Blinners and Ed and Noddy and co. Summer nights out outfits over here please.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

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.

This denim skirt looks good, too. For when it's too hot for distressed jeans (bursts out laughing in Australian accent at the idea) tablet.hm.com/gb/product/27176?article=27176-B

i am OVER denim skirts
they either look like you are in year 9 or that you are a mum with a pram in tunics from white stuff

Has anyone seen this in real life? I wonder if, being viscose, it won't be thick enough or will lose it's shape too quickly? I think the Me+Em ones are thick modal tablet.hm.com/gb/product/26923?article=26923-B

I bloody like

I think I tried one of them and ran away screaming, Belinda. They're very flimsy.

Actually it might not have been the same one cos it was in loads of different colours but it was very similar. Very short too. Scary stuff.

I have several beaded jackets vintage ones are best fit and quality look on eBay. I like kaftan dresses quite slim with a tan and frye boots.

Love that hm skirt really gorgeous will look today at the black one too. I think I saw it on one of the staff and if same one it's very nice

The viscose one I linked to says its double layer, but I agree that it's the sort of skirt that could be very good. Or it could be horrid.

noddy - I have spent HOURS trawling eBay. I am v dedicated in my pursuit of fashion . Imagine if I was aiming for world peace, or something?

I meant the gold skirt. I am lucky with shops where I live lots of vintage and beaded jackets a gogo . I am going to get the Zara slit skirt today and another hm kimono t shirt which has been a surprise hit for me and £8

Oh, right, Noddy, that gold skirt is so lovely. I think I will end up buying it.

Now, I have just done a spur of the moment, uncharacteristically spontaneous purchase. I'm not exactly a fan of this blog, but I saw this dress, and it's £14, and cute, so I bought it www.thelondoner.me/2014/05/date-night-sushi.html

www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2635579/Gemma-Arterton-looks-tanned-black-shirt-A-line-skirt-jewellery-event.html looks great love her whole look

I am finding a lot if success with cheaper stuff ATM bought some camouflage courts yesterday for a fiver to wear with skinny chinos and jean jacket www.everything5pounds.com/military-print-court-shoes-p-30396.html

I agree - Gemma looks perfect in that outfit. Love. And look at her beautiful face. Lucky her.

I only want to spend on things I will wear to death, and going out stuff doesn't exactly fit that criteria [laments].

Oh I need a little camouflage in my wardrobe - there is a gap.

Went a bit mad in Zara will post links later. Ruched skirt very cheapy material not nice at all. The gold one not there. All the longer fuller skirts were a lot nicer. Primark absolutely full of tube skirts so fear they are this summers gypsy skirt. Zara has a beaded shrug which is lovely. The Zara split skirt is great I know I will wear loads. More flattering on me than pencil.

lovely onover dress looked greatthis in redlove

I'm not sure about that Gemma Atherton skirt thang
looks like a massive swimming cap, like the shoes..I have no red shoes

i too am done with denim but that is because I was one almost status quo

Top shop stuff does seem to be more expensive than it should....some of the H&M linkys are vair nice

I looked at loads in h and m all looked nice but very weird fabrics up close Lots of shiny

Saw the patterned shorts they sort of dip at the back very nice colours

Love the purchases Noddy particularly the blue top and skirt. Would the skirt work for work?

Not sure about the Londoners dress Belinda - the top is a bit too high and the skirt a bit too short IMO. Would not work with my boobs and curvy hips.

Although I am interested in finding nice summer dresses for nights out or something I can wear in Ibiza. My (small-breasted) friend advised bikini tops and skirts/shorts but don't think I can rock that look.

And the harem fans - don't they make your bum look big? (I would feel the Hammer time vibe too I think Ronald).

The blue top is my favourite. The skirt may be ok split quite high but not tarty at all. The top with the v back and front is lovely in the red its a deep orange really. I have very little bum unfortunately so am ok in harems.

Frankly, I am too wobbly for harems, as they are usually thin material. I need to exercise / tone up before I try that sort of fabric.

Ah, Stokey you may be right re the dress. I hope not as I won't be returning a £14 dress to the US. Oh, maybe I should have stopped and thought a bit, first, which is what I normally do. Let's see - will report back.

I need a trying on session (which I will NOT be blogging about) in H&M for some fun / going out stuff. I haven't tried the gold skirt on, but loved it when I spied it at the Oxford Circus branch. Sounds like ruched skirt is to be avoided, though.

I never wear thin harems I would not look good in those! I am wearing a dress over skinnies today and I like it Navy silk shirt dress from gap dark skinnies and leopard trainers. Am trying to wear all my stuff ATM
