with black heels and black bag?

it’s not what I was after but I couldn’t find anything locally and this fitted well and the colour brightened me up but I now thing it might be a bit informal.

also, shoes: can’t find my sandals and it feels like an odd time of year to buy more so thought I’d rush off and get some closed toe shoes tomorrow after work. But I can only walk in low heels - any ideas?

thanks folks

I wouldn’t, no. It’s not “formal” enough x

I think it's too daytime really, it would be ok for a wedding but I don't think it's 'evening-y' enough I'm afraid.

Alternative is this. Fitted really well but I thought the colour was perhaps a bit drab: https://www.whistles.com/product/daisy-field-lola-dress-37035.html#navAjax=true&is=false&cgid=Midi_Dresses_Clothing_WW&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&prefn1=refinementColor&prefv1=Purple&pid=daisy-field-lola-dress-37035&pos=3

It's a nice dress but not suitable for black tie.

Nope, not formal enough.

I wouldn't say either are suitable, no.

The second dress is even more inappropriate sorry.

Sorry, but I wouldn't wear them. Not formal enough

What size are you let's see if we can collectively suggest something?

Oh dear.

thanks v much @TomatoSandwiches

Next do next day delivery if you order by 11pm. They have loads of brands available including Reiss, Sistaglam, Lipsy etc etc.
you could wear a jumpsuit if it was smart enough

That green Oliver Bonas dress is beautiful

That’s good to know. I need to get dinner on in a min but will do a trawl after that and try to find something. I do like the other Oliver Bonas green dress - just need to find a way to get hold of it tomorrow!

Yes, you just need to find somewhere with next day delivery.

This is gorgeous.

Have you got black shoes and a black bag?

Just ordered it for next day delivery in size 8 - thanks so much @TomatoSandwiches Just under the wire for the 7pm cut-off for NDD!

i usually get a 6 there so might be a bit big but looks as if it can be belted in a bit. If I can find shoes I’m sorted!!

its been an insanely stressful week and am feeling v drab and washed out - haven’t had a chance to think about the event so really appreciate the help.

Oh I'm so glad I could help. I hope you have a lovely time.

I have the bag but can’t find my black sandals!! Only have flat one. Going to do a v thorough search tonight but am worried they might have been left on holiday in the summer

Sorry keep trying to reply to specific messages and failing 🙄
