Fashion moneysaving thread - Dressed up or Down - Everyone Welcome!! (Part 4)

I'm hoping you fashion girlies might be able to help me . I've been invited to an informal wedding reception which is being held at a bar. As I'm not normally much of a fashion/wedding/bar person, I'm a bit confused as to what I should be wearing. Any suggestions please

ETA: I've got a green cowl neck top similar to this http://www.coast-stores.com/CARMELLA-COWL/All-Tops/coast/fcp-product/2354628380 that I've never worn which might be appropriate, but what to put it with?

Thanks for the kind words cat people, I am looking forward to properly meeting them, I'm sure that will help

How about A pencil or fish-tail skirt, if the top is green maybe a navy blue or a black with polkadot print?
Maybe a necklace of similar coloured beads to the skirt, and a big cocktail ring?

Oh, that top is gorgeous - v slinky. I agree with PF - a pencil skirt would be lovely, with a pair of heels and some striking jewellery. xx

Eek, I don't think i've worn a skirt since secondary school and that was in the 1980s :eek:. I'm not a very girly girl and tend to live in jeans and tees, wear a uniform to work, and the only heels I own are on boots. I bought that top on an impulse but have never had the courage or fashion sense to wear it . Dare I step out of my comfort zone?

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!
This morning I wore dark blue jeans from red herring, which I argued with as have lost weight and they were baggy and had to hold up with belt on tightest setting! Had a few stomach bugs lately And didn't really need to lose to begin with also wore dark grey long tee with little sequins on sleeves and a black knitted batwing Cardigan, very old black boots from shoezone. Then had to go to work and wear ghastly White tunic and unflattering navy trousers

Mto in that case how about A pair of tailored trousers, some high waited ones maybe? A big statement necklace and a pair of boots you don't want to step too far out of your comfort zone or you'll end up feeling uncomfortable about yourself and not enjoy your evening!

Anyone know where I can get spirit gum from (and a remover) or otherwise if it'd be safe enough to use eyelash glue on your skin, I'm assuming it must be. Hmm.

I would say so PF - I doubt you could put it on a more delicate area (or would want to!)

I know MAC Duo is for eyelashes and body decoration.

Haha, don't panic, not for any dodgy reason - i'm thinking halloween!

Having never used false eyelashes, how does one remove them? Is there a glue remover you can also purchase? Think I need to go to boots today!
