Linus and Blingy I will take your advice. Unfortunately I went through a very unstylish style & beauty phase when a lot of my purchases were similar to this or very "mumsy" Hobbs stuff. I'm trying to refind my mojo. I'm approaching my 56th birthday and am 12/14 with a very flabby menopausal shape. I'm struggling to find my waist again and think I'm prob on the wrong chat thread but I love reading about all the fab outfits on here.

Right, I have a Sunday night challenge for you all....I'd like you all to suggest me a dress...I'd be really intetested to see what you'd put me in for an evening in vegas. My personal budget would be around £100 but you can suggest more expensive ones as I just want an idea of styles you'd choose for me.....

dream you're on exactly the right thread. Most of us have lost out mojo at some point. I'm only early 40s and already have the softening around the middle.

Dream of course you are most welcome here

Queenc hmm finding it tough, might need a steer. Remind me you can do black and cobalt? And what are the other winter colours? And also what's your best dress shape is it young and girlish?

Carven

Wild card Markus Lupfer

Not in budget, but if not completely on wrong path, will look for others.

Dreamqueen · 31/01/2016 18:19

Queen C this would be my choice www.theoutnet.com/en-GB/product/Helmut-Lang/Draped-stretch-satin-jersey-mini-dress/656179 but i guess it depends on what you were planning to do on the evening. BTW I could never wear this dress, I've got too many lumps & bumps, it's an aspirational buy.

MarshaBrady · 31/01/2016 18:19

Thanks Lara, I'm looking at a tote. It's not my colour and not sure, will think about it some more and link

MarshaBrady · 31/01/2016 18:20

Oh that's nice Dream more Vegas than my two!

AmberNectarine · 31/01/2016 18:24

dream I lost my mojo so badly after having DD that I was often to be found wearing a floral maxi skirt from White Stuff. Nothing wrong with that in itself but I was 26 and a floral maxi skirt is just about as far from my personal style as a garment can be...

You're in the right place.

Queen will get the kids in bed then have a peruse...

AmberNectarine · 31/01/2016 18:25

Gosh, I love that HL dress, and it's my size..:

Dreamqueen · 31/01/2016 18:26

Marsha i love your choices. I couldn't wear /afford either but can still admire from afar.

Drywhitethanks · 31/01/2016 18:31

Dream STAY!!!! This is the place to get your mojo.Smile

Ok, a HUGE U turn on the MD cream top. It is lovely and perfect , but not on me Sad just too big, swamps me really and a size 8 I don't look great in oversized stuff, I just look oversized Shock so I'm being sensible and it's going back.

QueenC I'm having a look

Drywhitethanks · 31/01/2016 18:35

Your DH would love this one queenC

Drywhitethanks · 31/01/2016 18:39
