Stuff I Wear... for a Friend's Wedding.

I didn't take a specific outfit picture so I'm afraid there isn't a back view (basically the netting dips from the shoulders into a low V that stops where it meets the pale lilac bodice). The dress is from Coast and was originally £200 but I got it when it was half price. It was still the most I've ever paid for a dress but I was utterly smitten with it (no longer in sale section so can't link- sorry). I rationalised the purchase by telling myself that it isn't particularly in fashion, ergo, it will never go out of fashion! I bought it earlier this year and I've already worm it to two weddings and a prom so I'm adamant I'll get good value for money in terms of cost per wear! It did originally have a black satin belt round the waist but as I've lost a stone since Christmas (go me!)so I had to just tie a black ribbon round my waist (luckily I bought the size 10 and it's stretchy fabric so the dress itself still fits fine).


The shoes (barely seen) are just plain flesh toned pumps from New Look. I don't think they sell the version I purchased which have a higher heel and were in wide fit (to accommodate my ogre width feet) but these are similar- link! The bag was a pale cream clutch with subtle beading, it was from a charity shop for a mere £1 so I'm afraid I can't offer a link.  


I describe this dress as my 'Audrey Hepburn' dress because it just feels like a classic I could still be wearing in fifteen years. 


I will be doing a full post on the wedding soon but until then... xxx
