Reunion - need to wow!

15 replies

MagsAloof · 12/04/2012 16:26

I have a reunion next weekend with a large group of women I went to school with (not all of whom I liked....) and I need an outfit (dress, shoes, bag etc) to WOW them especially the cowbags

The event is a night time one in a posh nightclub, so needs to be dressy but fashionable, maybe even a bit edgy (no weddng-ey prom dresses!).

I am 35, 5'11, a 12-14, dont likelike anythng too far above the knee or tight around tum, and cannot do towering heels or completely bare arms. I have large norks, a decent waist and bum, long legs, although dislike knobbly knees, bit of bongo wingage and hate jelly belly (spanx will be in full effect). If it helps, I am fair skinned with green eyes and dark hair dyed a plum shade.

Please help me be the belle of the ball Grin I have lost 2 stone since the last time they saw me and I just want to make them a leeeeetle bit jealous

I've just bought this from Long Tall Sally. Below the knee and very, very flattering Grin

With your colouring sounds like you'd look great in green
or purple pencil
red drape
structured lace comes in 2 colours

AgathaFusty · 13/04/2012 10:48

That red Karen Millen dress is lovely.

You sound like the same sort of body type as me. I thought of All Saints straight away. I really like this dress - the pattern looks great in real life.
