I am going to a Do. You may have picked up on the fact that I don't generally do dressy.
On the plus side, I have my birds top - this one:
However, it is blue, and my only posh skirt is black. I clearly need to either buy some dressy blue trousers, or buy/make a skirt.
The biggest problem is the matching up of navy blues. The top is not as dark as it appears in the picture, and I can't imagine how I could possibly get a match buying online - and that's the only option. I have no time to get samples, because The Do is a fortnight tomorrow.
So. Has anyone got any ideas about how to match them? I can't imagine a patterned fabric that would go with the top, but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love you forever.
Maybe I should leave the birds top and make a top to go with my black skirt. I could probably do that from stash. I do love my black skirt (black smooth crepey stuff, flowy with sparkly bits), but I really want to wear my prize-winning birds top.
Either way, I'm going to need shoes. Online again. EEE fit, with small heels that I won't fall off (not kitten heels, much as I would love them. I would break an ankle.)
Oh dear.
