The coat will give you that extra layer when you're in a cold church, and looks more contemporary than a pashmina or cardigan.
And you can lose it once the dancing starts!
The coat, by Helene Berman London, is reduced from £189 to £125 at Asos. I love the drama it has, and the statement sleeves.
I partnered it with a fairly simple pink sleeveless cotton summer dress from Bonmarché* (sold out). The dress is a simple design but gives a good shape. I used white accessories: a white bow bag from Asos (pold out), white perspex heeled sandals (Marks and Spencer past season) and large faux pearls.

I think a statement covering is essential!! There are so many places that the A/C is too cold or the weather is unpredictable!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous Gail!

Agree with you Jodie - particularly as our weather can't decide if it's coming or going!
DeleteThank you ladies - it is a beaut, my only fear is that statement sleeves may disappear without trace in a couple of months so it could be very old-hat by next year.
ReplyDeleteOkay I NEED those shoes! :). Thanks for linking up with Fun Fashion Friday!

Super wedding outfit, Gail, and that dress is fabulous on its own too. You have a lovely figure which the dress showcases perfectly! Love the shoes. Hope you enjoyed the wedding
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Mary!
DeleteI love the double cuff on the coat! I would definatley buy that for a special event so long as I know the grandchildren weren't going to be around with their little fingers! xx

I love what you are wearing - it looks so effortless, I never find these things in the shops (I must be looking in the wrong parts of Glasgow :) ). You look wonderful
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in this dress. Adding the duster makes the look perfect for an afternoon wedding. Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style.
