Help me accessories this dress

Flying out tonight for a weekend trip that includes a wedding, with a personal item only so can't pack multiple options. I need to add a belt + bag (necklace has been decided already).

Also worried the shoes might be too much (alternate shoe option will be in the comments, but those ones are a bit too big on me so don't look as nice).

better pictures of belts in comments! edit: also better photo of the sparkly shoes

The rhinestones are VERY sparkly.

The wedding is a church wedding at 3pm in the northeast US, with a cocktail hour and reception at 6pm. Dress code: semi-formal/cocktail, "we want you to feel comfortable.

Edit: the shoes are a darker/richer gold and it's obvious in low light despite the rhinestones and the handbag with rhinestones is a lighter gold but for some reason it's not super obvious in the photos.

Uber availability late-night between Wilmington and Newark?

How much availability would there be for Uber/Lyft late at night (around 1:30am) on a Saturday night/Sunday morning?

(Context: I'm travelling from Philly to Newark late at night on a Saturday. I can take a late (1:50am) FlixBus that stops in Newark or an earlier (12:44am) Greyhound which stops only in Wilmington and not in Newark, or take public transit to the airport and Uber from there (done this before, know Uber will be available but pricey). Trying to decide what the best option would be!)

Instagram tracking web browsing even with privacy settings?

My Instagram privacy settings are set as private as possible within the bounds Meta allows. I have uBlock and Privacy Badger enabled. But Instagram will still show me ads from searches from Firefox private mode like 2 seconds later.

(For example, I was looking up a specific tool in private browsing mode and I'm suddenly getting ads for that same tool on Instagram.)

Is there any way at all to prevent them from tracking me except to delete my account and the app?

Should I stay in Kingsessing when travelling?

I have tried the threads on r/Philadelphia for this before posting here I promise, just without success!

I'm coming to Philly next month and have a safety question: is the area between 47th & 55th St, southeast of Chester, okay at night for a young woman?

I've lived in some pretty rough neighborhoods and normally would not be concerned, but there are several confounding factors:

I'm travelling for a wedding, would get back to where I'm staying with the last commuter rail on a Saturday night (around 11pm). It's a 5-10 min walk from the station, and I'll bring a jacket and a foldeable tote to cover my clothes a bit and put my purse in but I'll still be wearing identifiably nice clothes
I look much younger than I am (I look like I'm in my late teens/early 20s), and am South Asian woman
I've been to Philly a few times before but only ever stayed in the Center City area, it's just not in my budget rn

I'd be in Newark the next day, just wondering if it's worth it to stay in the city or if I should just hang around in the Dave & Buster's and take the late Greyhound back to Newark instead.

(Previously posted about an option I had in my closet but looks like it will not work.)

I'm looking for a dress or jumpsuit, ideally a jumpsuit, that will match one of these bags; I really need to carry a big bag and these are my options. I have a couple of blue dresses I picked up at Nordstrom Rack and a dress I ordered online that I'll post when everything has arrived, but I'm also looking for something that matches the purple bag that I can order online and which will arrive in the next week and a half (so not Azazie). I haven't had any luck looking so far--everything I've found is too casual, too formal, or just plain bad quality.

I like purple bag better, it looks dressier, it's roomier, and it's more comfortable to wear for long periods of time if necessary, plus it zips better for public transit.

The wedding is a church wedding at 3pm in the northeast US in late May, with a cocktail hour and reception at 6pm. Dress code: semi-formal/cocktail, "we want you to feel comfortable"

Budget is under $60-75, ideally, but I can go up to $150 if it's something that's good quality, with good sewing and material. I have a purple pashmina I can use to cover up cleavage and shoulders for the church part.

Tl;dr: looking for an outfit that goes well with the purple bag and will arrive quickly for a semi-formal/cocktail wedding, no luck so far

Edit: I looked at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Lulus, and in-person at a couple of stores. The only options that kinda work are this and this, but they're both brands which I know look super unflattering on me, and the second one is too casual imo.

Edit 2: a more detailed explanation of why I need a big bag: https://www.reddit.com/r/Weddingattireapproval/comments/1st8eig/are_these_bags_too_bigcasual/ but tl;dr: using public transit and it's a bit of a hike each way, + big gap between the ceremony and reception. No comments/arguments about the bag please!

I'm looking for a gym which has regular cardio and weight training equipment (rowing machine, kettlebells, barbells, dumbbells, and a pool). Ideally also mat pilates and yoga classes. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

The catch is where I am now has access to all of the above it's just super crowded, so for it to make sense financially I'd have to pay less than $500 a year (i.e. $40/month). I know it's super unlikely I'll find what I want, but checking just in case.

Would also need to be accessible by Metro, ideally somewhere in the Grove/Gables area.

Hope this is okay to post here, if not I'll delete! I'm going to a wedding about three weeks from now, and I stupidly booked my ticket with Spirit. Now I can't find a ticket that isn't ~$100 more and I can't really afford to spend that extra money. Would it be a horrible breach of etiquette to cancel this close to the time?

Relevant info: I'm one of the groom's old coworkers, we're friends but not super close (I was in the second round of wedding invites). I would offer to pay for the cost of the plate if I cancel.

Edit: the wedding is in the Northeast in the US.

edit 2: the RSVP deadline was a while ago and they've sent the numbers over to the caterer if that changes things

edit 3: found a flight at an airport the next city over (40 mins away by train) so crisis averted, thank you all!
