...Can I also ask some advice? I'm going to a wedding (never been to a wedding before in my life) and I'm unsure what to wear. I have a smart jacket (black with white pattern) that I was going to wear with a black top. I don't want to wear black trousers with that as it would then feel like a funeral outfit I think. Would these be acceptable at a registry office wedding? https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/p/Grey-Skinny-Fit-Mid-Rise-Jean/130164433-Grey

What is usual for a registry office?

Thanks

Not sure about those...Do you have a white top you could wear with black trousers & your jacket? Maybe with red shoes, bag & clip-in fascinator (look in BHF)?

Kim I agree that unless its a specifically casual wedding, I wouldn't wear jeans. Personally I usually opt for a dress for a wedding but if you don't have one, as has been suggested perhaps your black trousers with the jacket and a brighter top and accessories to match / compliment the colour of the top.

If you don't have a dress, and don't want to wear trousers, what about a skirt / top combo?

Do you have any friends you could perhaps ask to 'shop' in their wardrobes who might have something suitable?

Just popping on for some clothes related sympathy - I've just opened my wardrobe to find that my favourite cardigan - green cashmere - has been eaten by moths - massive holes - not recoverable. I know that in the scheme of things this is not a major tragedy but - I LOVED that cardigan :(:(:(:(

That's it now - moving on.... (with just a small tear in my eye )

Get some cedar wood and/or lavender oil in there, as the moths don't like them.

Tuesday went to ms and bought 4 new vest tops of various kinds. Happy to see that they are so long on the body. Knickers are going back.
Saturday hubby left me in S upon Avon whilst he went to football. Went to one of my favourite shops Wtite C to get a pair of slouchy trouser ( the pair that I bought six years ago have a small hole. Was Also looking for a new jumper for the winter. Had a 20% off voucher. Style adviser showed me around pointing out different tops/jumpers to me. 3 jumpers, 2 tops, a scarf and a pair of slouchy trouser later, I walked out of the shop! Have blown the budget but was replaced a few much used and loved items.

Rowan - I'm hoping that this will prove to be a fabulous fresh start for you. What area are you looking for a therapy centre in? Also - I don't know if this would be of interest to you - but I know an organisation that offers free mentoring to women working in the not-for-profit sector. I had some during the transition period from work to starting my business and found it really helpful. If you're interested let me know & I'll message you the details.[/QUOTE]

Somerandom sorry I thought I had replied to this but mustn't have sent it.

I would be very interested in the mentoring . I have a new job and will probably start early November and it is also in the not for profit sector. It is part time so I can also do some hypnotherapy too - probably in the new year. I'm looking for a lovely therapy cente in Derbyshire to do that from.

I've had another little spend - a Masai dress from the cs for £7 and a Boden cardi from cs for £8. Must add those to my total spends. I am treating myself a bit too much at the moment. Lunch out, books, makeup - it's been stressful at work as lots of folk upset about losing their jobs. I know it is emotional spending and am telling myself to allow this little blip until my new job starts.
