You know when you are going somwhere semi dressy but not glittery? ANd it might be cold?
what do you need?
A Going Out Jumper

thinnish of knit, close of fit (at the right bits) and a little low cut.

Do you have a Going Out Jumper?

No, Going Out Jumpers are brill.

I hate cardigans, so have a few- my favourite is my vintage 60s gold lurex number. Great with pencil skirt.

Yabu, there is no such thing as a sexy jumper. You're just one rack away from dressing like Sarah lund.

MrsCampbellBlack · 16/09/2012 08:56

Tethers I love a bit of lurex. I fancy an oversized sheerish jumper to wear over leather leggings for going out purposes.

Sorry - entirely wrong thread, that's what happens when you have more than one window open. I've asked for it to be deleted. Flylady has no place in Style and Beauty with her pinnies and lace up shoes.

I have one, it's fine, black cowl neck with a lurex trim around the wrists and the bottom edge. It's very versatile, looks good with skinnies and heels for going out, but can be worn dressed down a bit with jeans and boots for a girls lunch or with a pencil skirt for work.

BonnyDay · 16/09/2012 09:34

No of course not. hits head

MrsCB spot on - the choc would be perfect for me. Is it a reasonable thickness? Or v fine? Am thinking of it as a possible autumn alternative to my DP linen biker...

yy sexy jumper should be in all our wardrobes. A good pinny too Wink

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/09/2012 10:20

I like the sound of yours, Trixy - am v fond of a decent cowl neck.

Biker jackets - I wouldn't wear them zipped up. I'm going to investigate the WC one next time I'm in town.

trixymalixy · 16/09/2012 11:05

It's actually this one, it came missing the button to hold the neckline to the side like in the picture. It was such a bargain and it looked nice just as a cowl neck, so I kept it and have worn it to death.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/09/2012 11:07

The neckline as shown would be horrible on my norks. Bet it's much nicer as a black cowl neck than a shiny red pulled across neck!

valiumredhead · 16/09/2012 12:32

Sexy jumper does sound like a cruise ship item Grin

HoopDePoop · 16/09/2012 12:41

Glittery knitwear = very itv2

Can't decide whether to get this jumper or not- the sleeves are great, but will it give me one enormoboob?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/09/2012 15:53

Tethers - I'm a norky size 12 and that would make me look huge, I think.

valiumredhead · 16/09/2012 15:57

Oh God that jumper is HIDEOUS!!!! Sorry Blush

tethersend · 16/09/2012 16:00

Don't be sorry, redhead, I bloody love it Grin

But I fear Remus is right, so that's 18 quid saved Smile

valiumredhead · 16/09/2012 16:01

It would make anyone who had more boobs than an ironing board look enormous! And it'll be scratchy at £18 Wink

tethersend · 16/09/2012 16:02

Yes, yes, scratchy. Another reason. Itchy enormoboob.

MrsLettuce · 16/09/2012 16:05

It'd be great if you've got the right bra teathers. somethign sweater-girl-ish triumph doreen / playtex cross your heart / triumph amourette, that sort of job. Horizontal stripes are more flattering though.
