You're not the bride or the bridesmaid, so you're worried you might be overdressed to a wedding.

Point is, you still want to look fab – just not so fab that people might notice you more than the bride. So don't do that, please.

The key to looking like you nailed your attire as a guest to keep to muted tones if you're going for an exaggerated silhouette (like puffy sleeves) or if you choose a bright colour, then you would want something more streamlined and minimalist.

And, you want to pick a dress that you can wear to the office, for a weekend brunch or dinner date – nothing too costly but gives you the mileage you want.

Sounds impossible? Well, here are eight reasons to love us cos we've got your shopping sorted. Scroll down for the prettiest fits under $300.
