My turn- at last!

Going out end of the month with my fellow mature students (hurrah!). Been erm, about 4 years since i've been on a girls night out

need an outfit, not too expensive please, suits a 5'6" tall lady in her early thirties (ie me) small boobs (b cup) but great round hips. At least a nod towards funky preferable. No yellow. I know thats bizarre, just a personal thing LOL!

Pale skin, short highlighted hair, erm quite like dresses, not too high heels. Jeans dont look dressy on me.

Any suggestion please??? hard to go browing with my boys.

stitch · 07/04/2007 22:39

if you have legs that go on forever, then wear something short and show them off?????

PeachyChocolateEClair · 08/04/2007 12:38

I'd like to wear short but feel a bit old for it (33), am I not? I used to live in skirts so short that i wore bikini bottoms underneath (so when Mum said 'I can see your knockers! I could say no Mum, its nothing you cant see on the beach' LOL).

So short she could see you "knockers"! That's short!

Peachy - 4 YEARS since you've been on a girls night out?! God woman! Get yerself out there!!!!

You sound similar to me, size wise (well, what size are you?!) but I usually wear jeans, nice top, nice shoes, nice jewellery. I'm not all that adventurous!

The other thing I wear instead of jeans is cropped trousers with same sorts of tops, jewellery. In winter with boots, in summer I'm going to wear them with sandals. These are the two pairs I've bought recently and that I'll be wearing to go out in:

these

and these

this top is really nice - I'd wear that with jeans, or crops. Probably with one of those pairs of shoes and big hoop earrings or a nice pair of dangly ones (monsoon/accessorize good for those).

If you have good legs, go for a dress. That would be easy - there are loads of nice ones around but they are all short and while my legs overall are slim I hate my knees so prefer to keep them covered!

2 nice dresses on this page and the silver skirt is nice as is the silvery jacket - ooh, am tempted and off for a proper look!!

Gobbledigook · 08/04/2007 12:51

Oh buggeration. That collection isn't in yet.

Gobbledigook · 08/04/2007 12:58

this is quite nice and it's reduced

blue is very 'in' so this would look nice with jeans and big earrings

black and white also very 'this season' and this skirt is nice

Hmm, not really given you an outfit but need to do some work! Back later!

PeachyChocolateEClair · 08/04/2007 12:58

Size 14.

4 years yes, I've had loads of invites but DH always works night and they always clash. I know its sad though LOL! I used to go out a lot with my ex-bestmate but she tooke xeption when I had ds2 (DS1 was OK as a novelty) and she got rather rich and started to prefer sailing and the like.
