Help me dress for a wedding on Friday

Since I've gained weight, I don't have many dresses that fit right now.  I have a wedding to go to on Friday and I might try to buy a whole new dress at that resale shop I like so much, but I'd rather reuse something I already own.

These two dresses still fit, but they seem too "summery" and I don't know if I can "winterize" them.

I also have this skirt, which I could wear with my black knee-high boots, but I'm unsure of a top that would work with it.  In case you can't tell, it's calf length, pleated, gray, has white pinstripes, and a black chifon ruffle at the bottom.

Any suggestions?

  • I'm not help in this department, I just wanted to tell you that you are gorgeous.

  • I don't have very many suggestions for winterizing your dresses, but I wanted to say I love that grey skirt!!    I could see pairing it a halter top like this, or something similar:

    I have a royal purple shirt that has the same lines as this, but ties in a big bow at the side of the neck rather than being a halter.  Do you think that would work?

    This is a great idea and I already have all of these things in my closet!  I'll try it together tonight.  Thanks!

    I think it would look good with grey!     I would just add some sort of colored top to contrast the grey, and purple would be just fine, I say.
