Date at the beach

[srtajuanita]

This one has got me foxed. Next Saturday, champagne picnic at the beach then out for cocktails.

I want to look pretty but casual. I have thunder thighs, so jeans are a bit of a disaster. Age 40, size 18, pear shape if that helps.

Thanks

Pretty, flowy, casual summer dress (not too short)

And not too floaty in case of a strong sea breeze ( and I don't mean the cocktail!)
Enjoy!

I'm wondering if I can get something in the sale at East or Debenhams.

I'd do a maxi dress or if thats not your style, a summer dress of any style youre comfy in. Wedge or other nice sandals, bring flip flops or other beach shoes for confort.

this is pretty

another maxi

would this be too short or too fussy?

Ooooh I love the long black maxi. Is black a bit much for the beach? It's in my basket - thank you!

tto kaftanny?

It is rather kaftany - I like to show off my shape but not my legs.

YAY! first time I have ever made a suggestion and someone likes one of them! :)

I don't think that the black maxi is too much for the beach - of course it depends on what you team it up with. Flip flops or sandals. Perhaps a cardigan - black might be too heavy. Maybe pale blue or orange.

orange cardigan

Are you something to do with fashion in real life, Not? You have a great eye.

Don't do wedges for a beach, unless you can do an attractive hobble over sand.

Whitstable - I think it's pebbley? Himself reckons it's romantic ....

Not at all, Srt! I am as unfashion conscious as can be! And a very tired sized 22, 49 year old! :D

You've missed your calling.

Debenhams actually has a lot of pretty dresses, I'm surprised.

:) I hope your date goes well and you find what you need.

Whitstable is pebbly. If your picnic takes place at low tideish there is a lovely shingle bank in Tankerton called 'The Street' which you can both wander along.

Have a lovely time My only reservations regarding the wearing of a maxi is that you may trip.

Not those maxis are perfect in my opinion. With flip
Flops

Thanks for the tips here - weather looks unhelpful so far, 21 degrees but may or may not rain!

Don't really want to spend day in the pub either, he's booked Oyster place for supper.

Thanks again x

How did it go, Srtajuanita??
