Is this dress too mature?

[mrspear]

Turning 30 this year. And to be honest i have lost the plot when it has come to clothes.

So what do you think of this
www.lkbennett.com/clothes/ss11preview/DRVIOLA619VISCOSEMIX for my big birthday night out?

QueeferSutherland - I have that red Anglomania dress it is fabulous on!

If you decided to go with a top and jeans

I know there's nothing better than a new dress, but given your measurements I think a vest and fancy skirt might be better.

Good quality black vest, low cut-ish, with waist-defining skirt that flares a bit. A rich colour or pattern on the skirt. Heels.

This sort of idea, but different skirt, and maybe a belt, and definitely one or two necklaces (I did say idea ...):

Well, I'm going against the grain here- I love the dress in the OP.

I think it is classic, not middle aged at all; however, I think you need to sex it up with leopardprint heels or something. What's your hair like?

Not frumpy or mature at all. Depends how you wear it.

If you wear a vest and skirt I will hunt you down and kill you with my bare hands.

(Sorry, Russ. Such a good name...)

I was going to link to Donna but Queefer has beated me to it.

Tis a fab dress!

I love that sequin skirt...
Im 30 in June and have a 7mth DD (who does thankfully sleep) plus 3 other DC but still feeding and so feel frumpy. Im watching this for ideas.
What do people wear out these days ???

Thanks to all the replies - i love the dress that Queefer linked to - just need to work on DH

Hi OP

I have that dress in the midnight shade, it is a fab dress and have had so many compliments on it, but i mainly wear it for work.

that said in the red it is much more racey and it has a nice lowish v at the back which you can't see in the picture.

i think you could def sex it up like Tethers says with bare legs and some great shoes. I have also seen the girls in LKBennett wear it with a belt.

I have an email voucher for 15% of at LKB at the mo, don't know how to do these personal message things yet but if you message me your email address I can send it to you, or if you use the code Launch online you get the discount too.

I have this dress which is fab and they do it in other colours too, a bit more pricey though.

I really like the dress in the OP too - agree with tethersend that it could look amazing depending on how you wear it.

I am 36 and also treading the difficult line at the moment. I think lace is a good thing in these circumstances and there is quite a bit of nice lacey stuff around at the mo.

Love this
