Dear Didi,
I am 50, 5’4″ and 190 lbs. Very apple shaped. Heavy on bottom NOT on top. My niece’s wedding is in June. It is an outside event. I would call her style shabby chic. Her colors are Navy and Coral Cream. She has asked me to read a poem for her at the ceremony. Which I am Very honored to be asked to do. She means a great deal to me. However I DO NOT want to shame or embarrass her in any way with my attire. Can you Help me please with what to wear?

Dear L.C.,
Since you will be standing up behind the podium or reading from the pulpit, the top is the important element of clothing. I’m a big fan of the special occasion tailored silk jacket, which you could wear with a simple black or navy blue knee-length skirt. Since I don’t know the formality or time of the ceremony, this is a rather general
answer. Go to Maria Pucci’s site www.Maria-Pucci.com
