Rubbish at clothes shopping

mummyroysof3

I am not very good at picking outfits to go out in and have a wedding to go to in a couple of weeks. It's my husbands family and I get on we'll with them and they said I can wear what ever I want. I have bought a purple and black top but not sure what to wear on bottom half or on my feet. I think cropped leggings or black trousers and black flat saddles but then that's a lot of black argh help

Why not be cheeky go to a big department store and ask for help. Lots have personal shoppers. Pick their brain's and ideas then go to the high street. You can get something just as good for a fraction of the cost.

I would highly recommend the John Lewis Personal Shopper service.

I used them in the past and have been great.

Personally I would say black leggings are a no for a wedding, definitely proper trousers

You'll definitely be noticed wearing black flat saddles. :rotfl::rotfl:

I agree that leggings aren't really wedding wear.

No offence meant but I don't think leggings are suitable wedding attire. You can't really go wrong with black trousers, but they are a very safe bet.

Is the top available to buy online? If so you could share a pic with us to get more ideas.

Depending on the weather, what you like to wear & your budget, you could buy shoes or sandals, either black, purple that matches your top or something sparkly/silver.

I know it is much more money, but I would go for this if I had the figure

That's pretty, can you not wear it as a dress like it's supposed to be, with some strappy black sandals?

mummyroysof3

It doesn't cover my bum fully lol I think if I wear it with black trousers I could get some purple shoes but I do have 2 black pairs that would look ok but aren't comfy to wear all that time tbh

Could you not have white trousers?
