we haven't decided yet although we are booked into a posh hotel for the night!!! so the world is our oyster!
shellybellySadwhy aren't you speaking? why don't try and organise an evening out for the two of you as a making up and being friends gesture?

oh lets not talk about me otherwise i'll start bubbling Grin

on the choice of colours you could either go for black but how about a slinky red top and that way it conceals your red underwear. You probably don't want to do jeans, are you a skirt or trousers person?

definitely a trousers person.hardly ever wear a skirt-ever.
but maybe that would be good? element of surprise and all?

ok have had a look at some dresses and most seem to be spaghetti straps which is a big no no.
am floundering a bit here.
i usually just wear jeans and t-shirts.i really have no idea what would be a good thing to wear.i look around the shops and have no idea which of the clothes to even try on, iyswim?

I would say dont wear trousers if you want to surprise him!

What about a long skirt and top...with some sparkle?

Wallis is good.

And get your hair done too!

Am going to check out the Wallis website now!

collision · 25/04/2006 11:11

There is a lovely green skirt in Wallis which would look fab with a black top and black shoes.

PandaG · 25/04/2006 11:11

No suggestions - just wanted to say whatever you wear I hope DH appreciates it, and you both have a fantastic hot date!

shellybelly · 25/04/2006 11:11

sorry AM, would be better help if I was in a better frame of mind Smile I'm sure whatever you do it will all come together and be fab Grin

kickassangel · 25/04/2006 11:16

go to a beauty counter & get your face done, if poss, do something with your hair - if you're not comfortable witha posh look, put in fancey grip in it. a long skirt would look good (i'm also tall, busty, curvy), or wide leg trousers (which you might wear again anyway, perhaps with something glittery/silky
trinny & susannah say never wear colour & black, but i disagree - black trousers & a red top can look fab if you have the right colouring - but not a bright red top, could look tarty (unless that's what you want him to think!) Smile
like shellybelly i'm Envy

my hair as far as the cut is fine.the salon where i get it done does a special deal on aaturday were they will style it and give you a manicure(it's the apprentices practicing) for £15{shock]
it looks best straightened so i thought i might get that done on saturday.but if i get my hair done then i won't be able to go in the hotel pool when we arrive!
i like the long skirt idea.
shelly you've been great help! i needed somebody to bounce ideas around with!

don't forget to let us know what you get and how your hot date went Grin

collision · 25/04/2006 21:15

what did you think of the green skirt AM?

Original poster
alexsmum · 26/04/2006 14:18

i like it but it's dry clean only.
i don't do dry clean only.if i don't drop dinner on it then the baby will wipe his nose on it.
think i'll go shopping tomorrow and see what i can find.otherwise i'm going to dig my little black dress out.not trendy but nice anyway.
