To ask mumsnet to help me find an outfit !?

[sal1223]

Long story short - going out in a couple weeks for dinner & cocktails and haven't been out for 3 years ! Been busy with kids and lockdown etc , and I'm getting divorced after 15 years 🥳 I have NOTHING to wear - I live in old band tee's and skinny jeans . To give you an idea I'm Size 18 (but weight dropping off since I left the bastard) newly dyed white blonde hair, tanned, nose ring and a couple tats
Everything I've looked at is either too young / too fitted or too revealing . Would love some suggestions ❤️

What colours syit you beat and what bits of your body do you like best?

Black/denim and I'm not really keen of any of my body yet - hate my arms so they have to be at least 3/4 length x

Can I follow.your post as also.need an outfit idea for.an up and coming night out/party.

I know boohoo has ethical issues but I do find their plus collection quite flattering

Mint velvet? They do grown up casual woman look. Not trying too hard, black and denim with funky twists

Thanks will have a look x

I’ve just bought a lovely dress with 3/4 floaty sleeves from joanie.co.uk hasn’t arrived yet but I’m hopeful! I also had a lovely linen dress arrive from very and am pleasantly surprised- good arm coverage

Check out Roman originals. They have some great occasion wear.

Have just bought this in black and also denim, looks great with ankle boots and messy hair/lots of eyeliner!

@weaselish LOVE this ! But not sure I could pull it off being my size . I'm 20lbs down in 3 weeks tho 🥳 this one will go on my slim list x

By the way lots of inexpensive outfits on Shein and mostly not bad quality

@Mummylovesmonkeys wow love that ! I forgot about Shein, I've ordered a couple of bits ages ago but got the sizing all wrong - went bigger thinking they'll be skimpy on fabric coz it's cheap

The black lace dress on Roman, linked by @poppy2021 is gorgeous
