You are so right, Rosemary - as always! I'm going for trousers and top in navy, with a rather colourful unstructured, longline jacket in a rather scrumptious Italian silk. The bride loves the silk. So, I think I'm going to go into Nottingham the week after Easter and have a look around. It always surprises me how little I manage to do during school holidays. A list of important 'stuff' accumulates during term-time, and then the holiday is gone before I have even managed half of what I had planned. Ah well, we'll see.....

I must admit I would prefer a hat to a fascinator. A hat is a little more substantial, and I can't really see myself with something frivolously frilly and feathery stuck on top of my short grey hair. But I keep an open mind and will try anything. If all fails I'll go 'hatless' or I'll borrow your rabbit hat for the occation.

What about the rest of the outfit? personally I like hats as a way of finishing off special occasion outfits, however the fascinators are a nice alternative, although, for you, you would really need to work out the scale and style that would work for you. I would love to come & help you but am uncertain if we could manage to co-ordinate ourselves sufficently. I would suggest you nip down to the JLP in Nottingham and have a good 'play' in their hat dept, to see if any particular style feels good on.
