I am going to a wedding soon. I have this dress

And was thinking of these shoes

And this bag

Thoughts? Think this will be ok?

Was contemplating a fascinator - what would work?

Looks lovely op. What's your hair like? I favour a big hair clip.

NauseousNancy · 04/08/2021 11:35

Long medium brown hair - can have a tendency to be a bit lank so going to try and create some waves! Curls never last unfortunately!

Love the dress. I’m not a fan of fascinators and I think they’re quite old fashioned. I’d go for either a big hair clip as pp said or commit and wear a hat.

Letthelightoflove · 04/08/2021 11:38

Oh and I’m not sure about the bag - looks a bit beachy?

NauseousNancy · 04/08/2021 11:47

Yes I’m a bit concerned the bag might be a bit too casual….I pick it up today so will see what it’s like.

I like it. The bag will work well with the shoes, I don’t think it’s too casual for a summer wedding.

CheerfulBunny · 04/08/2021 14:28

I think that all looks lovely! I like a straw bag/tan sandal, goes with anything and you can wear them again with another outfit. My hair never holds a curl either, OP. The only thing that really works is mousse, waves put in with my straighteners ( see YouTube) and lots of hairspray! Sometimes it can last for days if I do it well. I love it because it feels like I've got lots of bouncy hair for a change but I can't do it all the time because it knackers the condition Sad

I think it would look fab
What about wearing to hair up and put in some pretty hair clips

Cheesecake53 · 04/08/2021 15:00

Looks lovely!

NauseousNancy · 04/08/2021 15:15

Comments are reassuring me, thank you! Lost so much confidence lately - think it’s being at home all the time coupled with weight gain.

I don’t really like wearing my hair up, I am really conscious of my chubby cheeks. Will have a look at YouTube for waves!

Really lovely for a summer wedding , very pretty
No fascinator tho , I think they are now ‘out ‘
A big hat would look great tho

AustinPowerful · 04/08/2021 15:51

Lovely outfit!

The dress is such a fab colour.

VenusClapTrap · 04/08/2021 16:15

Nice outfit. The bag and shoes are on the informal side so don’t wear a fascinator or hat, as they are at the other end of the formality spectrum (and a bit dated).
