what to wear for a night out?

[kittydreamer]

Help I never know what to wear for a night out I feel frumpy. I am size 14/ 16 . I cant wear heels so they are out. I am possibly a cello shape or an apple never sure? My figure hates are my midrif I havnt a very slim waist. I dont like leggings. My last night out I wore trousers and a tunic and flatish shoes, every other woman in the room had a dress and high heels on . I physically cant wear them as my back goes into cramps if I do. I wore dresses in the summer with flat sandals but i the winter this isnt an option. I dont do jeans either dont feel they suit my shape and dont feel comfy in them . Any ideas appreciated. I am 47 and fashion is beyond me!! but that doesnt mean I want to look frumpy either. I like clothing that doesnt date and suites me just not sure what that is any more. So please if you have any advice Im all ears. Thankyou.

I would wear this dress and pointed flats like this

looks interesting tethersend but Zara clothing tends to come up small in my opinion and sometimes the largest of their sizing barely fits me. I like the styling thou might give it a look when Im shopping , thanks

What's your budget for a dress?

I guess my budget would be about 80 to 100 pounds
depends how much I liked it and how much I was going to wear it. Might spend more in that case.

How about this?

Stunning in red but shoes would be a problem looks like it would require heels. I cant wear them unfortunately due to a back problem . I do like the dress thou.

this would look noce with tights and flat boots

Thats probably more my style Dr Northener. I am a flat boot sort of person might think about that . Thanks
