I think I have my wedding outfit

As much as I love the dress I posted on this thread (http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....me-wedding), I had to accept the fact that it's too big for me. My bra shows not only under my armpits but also on the back since the dress doesn't fit as it should. So, I was back to the start, with nothing to wear to the wedding.

I did have my favorite LBD, so I tried to find a jacket for it. I'm not kidding if I say that right now I have five different H&M jackets at home, all of them bought for the same purpose. I think one of them actually works.

I like that it's shorter at the back and longer at the front, and the way it matches the neckline of the dress perfectly. It's got some sparkle, pleather trimmings and lightens up my face since black it's not my color. Also, it doesn't add bulk (hello, fluffy jackets) so I can wear it comfortably under my coat. What do YOU think?

Also, any ideas for jewelry? I want to wear fun earrings, but was thinking maybe a tiara would look cheeky too. I've been wanting to try that since watching Gossip Girl but no event worthy of such a statement came up.

PS: You can see the dress here http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ear-on-nye . I wore it for NYE back in 2011, time does fly by!

Love the outfit. You are right about that jacket...it's perfect. My daughter has worn a tiara on her birthday every year for the last 7 or 8 years (she's 21 now). She has fun with it. It will make you the center of attention though, so unless this is your wedding, you may not want to risk outshining the bride.

Your outfit is lovely. As for jewelry, I might be tempted to wear only a pair of killer earrings so as not to compete with your jacket. As a different option, hair ornamentation would be fab. A full tiara might be a little too much, but a sparkly clip would be just perfect.

That jacket is fabulous with the dress. What a great idea.

I like the idea of the hair ornament. If you can find the right one it will be brilliant. A bit unexpected and interesting.

I like the jacket over the dress. It's a great combination. Is it dressy enough for the wedding though?

I love the proportions - you look so chic! - but I also wondered if the jacket is dressy enough. We can't see the sparkle though so the effect is more sweater-looking. That might just be the photos.
I vote nay on the tiara for a wedding, here it would be the bride wearing one and not to my mind appropriate for a guest.
Are fascinators still stylish? Like a very fancy (with beads, feathers, etc) hair clip/mini hat - I think something like that could look amazing with this outfit.

I like the dress and jacket. Please skip the tiara. I agree that great earrings would make up for it.

Fantastic jacket for the dress- looks like they were made for each other.

I had written a superlong response but lost it to low memory on my phone...

Thank you all for the responses!

The sparkle doesnt show on the photos, but its there!!!! Its part of H&M party wear collection so I think it should be alright. I wont be the fanciest hguest at the party but Im ok with that.

Definitely no to the tiara! Ill save that one for my birthday;)
