party outfit for an casual outside do - picnic/hog roast/ barn affair

[GretchenWiener]

anyone any tips? There is no heating.
How do you look good and keep warm too?

[GretchenWiener]

anyone?

[MrsLettuce]

Wear summat that you can hide thermals under?

[GretchenWiener]

oh i hadnt thought of that. My thermals are all a bit industrial for watching kids sport

[PestoSurfissimos]

If it's a barn affair, then maybe there will be dancing. In which case I would suggest doing that to keep warm!

[PestoSurfissimos]

Or you may be lucky & there may be a fire pit that you can huddle round

Smart black jeans, smart top

Maxi dress + cardi/jacket

[MrsLettuce]

Well, trew and layers is the wise way in any case. You know this

[kaykayblue]

I'd recommend wearing something that you layer up without look like a homeless person.

For example, you could wear smart skinny/straight leg jeans (so a dark colour basically) with ballet flats (I know they are colder, but they just look smarter!). Then a nice top to go with it for when the sun is shining. But bring with you a woollen cardigan and pashmina that you can add when the temperature starts dropping, and also a winter coat for when it gets actually cold!

[GretchenWiener]

ta- am humming and hawing about shoes

[GretchenWiener]

yes to jeans - its the idea of a wooly or warm top that is odd - all mine are so wintery

[noddyholder]

Skinnies sloppy style light jumper and boots I would add the party element with a nice big scarf and some big earrings too cold for anything else!

[ThisBitchIsResting]

What noddy said. Dark skinnies, light coloured floaty knitted top with a vest underneath, and definitely heeled ankle boots. Lots of makeup and maybe a 'statement necklace'. Don't wear heeled shoes, it'll look try hard and you'll freeze.

And drink lots of wine, that'll keep you warm

[ThisBitchIsResting]

Or could you wear a dress with bare legs and ankle boots - grey suede Jalouse, that kind of thing? Ime if you've got warm feet, the rest of you will be fine.

[ThisBitchIsResting]

These jeans

[ThisBitchIsResting]

And this

[GretchenWiener]

I haven't GOT a sloppy light jumper

[GretchenWiener]

Ta bitch. I don't wear dresses really

[GretchenWiener]

Thd Laura Ashley link doesn't work for me

[GretchenWiener]

Boots jeans necklace all great ta. Just thinking of top

[RonaldMcDonald]

i use alcohol for warmth

[ThisBitchIsResting]

I don't think you need woollies, even outside do you won't be cold in jeans and boots. Just wear a top you like and drink wine.

[OatcakeCravings]

Assuming the party is fairly soon then you won't need any kind of jacket/cardy thing. And you will be far too hot in boots. Though I am from the north of Scotland where any temperature above 14 degrees is summer!

[RonaldMcDonald]

i think you should get your pins out
what about that Gap dress?

[RonaldMcDonald]

found it or a vest/jacket jeans

[GretchenWiener]

Oh id be cold. Was out last night in jeans and linen knit. Was freezing by 11. If feet are warm..,?
