I need outfit help, and I want to give all the info

I’m going to a surprise birthday brunch on Sunday.
The person I’d usually ask is the birthday girl. It’s a nice restaurant, but not super fancy or anything. I know the group of people I’ll be with do tend to dress a bit nicer.
I’ve been shopping for this outfit like 3 times, and I’m frustrated at this point.
Here’s the option I want to work, BUT the coverup is bright white, and the rest of the outfit is cream/brown. The second person I asked said to wear this outfit, but I really don’t think it goes well together.
I am considering attempting to change the color of the cover up. Either with a clothing dye or even staining it with tea. But I don’t want to accidentally ruin it, and not be able to wear it at all.

When I asked my backup fashion person, she said I should wear this outfit: (ignore the stain on my bralette, I dug it out of my laundry hamper and I will wash it)

This to me feels too beachy or something? Also, I don’t mind having my arms, midriff, or legs on display when it’s like one of them, but this shows all 3 and I feel like maybe it’s too much.

I really don’t want to wear the white with the cream.
Do you think I should
-attempt to dye the coverup to some sort of off-white
-wear the white outfit
-scrap it all and try shopping again
I don’t have time to order something and not be worried it would show up on time.

@HijabaDabbaDoo that’s what someone else told me, and I just don’t like it like that 😣

@itsok well, confidence works better above all else. You wear your clothes, they don't wear you. The other options aren't ugly. Dyeing it does like a risk tho.

I think the white and the cream go fine together it creates a nice layering effect.
