Help! I've got the shoes and bag but can't find the outfit!

I've got the shoes and bag that I like for a wedding in two weeks, but can't find an outfit!
I did have a dress but decided I didn't like it, so just stuck with these now.
Can anyone help me find something, I seem to be going round in circles.
I'm 5'4ft and slightly pear shaped if this helps. Probably £60 budget on the dress.
Thank you ☺️

What are the shoes and bag like?

ScarlettDarling · 09/08/2021 08:49

Ooh we need a bit more info... what colours/ styles do you like?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2021 08:53

I saw somebody wearing this the other day and thought it looked amazing.

Theothersideof40 · 09/08/2021 08:55

Doh! Here's the shoes and bag! 🙈

Okay. What colours, shapes and shops do you like?

justaweeone · 09/08/2021 09:08

What was the original dress and what did you not like about it?

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie that's my problem, I'm not really sure, I never buy dressy dresses. Not something too frilly, and not something too long, other than that I'm open to all suggestions. I don't have a certain shop, just a budget of no more than £60 really. Thank you

Plenty to choose from here. & Other Stories - don’t know about sizes available though.

justaweeone · 09/08/2021 09:27

What size Op as I found when I was looking recently for a dress lots of out of stock in certain sizes.
Do you want to stick with a floral?
Any colour you dislike?

Theothersideof40 · 09/08/2021 09:40

@Edmontine thanks, I'll have a good look on there.
@justaweeone I'm a 10 in some places and 12 in others. No particular colour as long as it matches the light pink in the shoe/bag and no not necessarily sticking to the floral.
I have this dress in my wardrobe, which fits perfectly, but not sure if it's too dark/plain for a summer wedding.

Op
I went to a wedding recently and the MOTB wore a navy dress and she looked stunning so I wouldn't be afraid to wear it and would look really elegant.

DGFB · 09/08/2021 11:47

I think your baby dress with those shoes and bag would look lovely. Navy is classic

DGFB · 09/08/2021 11:48

Navy dress!

Theothersideof40 · 09/08/2021 12:38

I've taken a photo of me in my navy dress, I've only worn it twice, also one I've just picked up from Next.

The navy dress is lovely - you look really elegant.

Theothersideof40 · 09/08/2021 12:52

@justaweeone sorry not ignoring you, just got back from a few nights away and Dad's birthday tomorrow, so just mad rushing around!
I've seen the long sleeve m and co one in store and it is lovely, I'm just not sure about the long sleeves. I may take a trip and try it on though. Thank you so much

The navy dress with the pink sandals is lovely. Very elegant, but the pink makes it summery and “lighter”. Hits the spot perfectly.

Losttheequipment · 09/08/2021 13:10

The blue dress looks lovely on you. I would wear that!

Theothersideof40 · 09/08/2021 14:07

Thanks, do people still wear fascinators?

Yes or a headpiece with feathers or flowers.

Try starcrossedbeauty on etsy - something like this - www.etsy.com/uk/listing/613628863/nude-blush-light-pink-sinamay-rose?ref=shop_home_feat_1&bes=1

The blue dress is gorgeous! So elegant.

You will look really elegant.
