Snake skin print blazer and.......?!

[bristolcities]

Have recently purchased a cropped snake skin print blazer with shoulder pads, it's not as hideous as it sounds, honestly.

But I'm seriously struggling with something to wear underneath it!

Obviously black???

I want some thing umm...sexy(something I don't do, ever).

It's a big do I'm going to, please help!

I think you best bet is nothing. Anything else would detract from its obvious glory

Seriously, if I were trying to style you I wouldn't go for black. I'd go for a skinny, shiny, stiff fabric dress in a metallic pale goldy colour, with tights and some decent heels.

Probably mid thigh length dress and close fitting but with the sort of fabric that is pleated over on itself so it's quite thick.

ooohhh your good.

Any links?

I'm seriously struggling.

And not because the jacket is gross!

I think we need a link to the jacket if you can oblige...and I will try my best to find something like what I'm on about!

I've just looked and it's not on the h and m website

It's grey and black snake skin print and is cropped to just above the waist. Very 80's shape and shoulder pads.

Am I selling it?

Sounds awful doesn't it!

Ooh you def need a bodycon dress then. Grey and black..well maybe pale gold would work with that. Or silver? Bodycon but metallic I think.

H&M probably have something!

Ta da! Love the body con dress idea, was thinking bustier top and black trousers???

shamless bump

When in doubt look at nap! Similar jackets styled with black gress and heavy sandals here orwith skinnies and white silk shell here or with nude bodycon and nude skyscraper sandals here Obviously the jackets are not the one you have but the looks might work with it?

dress not gress obviously

What a brilliant idea. The shape is very similar to the second link and along the lines I was thinking. I would love to do a bodycon but have an aversion to the cold, bordering on phobia. Now all I need to do is find the perfect silky vest. And shoes, I have black skinnys, would black heels be black over-kill?

this is nice. I think black heels would be fine

Oh that is lovely, thank you Fauxfox. I've been serching for something for weeks. What would I do with out MN?!
