    Would like the whole shoe to be silver in colour with crystals and or glitter whereas the dree shoes look quite dark in colour but with lovely sparkle.

    Hi
    I'm attending a wedding as Step mum of the bride ( her own mum will be present) and I am stuck for what to wear. Obviuosly I want to be smart and feel special but not to upstage anyone or put noses out of joint. I rarely wear dresses at all and so I was considering some kind of floaty trouser suit combination. I saw one at a wedding years ago which had a wide soft trousers and a longline jacket with matching cami/vest but i cant see anything similar online. Does anyone have any ideas.

    Im not sure if we are looking at the same one. Dree comes in silver glitter or a black type glitter.

    Ill keep an eye out as im looking for some shoes at lunch and ill post some ideas if I see any x

    So sorry MrsMooreTo Be - I was looking on the phone at the dree shoes and only saw the black type glitter and that was why I said it was a bit too dark for me! Have now seen it in the silver and it is what I am looking for although I would prefer it with a slightly shorter or thicker heel as I am not very good in high heels!

    Scroll down to Lafayette jacket which is on offer, with matching trousers, would look classy but understated?

    http://www.planet.co.uk/en/stone-waist-panel-jacket-14375?msg
    Both in the sale at less than half price, and again classy and understated.

    Gutted my favourite shoes are out of stock I have time to wait for them to be back in stock (assuming they will be) but I thought I would see if any of you lovely ladies could find me any alternatives because I have been looking at shoes for ages and can't find any I like enough to buy apart from these lol!

    I am so fussy with shoes because I have hip/knee problems so I don't usually wear heels anymore put I am 5" 8 so don't really need them lol. I need flat or low heel shoes so I am not towering over my OH and don't fall flat on my face walking down the aisle because that is not a good look :P

    hey all just popped in to say thank you for the shoe search, Maysie has now found my shoes for me :D

    Just reminded myself... I am wanting to find a small white veil attached to a hair comb. By small I mean just to cover my eyes and less of a veil and more netting IYKWIM.

    After some research I think a fascinator is a more accurate term. But I dont want a hat as my head is too big, so am not a hat person much to my disappointment.
