Big night out but what do I wear during the day?

REALLY need some help as I am hopeless.

We are attending a night event in London with 3 other main managers & 8 saff including partners.

We are staying at the Mandarin & we will be having a champagne lunch & sit down dinner at the hotel.

Quite scared & more than a little lost on the clothes front although I have picked an outfit I have for the evening I don't know what to wear during the day.

My wardrobe is full of jeans, biker boots & funky tops from Next so will need 2 new outfits....

I'm 32 with long brown hair & I'm roughly a size 10 (no boobs & expanding thighs)

Please help, we go on the 20th Nov.

Right.. what's your budget?

Any bits you want to hide/show off?

Do you need daytime clothes to travel in or just for champagne lunch?

Budget is around the £50 mark, I'm thinking casual triusers & blouse? Don't want anything to showy, I'm not very confident & really hate social engagments especially when I'm having to be the bosses wife instead of mummy to 3 boistrous children!!

What about something like this or this with this or this or this.

I love this top which you could also wear with these trousers and pumps.

Oh thank you teth.

I really like your style and I like all of the blouses but I don't think I could carry the short trouser look.

Also, if you don't mind - I will need shoes to go with trousers & blouse outfit because I only own a nice pair of flip flops & a very nice (recently bought) pair of biker boots Grin

It all depends on what sort of trousers you want to wear... have you got a style in mind?

Please don't say bootcut Grin

Would you do wide leg?

I found www.additionsdirect.co.uk/south-ponteroma-pencil-skirt/738390988.prd?cmtag=o&_requestid=29044&prdToken=/p/prod3842293-sku5563190&browseToken=/q/5w980

I like the top & the skirt (I would need to buy shoes)
I have an account with this company so could spend a little more.
