I have been invited to a very fancy dinner at a very fancy restaurant in london by a doctor friend of mine turned model married to rich banker.

I am in a MASSIVE stress about what to wear, i cannot afford luxurious designer clothes but I obviously cannot turn up in a pair of H&M jeans!

The shoes are sorted… they look like this ANKLE STRAP SANDAL - Shoes - Woman - ZARA United Kingdom

but what can i wear??? arghhh say I have a budget of £50-60??

help girls!

Does this particular banker work for Societe Generale? As an investment banker in the M&A division?

First tell me that you're not going to be wearing tights or leggings with these shoes? I'm trying to envisage them with something other than a dress but I can't.

There can be tons of options but it depends on your dress code.
A short lace black dress will be very classy or a wrap dress.

Safari shirt dress | Banana Republic

Gemma wrap dress | Banana Republic
Or a pencil skirt with a fabulous blouse.
You can do a fitted cropped trouser but then open shoes don’t go with those.You will need high heel pumps with trouser.

i like the jumpsuit a lot too (and those shoes are for it) but i'm not sure if it's the right event for it.

i was thinking about black cigarette trousers but i can't picture them with these shoes easily. in which case, i'd try them out together if you can get some. milly told me she takes shoes with her. i buy, try at home then return if not suitable. the cropped pants like above would show off the shoes better.
