I'm the wrong side of 35, a size 12 & carry my weight around my hips as you can see!!
I generally feel crap about my size, but am going out at the weekend & want to look good.

I have got toned arms & quite perky DD's, so that's something at least. I will be wearing a jacket & jewellery. I have a bright yellow blazer & a nude pink blazer.

Is it this one OP?

Sorry to be a pest Blush

Pippin8 · 17/05/2017 17:45

Yep it's that one.
These are the jackets & shoes. The flatter ones don't really go & I do need a bit of height.

You look FAB. It seems a pity to hide any of your top half in a jacket, I am worried it will hide your neat waist and make the outfit look a lot less funky? I was wondering about a little wrap or cardi or something instead?

WipsGlitter · 17/05/2017 17:58

I'm going against the grain and saying no. Not because of your figure (which is fab) but I think the tapered leg is a bit frumpy.

blue2014 · 17/05/2017 17:59

Oh my god, you look amazing (like I would turn around in the street to look at you)

Closed toe shoes best

Pippin8 · 17/05/2017 18:11

Mm, yes about the tapered leg, it also makes my thighs look bigger than they are.
And yes to the jackets, both hide my waist.

What to do?
One thing's for sure, I am not wearing skinny jeans & a nice top.

Wear the jacket when outside and take it for when inside.

Add some chunky jewellery and a bold lip if you like it.

I would probably get higher wedge shoes. The tapered leg doesn't work with the open toes shoes.

Honestly, you look amaze-balls please wear this (with pride!)

Anonymous1112 · 17/05/2017 18:30

I love it and would so wear it if I had your figure.

WhataHexIgotinto · 17/05/2017 18:43

I hate jumpsuits so was all set to say no but bloody hell that really suits your shape and you look fab!

I'd go for the yellow jacket too and def high shoes. Have you got any high strappy sandals?

ThierryEnnui · 17/05/2017 18:45

I think it looks fantastic on you.

Yellow jacket and open toed shoes gets my vote.

Oblomov17 · 17/05/2017 18:48

The jumpsuit looks fab, cracking figure. The court shoes look better because they are streamline, the strappy shoes don't look right because they have sticky out bits that detract from the smoothness of the jumpsuit. Would you consider sparkly shoes?
I love both jackets, but fear it will cover you up too much.

MikeUniformMike · 17/05/2017 19:14

You look lovely. It looks just as smart as a dress but a bit more glamourous.

EleanorRigbysNeice · 17/05/2017 19:17

Definitely. Looks good!

TheMasterNotMargarita · 17/05/2017 19:19

Yay. It's looks great.
I would be wary of the yellow jacket I always think black and yellow together looks like a bee, sorry!
I'd go for a higher open toed shoe, something metallic or sparkly, the pale jacket and a sparkly or metallic bag.
Or the higher shoes you have are fine too.

Pippin8 · 17/05/2017 19:32

I have these, but they are so high & hard to walk in. Otherwise I have nude kitten heels & they look awful. Maybe I need to invest in some new ones.

I was prepared to say no, it you look really good. Am a bit jealous at your figure actually! Blush

TheMasterNotMargarita · 17/05/2017 19:43

Those are lovely.
Taxi shoes.
Do you need to be able to walk far GrinWink?

Tanfastic · 17/05/2017 19:48

Lovely op.

I vote yellow jacket and open toes (high heels not low). I think the court would look too office-ey .

cakeandeatit · 17/05/2017 19:50

Also came on thinking jumpsuits always look wrong. But I'm wrong. You look fabulous! Either blazer but definitely open for sandals. Have fun!

Squashit · 17/05/2017 19:51

I am going to go against the grain and say no. You do have a nice shape but the material of that will mean every lump and bump will show. It reminds me of a the sort of thing Coleen Nolan wears.

Much better stuff out there. Structured , wider legged trousers would look nicer.

caffeinequick · 17/05/2017 19:53

Looks amazing!

TerfwithaNerf · 18/05/2017 10:38

Just want to say thanks OP - my jumpsuit arrived this morning and I love it.

So comfortable and flattering. Going to wear it on my birthday night out this weekend Smile.
