I’m trying not to buy new clothes and have a smart christening coming up at the end of the month.
Trying to work out if I can put something together with existing clothes, my ideas are:
- tan ‘leather’ pleated skirt, cream silky blouse tucked in, leopard pony skin type court shoes, camel short blazer
- navy wide leg trousers, cream blouse as above, cropped boucle navy blazer, mustard XL lightweight scarf and court shoes as above
- cropped wide leg black trousers, patent chunky loafers, linen oatmeal shirt, light green blazer
- black full skirt dress with short cashmere sweater over the top, mustard scarf & leopard courts as above
Are any of these ok?? It will be full of posh people so it feels like these are all a bit ‘make do’ to be honest, I don’t really have many dresses and none suitable other than adapting the one option listed. Rest are either super night-out, beach or ball gown!!
I’m 5’10” and size 12 athletic build, if it makes any difference! Another reason I don’t usually do dresses is that I have thick ankles, so for example I wouldn’t wear any footwear with an ankle strap.
