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?

Well now I love the sparkly converse too. And the metallic jacket. (I realise I am zero help here.)
If you are happy and you love what you pick to wear you are going to radiate brilliance anyways

@IND1A ohh I like it. No currently trying to encourage DP not to wear cargo shorts… so nothing to coordinate with!

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

My thinking too.

Hooplawho · 25/05/2021 19:00

Sounds fab to me - I think I’d go hot pink jacket too, and what about customising the converse, you could choose the colours/patterns you like and maybe include your wedding date on the back?

Hooplawho · 25/05/2021 19:01

Sorry, civil partnership! D’oh

AndeanMountainCat · 25/05/2021 19:21

I really like the silver jacket and silver cons! Would look great with blue skinny jeans. And a Breton top.

But don’t listen to me, I’m fairly clueless. If ever I try to glam up, I look more like a man in drag.

Kerzehmet · 25/05/2021 19:28

Would you consider custom converse? You can get them direct from the manufacturer, choosing colour, stripes, badge colour, eyelet and even with embroidery on the heel (biased because that's what I've done for my upcoming wedding)

Should come in 2 weeks (just!)

pennysays · 25/05/2021 20:26

@AndeanMountainCat LOL. That is very funny.

@Kerzehmet yes I would...but the lead time was worrying!

Just back from my exercise class! Plain silver Converse!

pennysays · 25/05/2021 20:29

What about this with the heart converse. (Also, is this Daniella Westbrook?)

I came on to say rose gold but see we have moved on. I really like the pic you've posted there with red jacket and to match with the heart converse.👌

MaryTheMiddle · 25/05/2021 20:38

I like the red jacket and no, I don't think that's Daniella Westbrook!

Op, you sound so, so happy - I love it! I'm excited for you and hope you and dp have the best day ever Flowers

Griefmonster · 25/05/2021 20:38

Have a wonderful day whatever you chose!

bonfireheart · 25/05/2021 20:42

Like the red, real pop of colour.

itsmeagainagain · 25/05/2021 20:51

No not red!

greymayday · 25/05/2021 21:07

@mowwiththebow That’s beautiful!

greymayday · 25/05/2021 21:08

I think All Saints are good for quality plain white t shirts OP - expensive for a plain t shirt but very nice quality.

wildeverose · 25/05/2021 21:10

I would do a blush pink like blazer and rose gold
Or gold high tops 😍😍

GlutenFreeGingerCake · 25/05/2021 21:17

I want to see a hot pink jacket with the silver converse and a silver top

Feedingthebirds1 · 25/05/2021 21:38

@GlutenFreeGingerCake

Me too. The silver converse and the (Freemans but who cares) jacket. Would you think about something like this underneath it? Fairly plain but luxe looking, let the jacket and converse do most of the talking with the top and jeans in supporting roles?
pennysays · 25/05/2021 23:08

Ok I feel like we are really getting somewhere here! Thank you for all you help. You’ve made me realise that I can wear a bold coloured jacket and that’s definitely more my style.

I think we have:

Red jacket and and white heart converse wear

OR

hot pink and silver converse

Either way white T-shirt or that lovely top the @Feedingthebirds1 has suggested.

Cast your votes please!

@MaryTheMiddle I deffo want high tops and my boobs don’t fit in a double breasted but all saints is a good choice for top and jacket

@GlutenFreeGingerCake I’ve got your vote - pink!

@wildeverose I think blush is out… what do you think about the above options?

@mowwiththebow hot pink and red hearts… a bit of power clashing. Will it work?

@itsmeagainagain so you think red?

@Griefmonster cast a vote please… red or hot pink jacket and silver or white heart converse?
