This Saturday and I have a completely manic week and really can't go running round the shops (yes I realise I should have thought about this before!) I was going to wear something from my wardrobe - not sure what but I could cobble something together - but I was in town today and bobbed into Coast, where I tried on these two dresses:
dress 1- nice! Very dressy and a bit too low in front- but I could put a camisole underneath. Not sure I want black as ideally it would do for a summer wedding as well and what would I wear on my feet?
dress 2 - slightly too long (though I see on the website it is supposed to be below the knee) but feels absolutely lovely. Maybe a bit mumsy?
The trouble is I don't really know what I am looking for. It's a ceilidh and although I haven't imposed a dress code of any sort, some men are wearing kilts (so I can go dressy) while others will no doubt be in (smartish) jeans (so I don't have to).
I guess I want to look...not mumsy, not old enough to have a 40-year-old husband! But not madly try-too-hard trendy either. Arghhhhh.
