I love Karen Millen but not keen on this.
But if you like it, go for it.

gegs73 · 26/02/2023 21:22

If you’ve got the legs I say go for it! If you like it and feel great in it, I’d definitely wear it.

PatientlyWaiting21 · 26/02/2023 21:23

That’s gorgeous, go for it!

Should add...being taken to a posh cocktails/champagne bar....would be completely appropriate for a 30 year old in this place.

Thing is, I love it, I love how it looks and its really comfortable but am I too old?

Not at all, there’s no age limit, wear what you like and feel comfortable in!

JudgeRudy · 26/02/2023 21:24

It's not my style but if you want to wear it go for it. I'm middle aged and keep getting told that 'flesh coloured tights' are a definite fashion faux pa's and really 'frumpy', even very sheer ones. I think you d need pretty good legs to carry this off in terms of size, shape and skin.
I also wonder if you're quite small that the outfit will look 'lumpy' or 'bunched up'. I'm not sure I'd want to wear it to sit down in most of the evening. Will you be walking, mingling, dancing? It kinda looses itself if you're seated

Gosh - it is pretty tacky - sorry! But if you like it, you wear it. I am guessing that it is reduced for a reason ...........

Rude! Or reduced maybe because it was part of the Winter fashion season?

Salome61 · 26/02/2023 21:26

Do show your skin while you can, and enjoy your birthday. I think the shoes look really uncomfortable, go to Schuh or Office and try some on.

WhamBamEatYourSpam · 26/02/2023 21:26

Go for it OP! You seem to have the confidence and definitely the figure for it!

Also please DO NOT wear it with a blazer or ankle boots as others have suggested! This is a party outfit - Wear heels!!

Newnamefornewyear2023 · 26/02/2023 21:27

The shoes will destroy your feet. I think it’s a bit short tbh. I’m in my early 40s and I wouldn’t wear it myself (im
slim but would feel self conscious as it’s short) but if you feel fabulous in it then you should go for it

Englishash · 26/02/2023 21:28

Please don't wear this. It looks tacky and tarty. Too much on show.

The shoes.....I'll be fine I wear shoes like that all the time.

And how is there too much on show? It would literally be legs (and not as much as the model, it is lower down the leg as I am much shorter than her) and I have no boobs to be falling out all over the place.

Explain "Tarty" please.

It's fabulous! Agree with PP though about the shoes - heeled ankle boots would be much better.

ImAGoodPerson · 26/02/2023 21:30

Love the outfit, I wouldn't wear silver shoes with it though. Totally fine for 50 if you have the figure for it, which you clearly have. I am mid 40s and have worn similar and always been complimented on it.

I'm middle aged and keep getting told that 'flesh coloured tights' are a definite fashion faux pa's and really 'frumpy', even very sheer ones.
I think Kate Middleton wears flesh coloured tights, I know she is considered frumpy by some, but it may be worth looking a bit frumpy to get a put together and sleek leg look with such short shorts. Also a bit warmer on the way home!
Happy birthday.

Nolosomi · 26/02/2023 21:31

I think you’ll look fabulous!!

MysteryBelle · 26/02/2023 21:31

I love the outfit. Wear it! Enjoy dressing up. Not crazy about the shoes. They don’t look exactly right and look inexpensive and just a bit over the top, I would wear different shoes.

Purplecatshopaholic · 26/02/2023 21:32

Similar age and size to you - age is just a number! Love the play suite- go for it.

Findyourneutralspace · 26/02/2023 21:32

I wouldn’t let age stand in your way! If it’s good enough for Kylie…. 😍

Orangetapemeasure · 26/02/2023 21:32

Go for it! It’s a fabulous outfit and I’m taking inspiration from you OP for my 50th in 3 years.

cornflakegeneration · 26/02/2023 21:32

Please wear this. It's fab and age is just a number. If you look good and feel good that's all that matters.

Not keen on the shoes though sorry.

Did that make you feel better about yourself?

Purplecatshopaholic · 26/02/2023 21:32

Play suit…bloody autocorrect, lol

shouldhavetakenmorenotice · 26/02/2023 21:32

Love the play suit but go for nude or contrast to silver shoes

ChefsSalad · 26/02/2023 21:33

Playsuit is a definite yes. Shoes are too-but-not-quite-matchy and look cheap. They'll date the outfit and you.

This - more contemporary
