hate hate hate being over dressed. have no idea at all what anyone else will wear. currently looking v fetching in a black Baby Ceylon crepe bias cut frock to the knee with a huge brown and black stretchy waspie belt, i also have some patterned grey tights, you know kind of holey. but, is is also peeing with rain and howling wind and i wondered whether i ought to stick to orig plan of putting grey skinny jeans underneath to dress it down. am taking a huuuuge bag so if i arrived and felt underdressed i could whip em in my bag. what do you reckon?

btw it was an all girls school so ppresumeably no chaps at all but if its rubbish we might go on to cocktail bar

ps thanks!

though am going with a really good friend of mine yet despairingly she is doomed to be an eternal hippy. am getting a bit worried she might come in her party glitter with her party plaits

Whats wrong with being overdressed? I love being overdressed! Everyone will look at you and say'She looks fab, I wish I had made more of an effort' Go for it! But wear black opaques.
