Ok its February and its cold. That's the first thing I thought when mentally going through my wardrobe looking for something to wear to two weddings at the end of this month.
Apparently hem lines are dropping in the world of fashion but I prefer to let the bride trail her hard earned pounds (or hundreds of pounds in most cases) across the floor as my preference for above the knee designs allows for more movement on the dancefloor. With my Fish, there will be plenty of that!
Saying that, there is a thin line between an elegant wedding outfit and a all out party outfit so if you like Lipsy, I'd advise you to tread quite carefully!
Generally, my only rule is to avoid black or wearing the same colour as the bride - which isn't always white these days... Ok you can wear black but its gloomy enough already out there...
Since most places are still having sales I'd take advantage of them and try places usually out of your (financial) reach. Case in point, why spend £50 on an ordinary full priced Topshop dress when you can spend the same amount on a Jaeger piece reduced by £100 in the sale?!
I have also been asked by a reader to suggest dresses so here are a few of my faves!
Let me know what you think :)
PS - just remembered why I wanted to be a model - yeah the whole travel thing is great but more importantly: clothes, glorious, clothes!!!
