My idea of an evening social event these days is putting on lippy when I go to pick up a takeaway. However, I have somehow managed to wangle tickets to an exhibition preview at the university I went to a squillion years ago.
I am taking my mum with me and neither if us have any idea what the invite means by "dress code: lounge suit". I am more worried than my mum as she has a,wardrobe full of smart suits that she used to wear to events when she was a head teacher, but I am much more likely to wear something that will a) stand out like a sore thumb because it is so obviously wrong and b) make me look like either a tired mum or an ageing student.
I have no idea how "lounge suit" translates to women's clothing and don't want to look foolish. I can't afford and don't have any time to go shopping so was going to wear a draped jersey dress with nice boots or sandals, depending on the weather. Would this suffice?

What the hell kind of dress code is "lounge suit", anyway, eh?
