So...
I have a work Christmas party - it's a lunch so nothing too skimpy but want to look great! Also, more importantly I have a party involving a number of people I haven't seen for 20 years... scary!
I'm a size 10 and coming up for 40. Pudgy tummy/hips so skater style makes me look huge. I suit fitted styles better but my problem is that as I'm short they often don't fit we'll unless they are from a "petite" range. Legs are ok so happy to go short - in fact I'd prefer to as I'm increasingly aware that my years wearing short skirts are numbered :-(
I found ordered this but it's just a bit too baggy and also much too long on me (almost knee length).

Sorry for the essay! thanks so much.
Oh, also, am blond and pale-ish so don't really suit dark berry colours but love purple, the right shade of red or black (have a bit of a hankering for sparkly though!)
