Which outfit? And shoes help!

For a wedding in a couple of weeks. I have both outfits and probably prefer the skirt but wonder if not smart enough.

And in either case - what shoes (or boots?)? I can't wear high heeled straps sandals like the models! Might even need tights?

River Island has a nice sequin tank top you could wear under whatever jacket you had planned, and then sleeveless so not too sweaty for evening dancing. Also wearable with jeans/trousers etc for future.

They have yellow and gold and the yellow looks pretty gold to me and is on sale.

Oh I do like the tank and the gold top linked below! But - my skin is super fair/pinky in tone with freckles...gold against my face is not good!! Black works ok but not very wedding-y - the cream top I have has sparkly bits in it.

All very tricky!! I'll defo wear the skirt again - as a short person I love the length not swamping me (I bought the dress in petite and it's still nearly ankle length!) and will wear it for Xmas events even if not the wedding.

I think the cream top would be fine. Is the skirt black or navy? Either or, try and get a statement piece of jewellery in black or navy and that will break the cream up. You won't be mistaken for the bride! Plus I assume you won't be sitting at the top table!

It's black so that's a good idea - black and gold statement necklace. Perfect.

Some of these suggestions look like old sacks and absolutely nothing like what the OP has said she has, so probably not anywhere near the style she'd go for.
OP I love that skirt. I'd go for something gold to bring our the gold in the skirt and it wear it with pointed toe flat shoes.

This top would look fabulous with the skirt!

I also love the dress, I must be 'drab' too 😏

I don't like any of the other dresses suggested.

The first one could work.

That skirt is not appropriate fir a wedding
And NOTHING from fat face is 'fancy'

Wear the dress
