Dh and I are going out with two other couple in a few weeks to a nice pub on the river, this will be the first time we have been out without children/as a family in 16 years! I am have no idea what to wear, non at all I am completely out of touch. I would normally wear jeans and a basic Next v-neck T-shirt as we would be doing something kid oriented. The pub has a smart casual dress code (whatever that means) and strictly no sports wear. So please could someone with a sense of fashion help me out. I am short at 5ft2 a size 10 but sometimes an 8 from places like Next. I have money to spend but just have no idea what to buy, I don’t want to turn up and look ridiculous and I am starting to consider telling dh I don’t want to go.

Summer dress, denim jacket and chunky sandals.

Congrats and don't drop out! You deserve to look fabulous and enjoy. You are similar size to me so options I'd go for include 1) knee length colourful wrap dress with boots (flat or heels) 2) wide trousers with a fitted tucked in top, such as a fine ribbed tank and nice jewellery 3) colourful wide-leg but fitted top jumpsuit. Shops to look at include And other stories; ted baker; anthropologie; reiss; Oliver bonas; me & em; warehouse; sezane.

Have a wonderful time! Wear a colourful summer dress, white jacket / cardigan and either open toed sandals or white trainers
