Help! If you have a dd(15) who lives in Allstars and jeans - come tell me - what would she wear to a wedding?

[mumonthenet]

Summer wedding on the South Coast of England.

DD loves clothes but hasn't worn a skirt since she was a 3 yr old!

What kind of look?

what abotu some cool harem type pants? and glads

A bubble dress, ballet flats and an oversized handbag.

she can still wear trousers - just alter hte fabric
still look all messy but glamourously so.
is she thin?

not glads
heeels maybe
long necklace

or a dreaded playsut?

Silver/sparkly converses and smartish culottes or linen shorts or capri pants?

My dd1 (11) also never wears skirts. Her current smart outfit is linen shorts and smart t-shirt.

ooo good, the stylequeens are online!

Thanks for ideas.

Yes, she's thin, long straight hair, sporty.

What are glads?

I've done smart shorts to a wedding
So...
cropped cardi in bright colour (cerise/lime would be ace)
Black fitted tshirt
smart shorts
heels

gladiator sandals are glads.

what famous people does she like? do they wear the kind of think she would like\you would approve of?

tunic dress, leggings, smart flats and some fun jewellery?

love the ideas...thanks.

she would probably go down the tunic/leggings route. Or the shorts/harem pants.

Cropped bright cardi is nice...wonder if she'd go for it.

She wears quite muted colours, is very pretty but doesn't like to draw attention.

Doubt if she'd wear a puffball or heels. Likes classic stuff but with a fashion edge...wears baggy jeans with a coloured strappy vest topped by a thin v-neck sweater or a long cardi. Sometimes drainpipes too, but always with Vans, Allstars, or, Merrills.

Hang on,

shorts with bare legs I suppose in summer?

Anyone got any websites?

she need to try on i think - will she?
surely she can wear adult stuff?
they normally like river island at that age

Can't really add anything - just remembering my younger sister turning up to a rather staid cousin's wedding in full goth mode.... my mother just dragged her out of any photo opportunity.....

arf....no goth mode in this house at present luckily! Your brave mother!

Yes she will try on - loves buying new clothes. Did ask me if I thought jeans would be ok at wedding. But is willing to try new styles.

Am only asking on here so I can give her some ideas. but she knows what she likes so I won't (and don't want to) be dictating what she wears. As long as it's not goth!

Must run. Back later.

Have a look in the day dresses section on the river island website, its flash so i cant link

there's some smock dresses that are a bit different which may look nice with legging or black skinnies and some nice pumps

what bonsoiranna said

if she usually wears converse she should be ok in ballet flats

or a prom dress like this with bright cropped cardi and ballet flats

geometric

hearts playsuit but could pass for dress

Some sort of tailored blazer with rolled up sleeves a la Moss, with one of those fringed scarves. Over either a white fitted T and shorts, or a floral dress and ballet pumps. A slightly masculine blazer will contrast very nicely with the dress.

Love love love this blazer and it has a multitude of uses - looks great over skinny jeans!

thanks sazzle, kristina and unrequited.

Yes, I think she will go for some kinda smock/dress over leggings/skinny jeans.

I suppose she can wear skinny jeans if the top and shoes are smart enough .

She would love that jacket unrequited! She did talk about a blazer from Bershka.
