I have two parties to go to this year, but unfortunately there's no question of anything new to wear, so, I shall be wearing and old Coast dress, which I love. Although it's from several season as ago, I think is classy yet slightly sexy (on a woman of 40+) and flattering for me. It's black jersey, fitted around the waist and bust,with a scoop neck and a flippy full skirt, just above the knee and handkerchief sleeves. Anyway I like it and that's what I'll be wearing.
For shoes, I have black knee high boots with a heel - the only vaguely dressy shoes I own that I could wear and dance in all evening, which I intend to do.
So I'm not really asking for opinions on the dress or boots, as I don't have a lot of choice, but I could probably stretch to some new tights, so fishnets, some other pattern, plain opaque or sheer, or bare legs and fake tan? Please? There's a gap of about 6 in between the top of the boots and the skirt.
