What shall I buy for a night out that might include clubbing?

[Bozza]

I am going out with 3 of my old friends on 8 July. I'm not sure of the details yet, one of the others has arranged it but suspect it might include a club. Not bothered about clubbing but will go along with what is decided.

I want to buy something new and trendyish as I don't have much in the way of going out clothes but bear in mind that I am 33. I don't really want to wear jeans - seems a bit predictable but what could I get instead. I have skirts that I like wearing but they are all floaty linen types or gypsy or whatever. I have some city shorts but they are a bit heavy - sort of almost tweedy type material.

Won't get much wear out of it so don't want to spend much. But if you give me ideas I will go to New Look and buy the equivalent. Was wondering about some city shorts and a top. But what colour and fabric?

Thanks.

i'd go for smart dark blue denim cropped jean/city short and a nice longish t shirt top, something fairly plain, and some cool shoes, cheap fashion jewels ans nice little bag. i'm 29 so not too muttony!

LOL at muttony. I am quite big on the accessories atm. Any ideas on colour - I am pale and highlighted blonde....

well, i'm no fashion oracle, welshboris is though. I would wear black but i've got a big chest to hide. Love the nice jadey green about atm

Hmm no norks to hide and am not doing so much black just now. So might try jade green. I bought a red top yesterday and it just did not suit my colouring so is going back.

Anyone else? Or shall I just offer alliebongo the position as my personal dresser?

i can't take that reponsibility! Have you got a friend that would go with you??

alliebongo I think you have had some good ideas. Now just need to find some shorts that fit in a cheap shop. Find New Look ones tend to be too low cut for me.

No friends available to go I'm afraid.

low risers do not suit a mummy belly. dotty p's?, next are not that expensive atm and if denim you would wear again

wear something cool, floaty skirt and vest top? maybe buy a really nice clinch belt in bright colour to jazz it up that you can wear again, look at the topshop website for inspiration?

Do you think that would be OK? I have a white linen skirt with embroidery from Next (looked online but couldn't find it although it is in the season's Summer catalogue).

just wear what you are comfy in, bear in mind you may see your pants in uv light!
