What to wear to school reunion?

[cheekymonk]

It's at a local pub, BBQ and drinks. I'm a size 20 5ft 9 and biggest around hips and tummy. I want to look and feel good, making the statement that I'm much mire together than I was when at school! I'm 36...

[MrsLettuce]

Oh that's grand!
If you feel your legs are looking shorter than you'd like it'd be best to avoid shoes iwth an ankle strap. Do shout if I can be of any use.

[cheekymonk]

Oooh just got dress and tried on very nice! Legs look short pale and white so def needs the heels and maybe thinner tights too. Def needs the black accessories maybe chunky necklace. Will look into! Now I know I like and am keeping dress can do finishing touches! Thanks again mrs l

Nice that would look lovely with a black blazer too.

[cheekymonk]

Thanks mrs lettuce I like the triangular earrings and bracelet. I may have bonus at work so will check that and also look into my bag collection! Thank you!

[MrsLettuce]

One last thing - do you have (or can you borrow) a largish, plainish black (or black and white) bag? Not a clutch though, unless its mahoosive!

meant to say - pricier bracelet set for with the asos double triangle earrings, i thought, maybe?

[MrsLettuce]

both asos - Monki Arrow Bracelet & ASOS Faux Pearl Triangle Earrings.

Lovely outfit. MrsL WINS

[cheekymonk]

Thank you fackinhell! Have ordered the blue Mary portals dress and lower black block heel shoes from dps.

[cheekymonk]

You're very good mrs lettuce! Like both earrings not sure about cuff. Have trouble clicking on quirky ones

[MrsLettuce]

Bargain cuff and earrings? Maybe? this and these I like but maybe too quirky.

WTF's a pyrope?

[fackinell]

The pyrope dress is gorj, Cheekymonk. You're gonna rock it.

[tethersend]

Did you order Mrs L's Mary P dress?

Will have a look for shoes...

[cheekymonk]

Have ordered dress just trying to do shoes! Thanks again mrs lettuce

[MrsLettuce]

too high, way, way too high.

[MrsLettuce]

Me neither, way to high!

These one? Like those too. Similar but wedges here.

[cheekymonk]

I like the black block heel sandals more I would never walk in those you have suggested but they are fabulous!

[MrsLettuce]

9 is in stock - Dorothy Perkins 'Black high chunky sandals'

[cheekymonk]

Having trouble clicking on link also I am a size 9

[MrsLettuce]

A good pair of Fuck-You-All shoes really helps too, probably even better with you already being tall. Could you maybe stretch to these? They'd be fine on grass.

[cheekymonk]

I do like dresses yes mrslettuce. I do like that dress too thank you

[MrsLettuce]

I really rather like this. Do you actually like to wear dresses, trousers would be at least as good. IMO understated is better than dressy for these things, gives more of an air of confidence.

[cheekymonk]

Budget is under £50

[cheekymonk]

Thanks tethers end I like the purple best. I'm quite casual but I like to be feminine. Am really lacking confidence at the moment
