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.

Top in Marks a bit weddingy although surprisingly the yellow was nicer than grey. Was with ds so was a very quick peak. Love those BR trousers how do their things fit? Just saw in DM today Lorraine kelly has a collection and it has gone some way to frumping up skinny jeans blouse and pointy shoes and stripy t shirts!

noddyholder · 19/05/2014 17:55

I bet those scallop shorts will be surprise hit #mysticmeg

noddyholder · 19/05/2014 17:56

Someone at school had it on

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/05/2014 19:02

I like the silver skirt. I have a Whistles-esque midi one, which always gets (positive!) comments. It is prone to Marilyn moments though, and I have to be very careful in it when swishing downstairs etc.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/05/2014 19:02

I like the shorts, but have similar already. And it doesn't solve the tights/shoe problem!

BillStickersIsInnocent · 19/05/2014 19:04

Seriously why do you need tights? You say your legs are nice, and it's not that cold in the evenings now. Then you can wear courts, strappy sandals whatever

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/05/2014 19:10

My legs are nice in tights! Honestly, I would never, never wear bare legs and shorts or a short skirt in the UK. And at night time, in a club or wherever, I think it can look a bit dodgy on anybody who hasn't got entirely model-esque beautifully coloured legs. I'd wear jeans rather than bare legs.

wear some 7 den ones
mate didnt realise I had any on at work the other day

You are wierd about that tho

EduardoBarcelona · 19/05/2014 19:57

which sainsbos skirt?

cowsarescary · 19/05/2014 20:34

It was the dress with the lemons on at the top. I realise now the discussion had moved well away from dresses ...

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 19/05/2014 22:19

Oh, this is so demure - I love the sweetness of it. www.oasis-stores.com/broderie-high-neck-dress/clothing/oasis/fcp-product/3770040620 not sure if it would be flattering, though.

EduardoBarcelona · 19/05/2014 22:26

Agree on both

noddyholder · 20/05/2014 07:59

www.riverisland.com/women/tops/t-shirts/Black-colour-block-abstract-trim-top-656530. Saw this yesterday and it really stood out very nice

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/05/2014 17:45

Demure dress not doing much for me - neckline far too high and those cutesy dresses are very unforgiving on busty 40 somethings!

Top a bit too 80s for me, I think, and polyester and dancing not a good combo.

OP posts:
noddyholder · 20/05/2014 17:55

The top is v worky irl but is the dreaded polyester!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/05/2014 17:57

Did you see the grey M&S lace top, Noddy? No good?

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/05/2014 17:58

Yellow and white fans this is cute for the non Goth-esque amongst us

noddyholder · 20/05/2014 18:26

I have that cos top in the navy and pink I love it. I did see the marks top the yellow was nicest but I thought it was mother of the bride-y didn't like it at all. Plus saw those over layered tops in every shop I went in and think they are not for me!

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 20/05/2014 19:13

Will come back to read later, but am cowering in the corner (hiding from DCs) and posting some photos. I reached my 6 images in 24 hours limit the other night, so am going to try and finish what I started. [cracks knuckles]. No time to check if these are duplicates of what I have already posted or not, sorry.
