Ok got a dress from monsson in the sale for sisters wedding in a couple of weeks. Its red knee length cross over type front, also got some black high heeled shoes and black bag.
Now I'm stuck I want something to go over it to keep me warm but still look nice.
I was thinking faux fur?? or is this really naff also what colour tights black or nude?
The dress wass only £35 the shoes £10 and bag £7 so don't want to be spending huge.
amounts.

Black tights would look ok depending on the style of the dress and then you could wear a black jacket or nude tights would go too. Depends how much you want to stand out.

Tried to find your dress on their website but couldn't see it.

It was in the sale, I was going to try and link to it but couldn't find it.
I am just at a loss trying to find anything nice to go with it!

I think that you should wear what ever tights you feel most comfortable in and just get something black to wear over the top that you would wear again - IME you won't wear the jacket or whatever you wear on top for long anyway. So if you'd wear a faux fur again then go for it.

You could even get a black belt to go with it if that's your type of thing.

i am a bit self concious of the tops of my arms so i may well want to keep the top on to hide them lol.

I think faux fur would be lovely, with black shoes bag and NUDE tights.

Friend got married last xmas - we had hailstones all day so everyone ended up wearing coats over their outfits anyway andwhen we got to the reception they had turned up the heating even the most selfconscious peple were ditching their cover-ups!

you'll be fine after a couple of drinks and once you get into the mood.
