What do I wear for a Mums night out?

[FabMum1]

All the Mums are having a get together in a few weeks and I don't know what to wear. We're going to a bar and possibly to see a band play, not sure yet.
I want to look trendy and maybe a little bit beautiful (but that'll take alot of hardwork).
Help me decide ladies
I'm about 5ft 8 n a size 8

If I was a size 8 I wouldn't be asking a bunch of strangers on the internet what to wear .

Sorry, not helpful - but you will look great in anything

Skinny jeans,heels and a top? Boring but that is what I would wear!

What Ragwort and Dexter said!

What dexter said, but make it a top with a little sparkle as I think it adds to the occasion.

Thank you for the compliment, I'm just not very good at dressing myself.
I always look at people and think how fab they look, I just can't put things together.
Where is the best place to buy from?

Depends on your budget. I like to go to a department store and look at the mannequins as they usually have the best on offer from each concession. Magazines are also a good place to start.

Skinny black jeans - the M&S 'tregging' ones sound vile but are really good and only around 20 quid

Nice silk top - how much do you want to spend? Ted Baker usually have some gorgeous ones.

Heels.

New lipstick.

How old are you? And where do you usually shop?

I'm late 30s n usually shop in H&M n TK Maxx, boring I know

I don't want to be spending lots of money £50 max

So what have you already got that you could wear? Do you just need a top or a whole outfit?

Have you already got some jeans that make you feel good? And some heels?

Warehouse had a lovely silk vest the other day - and I'm pretty sure that it was less than 30 pounds.

I have many jeans, but they are all very casual, nothing I'd feel glam in. Maybe that's where I should start.
Some new jeans, now what style, skinny?

I like black skinnies for an evening out. These are a bargain!

Ignore the dreadful picture - these are actually v good in both black and dark denim

Dexter, what top would you wear and heels?

Jacket or blazer?

Plus, hair up or down?

What jackets have you got? Personally I'd go with either a biker jacket or a blazer.

Black or dark blue skinny jeans, heels nice top and 3/4 sleeve blazer. Can always go for dressy top and nice jewellery then.

I've got a slightly cropped biker jacket or a cream blazer, that's it.

With your biker jacket?

Oh thats cute, not seen that before.

Do you not think something fitted, or is a less fitted top better with skinny jeans?

No idea! We need another skinny size 8er to answer that question for you! I just thought it was pretty and it's silk so feels a bit 'special' and Warehouse silk is pretty good and decent value too.

It is beautiful, will look on the warehouse website

I'm a tad shorter than you but a size 6/8. Would say rule of thumb is tight bottoms with loose top or vise versa. Same as with a dress, the shorter the dress the more you should cover arms, longer the dress more arms/ top half showing

Does that make sense?

Ps office have a great sale of heels atm!

Thanks forevergreek, that does make sense
Where old u recommend for jeans?

I an size 8 too, but a bit too small now for Next and M&S size 8 (which used to be my staples). (illness not dieting is responsible for the being too small bit btw!)

I have bought Asda great bum slim leg jeans after reading about them on here, they are great and a dark wash so quite smart looking.

Also bought Fat Face and Hobbs skinnies, but they are more expensive, good though!

Agree with tight jeans and looser top for a going out look.
