I need to find an outfit for the evening event of a works do. During the day we are team building so jeans and boots galore. (any trendy appropriate ideas gratefully received here too) Then, we are all to change at the venue for the evening event.
I want trousers and a really lovely top. Not a dress, really really not a dress. I have a million and wear them once and immediately hate them. I am 5ft 2", quite apple shaped and a size 14. I want the skinny (but dressy) trouser look, with a floaty top but not one that makes me look like the 40 y/o mum trying to hide her baby belly which of course I am. Trousers need to be skinny as I am short and if I wear wide trousers and a floaty top I look like a barge.
I know I am too short for high neck tops, they make my face look fat. I will either wear some lovely strappy sandals of shoeboots, weather dependent. The office is full of beautifully skinny 20-somethings so I want to feel really confident, hence my wish for a trouser/top approach.
Please ladies, I really need help to break out of my fear of dressing up.
