I'm so out of touch it's actually quite embarrassing.

I have nothing nice to wear Sad I can get to house of fraiser tomorrow, oh & I need shoes to match the outfit which will dent the budget.

Spending around £100?

What's the plan for the evening? Dinner? Drinks? Any idea of venue?

We are going by train at 4.30pm & then I am hoping we will grab something to eat & we are then drinking in a bar, amber something that has 3 floors with 70's 80's & 90's music.

I'm thinking kegging, boots & then a nice funky top must cover my bum or I could wear skinny black jeans & then buy new shoes & top.

French Connection have some nice dresses in their sale (I think you are v slim iirc?) which might do. It's too hot for boots!

this boden top is really nice and very glam for a night out but feels comfy and easy to wear. I have the graphite. Looks great with dark jeans and heels. And you don't need any jewellery with it!

Yes Remus although I wouldn't say V.Slim. size 8 on the top half.

I would prefer to buy from House of fraiser vouchers if possible.

Are boots a no go then? I'm not really a dress & heels buyer unless they were really V.nice.

Sorry - I ignored your bit about House Of Fraser!

Do you like blacks/greys etc or are you a more colourful being?

Boots - its a heatwave - you will boil.

With a £100 - I'd stick with your existing jeans and look for a pretty blouse - whistles have lovely ones or reiss and then get some nice shoes.

This is lovely irl if you have good legs (I'm too fat old for it now, sadly).

That is nice Remus but I would never be brave enough to wear it Blush I am tall & slim but I'm also a little bit body conscious. I think new shoes & new top with my leggings or black jeans.

Am I going to look a frump in my leggings?

I also only own a mummy bag, I can't take my mummy bag for just my purse & phone!!

I'd go with the jeans, not the leggings. What shape are the jeans?
