in a silver leather jacket?

bonfireheart · 25/05/2021 16:50

Sounds good. Do you have any pics of the jackets and shows you've seen?

pennysays · 25/05/2021 17:29

These converse and jacket. @Handsnotwands what jeans did you wear?
You might be right about being too metallic. What about a pink jacket and pink converse? Hot pink is my colour, but I'm trying to keep it subtle.

I think I'd do a non metallic jacket, but yes to the metallic shoes.

I think a pink jacket with grey jeans and the metallic converse could look great. I personally don't like anything too matchy, so wouldn't match shoes and jacket. But obviously, that's personal taste etc.

What about blush jacket and heart converse. Too cheesy?

@MaryTheMiddle yes, matchy is a problem when it doesn't quite match.

What about the top. Should I wear a t-shirt or something bardot off the shoulder...

Grin at “ I’m trying to keep it subtle” .

Bezzi · 25/05/2021 17:40

I love those heart converse! I prefer the white ones but I agree you should wear whatever makes you happiest!

MaryTheMiddle · 25/05/2021 17:43

Yes, I think a blush pink jacket with jeans and metallic trainers (maybe low tops rather than high tops?) would be nice Smile

Do you have a budget in mind? Do you already have jeans or are we looking for the whole outfit? Do you have a favourite cut for jeans?

MaryTheMiddle · 25/05/2021 17:43

Could do rose gold trainers maybe.

TokyoSushi · 25/05/2021 17:48

Pink jacket, metallic Converse, sounds fabulous! 💖

pennysays · 25/05/2021 17:57

@MaryTheMiddle budget under £100 for the jacket and under £100 for the shoes. I will buy M&S bum shaper jeans. I already own 5 pairs so just new ones for the day!

@IND1A are you trying to say an entirely metallic outfit would not be subtle??!! I'm trying to keep a balance between wearing something that is not my everyday wear whilst not going for a frock.

@Bezzi if I wear the heart converse should I wear something more sparkly on top jacket wise?

OP posts:
pennysays · 25/05/2021 18:01

@TokyoSushi which converse do you prefer? There are also these.

Bloody hell, that’s a massive link!

pennysays · 25/05/2021 18:13

@Blossomtoes ohh nice. I own one already but that is lovely. With metallic converse? And what top?

Love the metallic converse and the heart ones Smile Definitely agree on a good quality fitted white t-shirt - or a bodysuit if you’re going to tuck it in as I find the tuck is always neater and creates a better silhouette with a body!

Hope you have a great day OP your outfit sounds amazing! Smile

Blossomtoes · 25/05/2021 18:21

Depends what colour jeans I guess. If you’re going for a dark wash, you could go black or navy. Whatever you choose make the jacket and converse the stars of the show.

pennysays · 25/05/2021 18:37

@greymayday ok great. Any suggestions on where to buy said white T-shirt?

OP posts:
pennysays · 25/05/2021 18:37

@greymayday and what colour jacket would you go for?

@pennysays

I’m thinking if there’s ever a day to have NO balance and be right out there it’s on your wedding day . So I’d go for the hot pink myself and the silver converse. More of a contrast.

Or do you have to coordinate with your fiancee’s outfit ?
