Afternoon all,
I am seeking help from all of you seasoned style gurus! I have two weddings to attend this year - but the same bride, one in UK and one abroad. (Multi ethnic couple rather than designation wedding. They won’t be particularly formal - the UK one will be outside unless raining; other one may be slightly more formal. I live in lounge wear or jeans……
Weather: completely unclear. Due to times of year, both could be warm and sunny, both are equally likely to be cold, windy and rainy. I feel the cold.
Me: late forties, 5’6, size 8/10, pretty fit/toned with mum tum. Measurements , 32 28 34 I would guess. Maybe less. Messy salt and pepper fair, never wear make up. Brown hair, blue eyes, fair skin.
Outfit: does not have to be a frock! Strong colours suit me - purples, dark /bright pinks/ reds/ electric blue, emerald green. But flexible. Not keen on formal but open to other patterns or plain also. Not sleeveless. I suit v neck, scoop, cowl and roll neck but not crew. I love vintage - 30s, 40s, 50s etc but not places like Joanie or Hells Bunny, too naff.
Issues: Needs to be flexible for all weather options. Sensory issues which rules out heels, linen, wool etc. Prefer natural fabrics - cotton, silk, bamboo and so on but some of the new recycled synthetics ok. I like outfits that look expensive : Reiss, Jigsaw, Hobbs, Cos, And Other Stories etc. Budget is more ASOS/ Boohoo which does not fill me with joy! Totally open to vinted/ eBay.
If anyone can advise me I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.
