I will be attending a wedding - evening reception October in Scotland. So although not outdoors may be a bit chilly. I so rarely buy new clothes so I will enjoying buying some with a view to wear afterwards.
I am thinking "posh hippie" if that even is a thing ! I am looking for layers in rich colours. I have seen some light weight velvet duster coats which I want to wear all evening, but not sure what to wear underneath. I was thinking maybe a silk trouser suit but a dress may be good too. I would like some fine detail, maybe around the chest area, maybe embroidery or a tiny bit of bling. I love wearing feathers in my hair so that's the vibe. Coat wise I would like a rich dark blue, chocolate, emerald .burnt sierra . Something dark and sumptious. I can see the outfil in my mind's eye, but haven't seen anything that would fit the bill.

I’d probably look for silk trousers and a coordinating top for under the coat. Long sleeves and take coat off if the heating is on.

Thanks both.

There may be central heating, but could still be draughty or chilly indoors.
