help getting dressed
Saturday, May 12th, 2012 | tags: hats, Kilt, mumzie, Tiger, wardrobe, wedding |Mumsie helped with my wedding outfit decisions. What goes with my fabulous new Royal Stewart tartan kilt:
- Sox or stockings? Stockings – Mumsie didn’t think it was good form to reveal my bare knees to strangers. I take after Dad in the knee department, he once won a nobbly-knees contest
- Red or Black stockings? Black stockings – Mumsie felt it would be ok to wear black to a wedding nowadays. The colour is no longer reserved for mourning. Several wedding guests were dressed completely in black. Tiger, who was actually in mourning wore a black shirt. One guest wore a white lace dress, risking a clash with the Bride’s outfit
- Red or Black shoes? Red shoes – Celebratory flatties for lots of jigging on the post-vows disco dancefloor
- White or Black shirt? White shirt
- Leather or velvet jacket? Leather jacket
- Hat or no hat – No hat!!!!!! No-one at the wedding wore a hat. 4 women were sporting fascinators at the ceremony, but no hats or tiarras. A trend that’s changed dramatically in my wedding-going career
