So I bought this today, it's too young for me isn't it?

I'm 31, had my PFB 7 months ago and feel all lost (fashion-wise). I've always loved clothes and had a strong sense of my style but since becoming a mum I've totally lost it. I'm BF so can't wear dresses, which I love. I am living in baggy jeans and easy access jumpers etc.

Thought this could look cool with black
leggings, biker boots and a sloppy jumper/t. I'm 5'10, size 14. Nice-ish legs but belly and big leaky boobs.

I should take it back, shouldn't I?

:) Are you little and pale faced, with hair which desperately needs dying and a tummy that needs serious toning? Yep? You MUST be me! Grin

I'm 5'8'' and it IS seriously short - I saw it in there the other day. Would barely cover your arse.

I do like stars though, shame I am 34 - too over the hill for that now, I fear....

TapselteerieO · 20/01/2012 19:53

I think it is fine, just don't wear it with leggings, thick black tights, maybe slightly woolly/textured. You are 31 and you have good legs, enjoy!!

JennyPiccolo · 20/01/2012 19:56

i like it. fuck the haters, OP.

moonface73 · 20/01/2012 20:00

I am 8 inches shorter than you, if I was lucky enough to be as tall and long legged as you then I'd be wearing that skirt!

Figgyrolls · 20/01/2012 20:05

I'm torn. Was it the starry skirt?

however as I usually bow to tethers much better opinion than my own........

yellowraincoat · 20/01/2012 20:05

The shortness is not the problem, obv, but the weird teenage star design.

Buy something similar but plain.

yellowraincoat · 20/01/2012 20:07

Ps everyone saying its too short for someone who's 30...come on! There's really no such thing as too short when you have nice legs.

TapselteerieO · 20/01/2012 20:15

This might work with bf'ing, leggings and your biker boots.

TheDetective · 20/01/2012 20:58

I like it. I'm 27, 5ft 2 size 14-16, and would definately wear it.

I'd also wear it with a black fitted vest top, purple slouchy cardigan, leggings, or purple tights with biker boots. Accessorise with chunky costume jewellery.

But then I like to dress younger than my years - mainly because I look younger too.

Graciescotland · 20/01/2012 21:17

It's not great to be honest, I'd send it back.

Breastfeeding doesn't need to mean no dresses it's all about layers, so stretchy scoop neck plus cardi, cardi goes up(not unbuttoned) dress goes down. I got some great lk bennett dresses on ebay. Worth a look also there seems to be loads of reiss skirts going for peanuts at the moment, happy hunting!

TapselteerieO · 21/01/2012 00:11

Ooops link didn't work this dress.

Quodlibet · 21/01/2012 00:36

OP how about French Connection sale - still on and they usually seem to have size 14s left after all the 8s and 10s are gone. I reckon you'd get a dress there that you could pop a boob out of too...
