Please help me in my not very stylish lime green dilemma

[suwoo]

It is our annual conference with work in October and each 'team' has to dress in a theme to mark them apart from each other. Some twat stylishly challenged person in my team has suggested we wear lime green with black. I have seen nothing in lime green at all that I would wear that is within my miniscule budget. I WILL NOT pay loads of money for something in lime green that I will never wear again. I have seen on Ebay, lime green necklaces, big corsages and pashminas all for way under a tenner. I get really rebellious when told what to wear- can anyone suggest anything. I am normally a Topshop and Primark kinda girl.

Could you buy something you like (style/shape-wise) in white and then dye it lime-green?

Theres always the option of then dying it another colour afterwards so its not worn once and binned

I don't even want to pay for the cost of the dye . The only thing I have seen is this but I don't really think its business dress

& it isn't really lime

I have a 1960's dress in Lime - what size are you?

Top?

Suewoo you don't work for a pharma company do you?

No, DrN I don't, do you know of one that has these stupid ideas? Nice top Jackie, but not for me.

Oh KatyMac, I'm a 10/12.

I'd wear a black dress with all my accessories lime green like you suggested earlier.

Not sure it's really lime, even though it says so.

Lime green nail varnish? (Don't know if you can get it though!)

I do yes!

Personally I wold refuse to wear lim blinkin green on the grounds I have had my colurs done and I should never wera lime grren

Can you just accessorise instead?

Well it would be big(ish) on you I reckon it's a 14

Do you want a photo when I get home?

I like that one Jackie, but it looks yellow doesn't it. What was the woman thinking??? I think I will stick to my guns and accessorise. I always wear piles of necklaces and bracelets anyway, so will be being true to myself...except they'll be in lime green .

I'd love a photo Katy please. What style is it? A line?

Dare I suggest Boden sale? (do a search on 'lime' on the boden site, and there are a couple more, too).

Yep a-line - classic 60's dress imo - round neck (not low) & no sleeves

Katy could I wear it over black skinny jeans with shoe boots? If so, sounds good.
Jackie, will have a look, but not really that type

Definatly & if you want you could put a black blouse/shirt underneath

Ooh, I am really liking the sound of this. From what I remember of your location, you aren't near Manchester are you? We would have to post then (rec del). Would love to see a pic tonight whenever you get chance.

Not sure which picture came out better (due to the colour)
