watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:32

thats way overdressed to the cinema.

gok hasnt a clue. lol

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 18:33

Well you definitely don't want to be all done up like a night at the Oscars watch. Stop fretting, you'll be fine :o

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:34

i could do that, i would have done skinnies and biker boots... its my day to day look. and statement rings and a braclet ( no other jewlery)

MsArsebiscuit · 16/01/2013 18:35

I saw the Gok thing. I thought it was a bit silly.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:37

I have a great pair of clog boots that give height and look casual/funky..I reckon though from what you are describing as your usual dress code you will be a good match and suit the occasion. Fret not!

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:39

See I would wear the leopard coat...I have worn similar to college...not a problem

JulietteMontague · 16/01/2013 18:39

Watch of course he didn't, it wasn't about him, was it. Apparently I played it cool so he responded the same. That went well. Angry

Just wear whatever you feel good in. Shove the jewellery on, and then take that last piece off (I can't remember whose advice that is but its good stuff). I also have lovely clothes but I'm a size up at the moment, even when double spanxed Grin

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 18:43

Juliette - shifting the blame on to you - bullshit, total bullshit, he just accept he's a selfish twat.

As often heard on MN, I believe the term is 'disengage'

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 18:43

just can't* accept he's a selfish twat even

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:54

that it bullshit. clearly its your fault Hmm
i only ever wear two bitsof jewwlery anyway, they just tend to be sizeable peices. Delicate and sublet is not me....

anyway, a quick try on and ive decided
Boyfriend jeans ( found at back of wardrobe, fit last time i was fat, are depressingly tight....)
Timberland type boots.

Black, cowl neck top, which is exceedinly low cut, and flashes an lot of boob.
wine coloured boyfriend cardigan.

Scruffy, casual. get away with the boob-ness because the rest is so dressed down.
and hopefully the boobs ( in the most pushyup, stick them out type bra will distract his eyes from the tummy below.

does that sound ok?

i wear the leopard print coat all the time, ive worn it to the school gates.... but i wonder if drawing attention to myself is the best thing to do n a first date......

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:55

oh my god, my tping is terrible right now. im so sorry....

bloody hell.
sorry for the typus

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 18:58

Sounds great to me watch, boobness sounds fine with everything else covered and casual.

I don't think I would go for the coat though that sounds more of a glam thing

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:59

I love a cowl neck, never got on with boyfriend jeans though...

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:59

ok black blazer???

ike1 · 16/01/2013 19:01

Is the cardigan instead of the coat?

VelvetSpoon · 16/01/2013 19:03

The talk of clothes has drawn me back like a moth to a flame :)

Watch, wear what you feel comfortable in. And that's not just what fits, but what you feel works. I don't think skinnies, (or any jeans in fact) and boots is a combo that can be beaten to be honest!

There is nothing going on for me that is worth talking about, other than that I am at a different office this week and working with an old friend and colleague, who is lovely, but I know isn't interested in me in that way like most men.

As you were.... :)

JulietteMontague · 16/01/2013 19:05

Watch yep, all good but leave the coat if doing the cleavage.

It's done. Mr Vague is no more.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 19:06

I am kind of with Velv on the skinnies I am afraid Watch especially with a cowl ..but it is so hard to advise without seeing you. I am sure you know yourself best though lovely. I am a top heavy chick though...

ike1 · 16/01/2013 19:07

Well Juliette he bloody deserves it.

JulietteMontague · 16/01/2013 19:08

I am furious though, he texted back to say 'if we can fall out over this, we're on a hiding to nothing'. Just sums it up really. Restrain me, dignity, dignity...

ike1 · 16/01/2013 19:13

Yes 'dear' ...would be my childish response

Snapespeare · 16/01/2013 19:20

Message on OKC from chap 'hi miss x' Hmm checked profile, first paragraph = 'I am very forward if you don't like that fucking deal with it* I know what I want and what I like ;)'

Well, doesn't that sound alluring......

Was feeling a bit wobbly about voldemort today, for such moments I took the liberty of copy-pasting the thread from when it all went tits-up and I have it to read when I feel wobbly, so ta, you lot. I hold your advice close to me and refer back as necessary.

Snapespeare · 16/01/2013 19:24

watch pass him on when you tire of him... Wink you know the drill, be comfy, no wibbling about appearance, you have a cracking pair of tits smile and glorious hair and he is damn well lucky you deign to spend any time with him at all...

velvet.

juliette well you have fallen out over it and therefore the nothing is hid. Stuff him.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 19:24

Some guys are sooo charming Snape...somewhere in there is a compliment if you want it . Hugs re Voldemort though.x
