The excellent thing was that it only took one shop. On Saturday DC and I went into town about midday to look for outfits. DC had already seen a jacket in Next that he liked, so off we popped and he chose his outfit in ten minutes... jacket, shirt, tie, and shoes! I was more than impressed; it usually takes a whole day of following him around the shops, and then around again the same shops, to look for an outfit before leaving empty handed.
This is DC in his outfit however the photo doesn't do him justice! The jacket is a perfect fit and I love it; it's not a suit jacket material but a bit thicker, about half way towards tweed.
After DC was happy with his outfit I had a quick browse in River Island for a dress, and realised that I hadn't planned this trip into town and that I had absolutely no idea what kind of dress I wanted to buy. We popped into Topshop and as soon as we went downstairs I clocked my eye on this dress and knew it would be perfect.

DC told me straight away that he didn't like it. I don't know whether it was the purple, the bright pattern, or probably the mixture of both but he wasn't keen on it at all. But of course, DC not liking something doesn't stop me from going for it...!
I fell in love with it the moment I tried it on, and even more so when I got home. (Excuse the bin in the background!) It's gorgeously bright and perfect for the wedding; there's several reviews of it on Topshop.com from ladies who have also brought it for a wedding.
It's the perfect skater dress shape for my shape and it's so flattering. I love the material and I'm so excited now for 4 May - finally I have a dress for the wedding, and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be!
