My cousin is getting married this Saturday. First of all (in true budget style!) I bought a gorgeous red dress from ebay. I was really pleased with paying £40 for a Karen Millen dress (albeit used). However it is
tight. I mean, the zip does up but really is very clingy (I'm a few pounds above my usual weight at the moment!). Here is is (excuse the dodgy hair and no makeup!):
I figure I can use the red one, just when I'm slightly lighter and don't have to be in it
all day. So I then bought another dress from ebay, this time from Oasis (£17, brand new with tags!). This one fits better and is less "glam" and as I can wear it with opaques and my shoots from French Connection (as yet unworn), it feels slightly more appropriate for winter (even though it has a low back!). Here are some pics:
Sorry, all these pics were taken on my iphone so not great quality but you get the idea. I will either wear the purple dress with a navy flared coat (depending on whether the dress looks weird poking out, it isn't very long) or a longer cream coat. I'm thinking a messy side bun, dangly silver earrings (would wear gold but I don't have any!) and a bronzy clutch.
I'll try and take a few photos at the wedding! D is planning a black suit and purple and white stripey tie, he likes to match me!!
