Hello you very stylish lot!
I'm going to a wedding in Scotland in early November, meeting some of my partners friends (not family) for the first time. I think it might be quite a posh wedding and I want to get the outfit right. It's at a small cathedral, then a bar/restaurant place for the evening.
I've got this dress for it.

do you think it's ok?
I'm not usually a dressy person at all, I dress smart ish for work, and the rest of the time is dungarees or pinafore dresses.
I have a chronic pain condition which can sometimes affect my mobility, I should be fine for the wedding but it means I don't own any heels! And I think this dress needs them? but they'll have to be supportive, and not too high. I do like platform heels, but I so rarely go to big occasions so it seems ridiculous to buy proper heels. I was wondering about some snazzy ankle boots, that I could get more wear out of after?
I have a black velvet Boden coat I got from a charity shop which I think will be ok over the top?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on the dresses suitability, and any suggestions for shoes and bag?
I already have a plain silver evening bag which might go?
I like metallics, greens, pinks, bold yellows, floral, embroidery. I know the red is maybe an obvious choice to pick out, but I don't like red so don't want to buy accessories in it.
My budget is low but any advice and inspiration would be much appreciated!
I've attached some pics of me in it. Yes I do need to buy a new bra!
I'm off out today but will return tonight or tomorrow morning!
Thank you 😊
