Going out clubbing with young people. Style crisis

[ilythia]

Am sneaking in here although I don't really belong but am going out with some people off my course tomorrow night. I am a good decade older, only one with kids/married etc etc
People I am going with are sporty/clubber types who dress all cool and stuff.

What sort of thing can I wear? Was thinking of jeans (dull) with red heels, but my jeans are not exactly smart (think purposely holed type ones...)
Don't have skirts that aren't for work, and the one going out dress I have is dirty.
Am impoverished as well....SO...if I go to primark or noew look or somewhere equally stylish tomorrow, what am I looking for?
Am size 18-20, tall (5ft9) with very large norks. Don't like my arms, or stomach, legs okay but not great.
Have chin length bob hair which I will put something in, feck knows what.

any ideas? linkies to give me some idea? or general advice to not look frumpy?

Brilliant sounds like you looked every bit as good as the younger ones. Was making me when reading about baileys and hot choc thinking I would much rather do that than go clubbing I am definitely getting old !

I did buy some Bailey's earlier...and I have hot choc in the cupboard

I may not have looked as good, and I may have sloped off at midnight like a saddo, but it was fun, and I actually feel like I have made proper friends with one fo the other girls on my placement, who is nearer my age. We have a lot more in common than we thought and bonded over some wine. Happy happy.

Did enjoy a good boogie though. Albeit to some shit music (fame? Raining men? ymca? Seriously? Gbff chose the club...)

I am no fashionista but so in a similar situation to you with my college buddies. I too have avoided all nights out but have one coming up soon and actually I want to go but fretting over clothing.

I may be barking up the wrong tree totally but how about something like.....

with leggings/tights/or evenwith skinnys depending how short it is - hard to tell is this is maybe too plain for a night out from the pic, perhaps some bling may jazz it up.

Snapped Loved the black floral tesco one but your peacock links were broken
ilythia congrats on great night

They all look fine (apart form peacocks as I can't see them) pretty much what others were wearing.

I did see a lot fo the shortest skirts I had ever seen but luckily the girls I was with all got the giggles too, so that's not appropriate
Most were in jeans/tops or dresses.
