London Engagement Party Outfit Nightmare!!

3 replies

Help please all you fashionistas out there!
I'm going to London this weekend for a good friend's engagement drinks. I'm totally stuck for what to wear as I have been living in the provinces for years where people tend to dress up a hell of a lot more in what I fear is a slightly mumsy way!
I'm 34, size 10-12, 5 foot 5, curvy. There are going to be lots of people there I haven't seen since university (not to mentions potentially some ex's!) so I want to feel good! The do is in a pub so not likely to be overly smart but I don't really do casual very well - it just doesn't suit me! I've got some decent skinny jeans I suppose I could dress up but I normally tend to wear quite fitted, stylish stuff as that is what suits me. Imagine a pencil dress, high heels etc - that kind of look. I don't want to be overdressed though......
Help help help!!

Ah, I should have said.........pretty much zero. I was hoping to create an outfit out of my current wardrobe!!! Bit of creative styling.....?

Love the dress though.....

What about a dress with a shrunken denim jacket and chunky statement shoes see here and here and here for styling.

Search Net a porter for items similar to stuff you have and see how they style it - if it's on nap you are prob safe in the knowledge it is not frumpy or out of fashion Grin
