I was a winter bridesmaid.

I had a gorgeous dress that I plan to wear again some day (when the baby weight has gone). But it wasn’t warm and the wedding was in December. In Yorkshire. While I’m a native of the county I’ve been in the south since I was 8 and I think my skin has lost the layer of toughness required to pull off the no sleeves past November look.
So after the ceremony I pulled on my cardi.
But can you be luscious in long(ish) sleeves? Here are a few of our favourite looks.
Orla Kiely Red Elm Dress from People Tree, £75
Neu Aura Vegan Elm Pointed Heeled Court Shoe from Fashion-Conscience.com, £98
Fair Trade Earrings - Painted Tutuma Gourd from RetailersRaum
Twigy Floral Print Dress from Fashion-Conscience.com, £49 (in sale)
Handspun Ethiopian Silk Cocoon Scarf in natural white from Creative Contrast, $219 (free worldwide shipping)

Eliza Wrap Dress in antique gold from Nancy Dee, £78

I couldn’t resist including these two glam but warm Nancy Dee dresses too – the Faye empire line dress in Chinese blue (£78) and the Vashty vintage-inspired dress in antique gold (£76).
