Please help me, stylish MNers. I need to find an outfit for a wedding.

[LastOrders]

I am off to a wedding in June, and have been looking forward to buying a lovely swishy dress to wear, but have lost my job, now I'm skint and need to go with plan B.

Which is, find something from wardrobe and dress it up.

Whilst going through my summer bits I found this skirt(on profile)which I decided I'd wear, but need a top, shoes and accessories to go with it.

Please help...! I'm not to flush at the moment, so has to be on credit card a bit of a budget.

I'm not a skinny mini, so anything from Jane Norman and the like is out of the question. I don't really like exposing the tops of my arms, but can cover with a pashmina.

And I'm after a nice shoe with a heel, no flaties! (I live in flat shoes and am dying to glam up!)

Any ideas?

I am neither stylish nor fashionable - but geme to have a go

off to look at profile!

I love that skirt!!
right, what sort of shape top suits you best- are you a shirt/blouse person or more a nice jersey style? I'd be tempted to go for the blue, but that's typical of me, would creamy colours suit better? Actually I'm wondering if a simple creamy vest cami thing under a jacket would do it....

Come on, giggle. Give it ya best shot!

I'm quite pale so need colour, turquoise blue would be good.

Fab boobs, but naf upper arms so a vest maybe a no no...

I want accessories and things and stuff! Corsages (those flowery things?) and braclets.

See how fashion knowhow I'm not!?

blue cardi shrug thing for over a cami. short sleeved jacket would cover a multitude

and i lurve these but obv have no idea if they are in budget or relevant

Matalan is fantastic for accessories - and the website just doesn't do it justice. Are you anywhere near a shop?

@ fab boobs

Yeah, one in town.

Loving that its only me and you trying to be oh so stylish before the real bods pop up and try to get me to buy Joseph or Jigsaw!

you sayin we're not stylish?

you said budget dincha?!!

look at all on this page they're calling it 'lavender' but it all looks the same cornflower-blue that's in your skirt to me

look, Bargains!! lol!

The links keep making my connection crash!

Will have a look tomorrow at them...

The skirt was from Peacocks , my middle name is budget!

omg - it looks soooo like the Monsoon stuff that you will look like a right posh toff

oh what a coincidence, we have the same middle name

This is nice, with a shrug over the top...

like it. sorry, am off to bed via twilight thread

I'll be back (quote arnie)

Anyone else care to assist?

Oh, come on!!

You guys normally pour over these threads in order help us poor unfashionable sorts!

Is it cos I is not a size 8?!
