to go with a knee-length (a-line-ish) skirt

will need to be smart (for henley regatta)

skirt taupe so jacket can be neutral (with colourful accessories) or a colour that would jazz it up a bit

short sleeved jackets aren't stylish in my humble opinion

Tutter · 27/05/2008 13:14

ooooh

that would look fab

OP posts:
MargaretMountford · 27/05/2008 13:15

yes, that is nice

Tutter · 27/05/2008 13:15

jacket sprang to mind as top needs to be simple and smart

skirt quite full so need to avoid 'full' tops

but can't wear clingy due to bad tummy

I just think that short sleeves are very middle aged woman at a wedding...

Tutter · 27/05/2008 13:19

two skirt options on profile

pic doesn't do first one justice - tis flattering

the reiss top comes in yellow

skirt 2 features a yellow stripe

but am unsure about wearing yello

she is really going here

MrsBadger · 27/05/2008 13:49

we foolishly booked our holiday without reference to the Season and are missing Henley this year
though how they would have coped with 10mo dd I am not sure

Personally I would wear a cardigan

Cappuccino · 27/05/2008 13:49

and a woolly hat

Tutter · 27/05/2008 13:50

fitted cardigan fab in theory

but over my apple midriff = bad

imagine a little gap twixt each button

spoils the effect no?

MrsBadger · 27/05/2008 13:50

...unless I was in Stewards [suspicious]

Tutter · 27/05/2008 13:50

MrsBadger · 27/05/2008 13:52

I have a pink angora boden one you could borrow but it is a 10

Cappuccino · 27/05/2008 13:53
