Okay. Instead of taking over the workwear thread. Ideas/pics for nice outfits for drinks and maybe a spot of dancing on summer evenings, please? Especially for those of us who quite like a bit of leg on show.

just too cold bare legged,you will look well rough reemers

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 19:48

There is no way on this earth I would wear shorts in the UK in the evening, with bare legs, Ed. Although tbf it's lovely here. Not going anywhere tonight though. :(

so you want to show your legs off but not wear shorts or skinnies

are we onto skirts then?
im confuddled

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 19:54

I think I want a short dress, or shorts with sheer tights if that meets with MN approval, which it probs doesn't. :)

Oh good Blush I'll stay then Grin! So you want a short dress or skirt that you will wear with tights? What tights opaques or sheer nude?

Gillybobs · 17/05/2014 19:55

What about a Vivienne Westwood anglomania type dress?sort of sexy ruched jersey, not workwear ruched jersey

FauxFox · 17/05/2014 19:55

haha cross post!

FauxFox · 17/05/2014 19:57

do you want print or plain?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 19:57

loose black?

EduardoBarcelona · 17/05/2014 20:03

i cant get involved in dresses

they just dont work on me

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 20:04

Just looked at that exact one! need more fitted really, and maybe not black as I always wear black.

Is it possible to dress up a black tube mini skirt for a night out?

OP posts:
Gillybobs · 17/05/2014 20:07

Me and em do a gorgeous ruched mini, that could look good with silky cami and heels I reckon

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 20:07

I like this

OP posts:
Gillybobs · 17/05/2014 20:08

Love that

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 20:09

But don't really like to have top of arms on show.

MaryWestmacott · 17/05/2014 20:25

I quite like this but might not be short enough for what you are looking for.

PrincessOfChina · 17/05/2014 20:32

Leg make-up? I much prefer it to fake tan. I have the Sun Shimmer from Rimmel.

Would make the shorts a goer if you have good legs anyway!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 20:38

Grey dress is cute but yes, too long and probs too shapeless for me.

I don't think I'd do bare legs at all tbh, even with leg makeup or fake tan. The rest of me is very pale, so it just wouldn't look right.

OP posts:
MaryWestmacott · 17/05/2014 20:51

sounds like you are looking for a playsuit, it's been declared bare legs season - if you have good (just pale) legs, get them out!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 20:55

Legs are good from about mid thigh down. Playsuits = loo issues though, and are mostly either strapless or cami top, and polyester too. I can't find one I love, though have been searching. Re bare legs - nope, I just wouldn't.

OP posts:
MaryWestmacott · 17/05/2014 20:57

what about this one

MaryWestmacott · 17/05/2014 20:58

I like this dress from warehouse

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 21:03

£75 for polyester! Not fond of the see through bits either.

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2014 21:04

Dress is okay, but again, it's the sort of thing I'd usually shove a blazer over for work.
