I dont go out too often so always panic when i do! Going out on saturday with the girls, a few cocktail bars and then a meal.
i have a white blazer that i gave only worn once, do you think it will look ok with a silky black vest top, and black skinny trousers, abit like the picture or dark blue jeans?

OP you look a bit like Kate Moss in that pic Grin

I think that looks great.

I love a blazer and skinnies. I feel gorge. I’d go with that.

Mulberrysilk · 29/04/2018 19:03

That outfit would take you just about anywhere. It's lovely.

The thing is it’s beautiful because it’s simple and Kate moss can make anything look nice. I’d look like I was in a unform if I wore that. Grin

Is it a nice, rather expensive looking jacket? It's one of those outfits that done right will look fab, but done on the cheap will look, well, cheap.

(I'd also suggest that KM's jacket is off white or cream.)

Hi Kate. Yes you're looking as gorgeous as ever.Grin

It's all about the fit and fabrics, if they work then it's on point.

justanotheruser18 · 29/04/2018 19:40

It would look amazing!

HildaZelda · 29/04/2018 19:40

Definitely. Kate Moss is a definite style icon. You can't go too far wrong dressing like that.

littlepill · 29/04/2018 19:42

Love it! Where did you get each of the bits from? Love the satin look of the top!

IWouldLikeToKnow · 29/04/2018 19:57

If you have an outfit similar to this there is no need for the chunky heart necklace. It will take away from the simple elegance of the outing. That's why it works.

littlepill · 29/04/2018 19:58

I agree! Don't add the chunky necklace - it's too 2010!

Paintbox · 29/04/2018 20:03

Def don’t wear the necklace!

Def no necklace, but like the outfit OP

littlepill · 29/04/2018 20:17

Necklace is lovely but I think the outfit is edgier without. Nice earrings, yes but trendy ones!

I'm going to sound like my gran but give your jacket a press. It's a bit crumpled Smile

Definite no to the necklace, it looks try-hard and doesn't really go. I can't pull off that 'effortlessly smart/casual' thing at all, but I love the look. Your jacket is a bit 'workier' than Kate's though so could look a bit officey if you don't style it right.
