wearing black for a summer wedding?

[fanniiminogue]

im not the bride! could i get away with it??

I'd have to say no.

Or maybe with very very bright and jazzy accessories.

But probably still no.

thats what i thought! just a simple black shift? i think its because i know i would wear a black dress again! dont like the idea of spending on a bright colour that i probably wouldnt wear again! cheap skate me!! back to the drawing board!

A couple of years back I bought a black linen shift dress ( longish) and an orange linen jacket and matching shortish skirt. With a very splendid lack hat the dress and jacket looked very good at a wedding. As they were plainish I wore the outfit without necklace, fancy shoes etc. for work the next year and also the orange suit for meetings and courses etc. It was all much admired and one of my best clothes purchases ever ( think it was all Planet)
