oh God at trendy - muttonesque? I know I'm not old at 32 (don't DARE argue) but they're all younger than me and I don't want to look like an old granny trying to look young

Sounds great. Just right.

I'm looking for a top to wear with some shorts. They're black and short!
To wear with heels.

I'm 28 size 10-12 and 5'7 ish.
Any ideas??

MamaG. 32 is NOT OLD!!! Sounds like a great outfit, I'd wear it, and I'm 34, so well over the hill... LOL

jeans are

bootcut
mid colour blue
sparkly bits on back pockets


bootcut are the fit for me, without a doubt

the sparkly bits add a bit of excitement
have had them a year now, but not worn much

(cringe at me taking a brolly - very uncool of me!)

Ooops, just read we aren't meant to argue about whether 32 is old or not. Bet they all want to look sophisticated like you.

I always take plasters out with me in case my shoes (or any of my friends shoes) rub!!

I went to Primark today and got some tops but only saw nice day ones. Not evening wear. I'll look in RI
