I am hoping to go out with DH in a few weeks, we have had a tough year and havnt been out just the two of us for ages.
We are hoping to go into a local city to a few nice bars.
I want to look nice, as feeling abit rubbish with everything going on 😢
I have some lovely heeled tan ankle boots i bought in the sales, but i just cant think what colours to put them with, did think black skinnies and a nice blouse? But what colour? 😨

I would wear dark blue skinnies if that is what you want to wear I like navy with tan and a blue blouse? What do you think?

Loveagoodbook · 12/02/2017 10:16

I havnt got dark blue skinnies, but could look. Ok thanks will look at blue blouses. Everthing seams to be very ruffly at the moment!!

Yes I know what you mean. Well in that case (and if you like the colour I suppose you could go for a tan blouse to go iwth the boots.. I have seen some around. But I know what you mean about ruffles. They are everywhere!

Loveagoodbook · 12/02/2017 11:34

Ok thanks, ill have a look. Ive seen a couple of nice ones (i think) on next. Thinking long sleeves, as i hate being cold!!

Loveagoodbook · 12/02/2017 13:21

I like the wrap blouse and the dress.

Loveagoodbook · 12/02/2017 15:03

Do you think the dress would go with tan boots Buster or better with black?

OP posts:
BusterGonad · 12/02/2017 15:08

I think it would go better with black but if you went for nude tights and tan boots it should still look nice. I'd wear it with tan boots.

BusterGonad · 12/02/2017 15:09

Actually as there's no black in the dress tan would look great.

Loveagoodbook · 12/02/2017 16:56

Thanks Buster, so the tan boots and nude tights?
I like this top now too! But quite like the thought of a dress as never usually wear dresses

Yes I like nude tights so much better than black. I think the nude breaks up the blockiness and looks more dressy. To me black tights are a work look! Grin

ChishandFips33 · 13/02/2017 06:49

Love the dress!!
Green goes with tan so the boots should work Smile

ChishandFips33 · 13/02/2017 06:49

Do you want to share a pic of the boots?

Loveagoodbook · 13/02/2017 07:28

Aah thanks everyone, i have ordered the dress also seen a couple of nice blue ones on Debenhams, the pic actually has tan boots with the dress on there.
Chish, i cant find them online anymore, they were an new year sale item bit very similar in colour to below, tan suede

ChishandFips33 · 13/02/2017 08:54

Lovely boots - will go great with a dress

Hope everything fits and you have a fab time with your DH

Loveagoodbook · 13/02/2017 10:08

Try oasis op, it's my favorite shop, I favor a fit and flare or skater style!

BusterGonad · 13/02/2017 11:41

These 2 are lovely and a very flattering shape. Argh I can't post them both. The other one was the Ditsy Wrap Skater. I can't post either! And one was the Spring Bouquet Skater. Really really flattering shape. Not boxy at all. Both Oasis.

Loveagoodbook · 13/02/2017 11:43

Thanks ill look shortly. I love Oasis too ☺
