Dress me for my 30th!

[thirtyflirtyandthriving]

Going out with a big gang of friends to a nice (stylish Indian) restaurant.

Budget c £100 (not including shoes or accessories) - would love to shop in John Lewis if possible as I have Christmas vouchers.

I'm tall, size 18 with big boobs. I like jewel toned stuff and nothing too baggy or floaty. Probably trousers, as not great in heels and not a fan of exposing my (enormous) calves when I'm wearing flats.

Can you make me gorgeous?

No?! Perhaps an impossible task...

Well happy birthday. 🎉

Why don't you pop along to John Lewis and have a look? :do you have trousers you like? If so you could then buy a really nice top that makes you feel great.

Sorry of that's not helpful. Didn't want to read and run.

Try the John Lewis assistants - they're actually really helpful, no pressure to buy either. They dressed me for a wedding then some casual stuff when I went again. They chose things I wouldn't have looked at plus gave me a much better bra. Happy birthday too when it comes

I can't find it on JohnLewis.com but how about this Coast top with your favourite trousers? m.coast-stores.com/p/perle-bow-cold-shoulder-top/1744660?locale=en

I like this, maybe with skinny trousers?

If they did wilbur's top blocked in Florence's colour then we'd be on a winner, I think.

I was trying to avoid having to go into JL as I hate shopping at the best of times and it's tricky with a bouncy toddler, but may just woman up and do it.

Book a personal shopper. It's free and they will sort it all for you. I had one the other week. It was really good (and I spent a fortune!)

What about this

The black top will slim your boobs.
If you have big calves I bet you've got slim ankles. Something with kitten heels.
You're 30, I'm 65... live it. It goes way too quick
Have a lovely birthday

I'd did the belt, put on a black one and let the skirt do the talking.

Oops it's navy

Thanks for all the lovely birthday good cheer!

Bowser, I love that dress but no, sadly my ankles don't in any way compensate for my calves so I'd prefer not to show my legs I think. It's exactly my taste, though.
