Claire asks :
Im going to a wedding in august, daytime and evening and need an outfit, i dont want to spend a fortune on something that will just sit in my wardrobe after wearing it once, i would like something that i could wear again but is not going to have gone out of fashion within 6 months, i only have a budget of £150.00 to get the whole of my outfit, any ideas please?Female First replies
If you're looking for an outfit to use for a formal event but want to get your money's worth then you cannot go wrong with a jumpsuit.
I recommend looking on Asos for an outfit as there is so much choice depending on your size, shape, style and it's all there in one easy platform.
Try to go for a sheer material as it is more dressy and opens up to the idea of different colours - there is a great corset effect jumpsuit for £65 in cream or an amazing one shouldered, pink number that looks perfect for wedding day/night and to be carried through the whole season.
This is also the perfect balance between looking and feeling great and standing out from the masses in the millions of photographs taken throughout the day!
Another option is to go maxi dress. But try to stay away from the predictable floral print that is taking over the fashion scene at the moment.Reiss is a great shop to find evening dresses, and one stood out as the perfect wedding guest dress: An across the chest, slim, emerald green maxi called ALYSSA that was very sophisticated and versatile. For £149, you're getting quality and options. Emerald can be worn at any time of the year and depending on the occassion, wear a fascination and a throw for the wedding and a loose weave knit for evening wear/restraunts.
