Very excited about going out a week on Friday, for dancing with the girls.

Had a baby about 7 months ago, so would Luke to hide my tummy if possible.

My legs are ok, so was thinking skinny jeans and floaty top, but don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb...(am 41).

What's everyone wearing these days? Dresses? Pencil skirts? Jeans? Help!

Last time I went out, I wore opaque tights, black opaques, heeled ankle boots, a silk t-shirt and a fabric biker jacket. But that might well have veered into mutton, I guess! :)

Usually I'd have skinnies, or opaques and a tube skirt.

So Remus two pairs of tights but nothing else on your bottom half?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/11/2013 20:14

I told you it was mutton! Oops - I had shorts on over the tights - honest!

My friends are a real mix, so go with what you feel comfortable in. One will wear a tunic and leggings, one will wear a dress and the rest of us are in trousers or jeans. If I'm doing somewhere smart I tend to wear trousers and a top, if not jeans and a nice top.

totally depends when and where.

sometimes I do a sheer printed blouse and black skinnies otherwise other. the oriental skirt sounds nice...

Monsoon Fusion (on their website) have lovely modern stuff.
