"Proper clothes"

K, so, in about a month me and Rich are winging our way off to Kenya to spend 3 weeks with my dad. But in those three weeks, my daddy has booked us into a "posh hotel" in Mombasa (this one, I believe). He says that I need to buy some "proper clothes" with some money that my mummy is gonna give me out of my savings account that I'm not allowed to touch. What I assume he means is nice posh-dinner clothes. But I have no idea where to start looking. I already know what shoes I want (I blame GWST for this): these ones. But other than that, not the foggiest. You can tell I don't go out to nice places very often >.<.
So, any suggestions would be helpful .

ETA: lovely shoes btw
Bloody do .
That's a good idea though, thank yoooooooooou .
Aren't they just .
Oh, sorry. I'm just going by what I've seen you wear in real life and on photos. Oh, and the hair!!! Not that short hair isn't girly!
But yes, I'm full of ideas I think a pencil skirt would look nice on you :yes: Oh and those shoes are gorgeous. I might buy them myself
As soon as I saw those shoes, I thought "OMG WANT". They have them in red as well .
I have lots of friends like you though but they go to the extremes of refusing to ever wear skirts, dresses, anything pink or even make-up!
Just found this shrug http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_17669_338769_-1(I don't know if you like them so sorry if you don't). The colour would go with those shoes. If you could find a pencil skirt/mid length skirt in a chocolate colour too and find a top that matches the coloured spots on the shoes to go underneath, then I think that would look really nice.
Then you've just gotta sort out your jewellery and handbag
I was looking at the Dotty P's website (I'm far too addicted to that shop ), and I found these things, and I wanna know if you think they'll go with the shoes (I'm SO bad at these things >.<):

(they have matching trousers which I would get as well - I know it's a hot climate but mosquitos are not my friends, particularly when I'm not taking any malaria tablets).
I'm not offended by you thinking I don't do girly, though. I don't do it often, and even then the best I can do is a floaty skirt. I wear mini-skirts sometimes, but I don't suppose they count .
I'm also really bad at handbags, as well (I don't actually own any), so you can help me with that if you want...
I'm so useless ;(.
I'm not sure about the colour of the suit tbh. I tend to stick to matching colours and the colour of that suit isn't in the colour of your shoes.
I'll have a gander around and see if I can find anything that will go with them
I'm so crap at this .
Oh maybe one really nice outfit with an inter-changeable top but thats all you need!!!
Oh and incase Rich is stuck, black pants and a few nice shirts and maybe a tie or two
I don't think you should wear a jacket or a full on suit. I think the shrug is nice tbh Its not too dressed up buts its smart. Wear a nice smart blouse underneath (that matches the spots on your shoes) along with some brown/chocolate trousers.
I've been looking around and there is TONNES of stuff to choose from so don't know what to post. Try looking at the online stores for places like Next, Marks and Spencers, Monsoon, Debenhams, etc for trousers and blouses.
Have a look, post links up here and I'll let you know what I think if you like
Amira is helping me ;d. We have so far found:

Need help on the bag, obviously, and need a couple more tops, but otherwise I think I'm sorted .
There are tonnes of brown bags about. I doubt you'll find it hard to find one.
...just joking!
.
Glad you found something anyways
