I'm Currently Feeling:  |  I can't decide... Update!
I'm having a clothing dilemma. I have to go to a festival for a week in Sept for work and there is a fancy dinner. I'd totally forgotten about this and it is formal wear so I have to buy something new. MY sister gave me a black dress, cross over at the front, empire line with a ribbon, and just below the knee in length. But the dip at the front shows my bra and I really don't want to get a new bra just for this, and it's a bit big and generally not a great fit.
So.... I have narrowed it down to some choices of dress or fancy top (I have trousers). The advantage of a top and trousers is that it takes away the issue of me having no decent shoes to wear with a a dress as I can just wear boots.
Can you help me decide? I might not follow your advice (lol) but it might help me narrow it down!
Here are the choices:
1) Crepe dress: http://www.laredoute.co.uk/style/COC...513325&source=
2) Lilac dress: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/st...1027&langId=-1
3) Blue top: http://www.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=G70...6nb%3d%26np%3d
4) Black top: http://www.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=G70...6nb%3d%26np%3d
I hope all the links work!
EDIT: So I've ordered both the lilac dress AND the black top! lol Couldn't try them on as no local shops have them in stock, I'll let you know if they look good! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I like the crepe black dress, you cant go wrong with a black dress and you can dress it up with a belt and some jewellery if it needs it. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I had a very tough choice between the blue and black top but went for the black in the end as it looked a little fancier. The dresses were nice but not my style so thats why I didn't go for them. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Thanks girls! I really wanted a dress but I have such shoes issues!
Whatever I get I'll wear with my black velvet spencer jacket which luckily still fits about my enlarged bosom! |
