hello

i everytime i go outside in barely nothing and there is a horrible cold breeze i panic that i am not going to survive this week!

i'm having a 50's wedding and a short 50's dress but usually in winter am in skinny jeans, ugg boots, a thick jumper, parka, wooly scarf ( doctor who length hehe) and a lovely warm hat!

how the hell am i going to survive in a short knee length dress in the mid of December!

so what can i cover up with?! x

could you get some nice flesh colour tights and maybe a nice fifities style fur jacket for when you're outsite. I saw a lovely one in a wedding shop when they had a winter wedding display on! You wouldn't have to wear the jacket all day, just for when you're outside.. will try to find a pic..

i think these things would look lovely with your 50s dress! which one did you choose by the way?

On Tuesday's episode of Gok's Fashion Fix, he layered a cream trench coat over a 50s style prom dress and belted it at the waist. I reckon that would look amazing for a 50s wedding.

Can't put a direct link up but if you go to http://www.channel4.com/goksfashionfix there is a link to the video of the outfit (called Ice Cream Colours) and an example of the coat. Obviously you could get a cheaper version and use different coloured piping/belt depending on your colour scheme

Alternatively, a fur bolero would be lovely. My mum had a cream one from Coast for my sister's wedding and it looked really nice.

And flesh coloured tights are essential for a winter wedding - M&S do toeless ones if you have peep toe shoes.
