Playsuit and black opaques?

Have my work Christmas 'do' on Friday and havent sorted an outfit yet. I have seen this but not brave or maybe stupid enough to wear it without leg coverings of some sort. I was thinking of teaming it with black heels black opaques and a black cardigan

Yay or nay?

Are you 20 years old and a size nothing? If not, then noooooooo.

SardineJam · 12/12/2011 13:48

25 and about an 12 Blush but I am tall...

Would it really be that awful?

Yes it's fine, I'm 27 and would wear it

Wear it with over the knee socks, not tights

SardineJam · 12/12/2011 13:50

Scorps, would you wear black ones then? Where could I get them from - really do like your suggestion

You can get soft touch ones from Peacocks about £3, i like those. Don't get cable knitted ones - you need smooth ones, iyswim.

I wear playsuits and over the socks alot.

New Look do lots of socks too, but here anyway they're all thick knitted and that wouldn't go.

Scorps · 12/12/2011 13:53

And yes, black socks

SardineJam · 12/12/2011 13:53

I see Miss Selfridge have the socks too...

No no no to over the knee socks unless you are a teenage lolita-and 27 is most definately not a teenagerGrin

Thick black opaques,a chunky necklace or big earrings and a blazer over the top.

I think it would look lovely with a black cardigan and black maybe patterned tights.

Am jealous of you for being young & slim enough Xmas Envy

abigboydidit · 12/12/2011 14:44

Yes to playsuit as it's very sweet and you sound like you have the build and the youth to carry it off Xmas Envy. I'd steer away from the over knee socks though for fear of looking like Britney Spears crossed with Peter Pan Xmas Shock

Scorps · 12/12/2011 16:09

Oh well, I'm still going to wear them anyway Grin

Playsuit?

Are you a toddler and is it the 1970s?

SardineJam · 12/12/2011 17:26

Mama I do feel really ancient at the moment, two little ones and very sleep deprived, so have decided I need to inject the youth back into me!

Ha ha, you do get playsuits for the older generation now Trills

I might buy and try some socks to convince me otherwise and see what they look like but consensus looks like black tights (my work staple, even in summer Blush )

i wear a playsuit with black tights, think it would be nice with otk socks but i dont think i could carry it off. I was considering wearing socks over tights but chickened out.

Megatron · 12/12/2011 17:59

Lovely playsuit. I would def go for tights instead of socks. I think you really need to be a teenager to carry that off (sorry!).

DaPrincessBride · 12/12/2011 18:06

Would look lovely with black opaques - I'm also 27 and wore playsuit, opaques and black heels out the other night and apparently it looked good!! Enjoy! :)

theseventhdwarf · 13/12/2011 08:14

oh wow - i thinks it s great I d definately go for it fab and sexy combo - as long as the play suit fits well ie not too tight ! i found i needed to go up a size sometimes when stuff like that !
have a great night!
