Anybody here to help?

Am going to the pub - walking. It is cold! What can I wear that will look like I've made a bit of an effort but is still okay for a snowy walk?

I have black knee high boots and brown knee high boots - or wellies.

Don't want to wear jeans because they get all soggy at the bottoms.

Oh pretty please.

are boots high heeld? If so , forget it

Just put a bit of extra slap on, and a nice top

No one cares about footwear when its slidey outside

It's only the top half that matters in a pub as no one will see what you're wearing on the bottom half. Plenty of glitz/ bling/ sparkle? Or just something v low cut?!

Yeah get the ol' gals out

I have spent the day in a denim skirt (short) and 2 pairs of tights, the top ones being festively striped If you have something like that with a nice jumper and boots, should be fine I think

Boots are okay for walking (have tested them!); not totally flat but not heeled either - sort of riding boot-ish, I guess.

I don't have anything glitzy, blingy or sparkly, except bangles.

I could go for my failsafe Anglomania dress but how to wear it and not freeze?

Thick socks if you have some - makes all the difference whatever boots you decide. Makeup v. important - red lippy is most Christmassy. Plus usual warm stuff, including vest/long johns if it were me!

That's what I've been wearing all day too, Lou! denim mini, two pairs of tights and dp's huge cashmere jumper!

Can't you wear your wellies and put your boots in a bag?

I could do, although tbh the boots are the least of my problems!

Enough good make-up and some good jewellery and a smart top, and you will look just fine. Seriously, in all this snow, you need to go for warmth.

Unless you're a Geordie. :) They seem immune to bad weather.

This is what fur coats are for

Skinny jeans,boots, nice top, jewellery, scoosh of perfume.

Tuck your jeans in to your boots and they wont get soggy then have a few drinks and you wont give a stuff how you look : )

I haven't got any skinny jeans. My jeans are too mumsy and bootcutty to tuck in my boots.

SO - this is what I have just put on - what do you think?

Thermal vest, grey tights, thermal socks

Black Anglomania dress worn over a grey and white striped long sleeve t-shirt and under a grey cardigan

Black and gold necklace, black and gold beaded cuff, tan knee high boots

Bronze eyeshadow (Urban Decay Smog) and dark red lipstick.

Oh dear - that bad, eh?

DD1 (15) says it looks nice!

I also have a tan belt and a black and gold pashmina.

DD can see you and we can't- believe her

Would give eye-teeth for Anglomania dress so that is a thumbs up from me. I suppose you are away now anyway ...! Hope you had a lovely time.

Am back - had v nice time thank you and think dress was fine. I was warm enough anyway!

Thanks all.
