Does anyone want to help me find an outfit to make me feel good about myself?

Dh and I are going to a very nice restaurant for our anniversary on Saturday night.

We've not been getting on well lately, loads of silly stressy stuff, nothing marriage threatening just bickering, you know...

I've been doing loads of early mornings at work, I only work part time, but starting at 6 means I'm tired all the time, my shoulder length hair is constantly in a pony ( required for work), and I'm either in work uniform (very unflattering) or in jeans/pjs :/

I'm only 5ft, size 8, blond.

I need something to make me feel alive again... Feel like we are drowning in drudgery...

Please help.

Thank you!

How dressy? What sort of things do you like?

Cigarette trousers and a nice shirt, maybe?
A dress?

Do you want to buy irl? If yes, which shops can you get to?

And what's your budget?

I bought a lovely necklace in accessorize this week. Not sure how to link it though

I think the restaurant is dressy, so probably lbd/cocktail dress.

Umm could go online or to either westfield/lakeside but would need to be a strategic shop.

No more than £100, preferably a lot less!

Do you already have shoes?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/04/2014 20:41

V pretty and in the sale

Karbea · 28/04/2014 20:48

I probably have shoes, but it depends on the dress I pick to a certain extent.

I'm 40, forgot to mention that trying to forget.

How about either getting your hair blow dried or nails done on Sat afternoon to give your self a much needed treat?
