It's for dinner and drinks, thinking of nude shoes, it's to highlight some weight loss size 18- to size 14!
Smile I'm also 5ft 7 and I'm a pear with excellent boobs!

gingerbreadmam · 20/03/2015 20:03

just to add (can tell i love shopping) my friend just bought these nude shoes

m.missselfridge.com/h5/product?productId=18230462

they are amazing! i was sure the heel was rose gold altho doesnt look it here and doesnt say. but if ur after some nude shoes on trend (snakeskin) these are amazing. i am told river island have a clutch that matches perfectly will try and hunt it down now you know, just incase.

this i the clutch i think

www.riverisland.com/women/bags--purses/clutch-bags/Cream-large-asymmetric-zip-clutch-660821

although in all fairness theres a few on river island with that colour and print.

mike if its a proper night out as in pubs bars clubs or a party i wouldnt bother with blazer.

Pippin8 · 20/03/2015 20:15

Ooh I'm excited for you. There is no better feeling than knowing you look hot.

Your right! That looks far better on you than in the original post! I have to say I was ready to say nooo don't buy, then buried my head in my scarf when I saw you'd ordered it! But actually it looks lovely on you! Enjoy your evening!

PurpleDaisies · 20/03/2015 20:52

I think it really suits you. You've got a proper bombshell figure and you'll be turning heads for all the right reasons.

Well done on the weight loss and have a fantastic evening.

hauntedhenry · 20/03/2015 21:52

Congratulations on the weight loss, Mike. I'm glad you've found something you feel good in!
I would wear it with a little cropped cardi and skip the statement necklace and go for something delicate.
Have a great night.

burnishedsilver · 20/03/2015 22:15

wow. That dress looks a whole lot better than I was expecting. I think the dreadful styling on the website put me off. Have a great night :-)

QueenBean · 20/03/2015 22:52

That website is hysterical. Nothing says "quaint" like patchy fake tan, oversized lashes, painted on eyebrows and duck lips

... queen that is hysterical.

Mike I love the dress. You have great cleavage and gorgeous skin & really do look like a bombshell.

Also fallen in love with that black asos dress Queen Good find!

MikeTheShite · 21/03/2015 06:23

I had to share this, it's self explanatory but it made me giggle.

new model

Sorry, all I can see is your tummy (I am a size 18 so not judging) just being honest, it is not flattering.

LastUnicorn · 21/03/2015 09:58

You look stunning OP. Hope you have a great night and if that guy doesn't faint with desire then he is an idiot

MikeTheShite · 21/03/2015 10:30

I don't know what to think now? I think with spanx it will be okay

OP posts:
LastUnicorn · 21/03/2015 10:39

mike do you have a tkmaxx near you? They do brilliant shapewear and sometimes have realy spanx for only £10-£20. I bought a pair of shapewear shorts and I can't even feel them on but I instantly look more streamlined.
I genuinely think you look great in that dress and hope no one has hurt your feelings. I have similar dresses and I'm a 14 and I know I look good in them, they are sexy and feminine.

icklekid · 21/03/2015 10:41

If you look in the mirror and feel good that is all that matters! Have a good time Smile I think the selfie angle probably doesn't help. Go show off your weight loss!

gingerbreadmam · 21/03/2015 11:13

also when you stick heels on it pulls you in a bit. shapewear will help too. as everyone else is saying if you feel good thats the main thing.

also the main focus of that pic is your tummy area if it was front on and full length it would look a lot different.

i dont think its a bloke thing to look at a woman and see a tummy im sure theyre more interested in other body parts haha!

MikeTheShite · 21/03/2015 19:32

Thank you everyone, well I have it on!! And I've got structured undies on!!
