A really pretty silky cami with some lace trim, a blazer, heels and a good bag would look great.

Following! Can anyone link to a good blazer for a short hourglass? (sorry to jump on, op)

Cantbearsed73 · 18/09/2018 22:17

Looking for inspiration too! I’m fed up with my skinny jeans

Loveagoodbook · 19/09/2018 07:23

I've been considering buying a black leather pencil skirt for a while now for this exact reason. I havent found the right one though. Otherwise, have you considered faux/leather leggings instead of black skinnies? I also think at night most ppl dont notice what you wear on your bottom half anyway and youre better off focusing on getting some great tops if you feel most comfortable in skinnies.

I am yearning for a black floral midi dress from the Kooples for going out (I'm a slim 40). It's a bit ££ though.

I have a black corduroy dungaree dress. Can be dressed up or down.

Thanks foe your replies.
I have this cami that i love, but i think it maybe too summery for end of September!

With a jacket that will look lovely.

I’m going midi pleated skirt and boots this weekend, with a silk top and leather jacket. Lots of friends last weekend in midi dresses or leopard print numbers as well as jumpsuits. Posh town bar if that helps..

Loveagoodbook · 19/09/2018 20:21

I have seen a couple of pleated skirts that have caught my eye

I love that Cami too, where did you get it if you can remember?

I'd wear that with indigo (or white skinnies in warmer weather) and a navy blazer, and of course the obligatory high boots.

I'm out on a rare night out this weekend and am contemplating wearing a brightly coloured maxi dress with dark denim fitted jacket and pink converse type shoes. I'm 37, 5'9" and pear shaped. Not sure if it'll work though...too casual?

That cami is definitely not too summery for Autumn Smile

Loveagoodbook · 20/09/2018 06:55

Thanks Bluntness it was from Oasis, i love Oasis clothes.
Misty 9, i thought the same i have a striped maxi dress, but its rather thin, so would probably freeze in it! 😂

That is such a pretty top Op, I would pick out one of the colours in in and wear a skirt in that colour (not teal as that would be too much). Shoes and jacket (wrap, blazer) in one of the other colours and good to go.

I would also wear an understated and simple necklace/earring set. Nothing fussy as the top has enough going on in it, so a pair of diamond studs and a solitair pendant type thing.

Have a fab evening Wine

Bluntness100 · 20/09/2018 10:45

Sadly they don't have it anymore, but you're right, there is some lovely stuff on there. I'd forgotten all about them.

Holidayshopping · 20/09/2018 10:51

I always wear skinnies-though dark blue jeans, not black. Boots/heels and usually a lacy top.

Loveagoodbook · 20/09/2018 17:34

Thanks. The top is on my list with blue skinnies and navy blazer.
I have just ordered this top too also from Oasis!

OP where is your navy blazer from please? I am after one, not too pricey.

SymbollocksInteractionism · 20/09/2018 20:04

On my last night out (friends garden party so casual) I wore a khaki pencil skirt, long sleeve leopard body, khaki converse hi tops and fishnets. I'm going out on Saturday to a birthday party and I'm wearing a faux leather midi skirt, skinny rib top with burnt orange coloured heels (not sure what tights yet)

Loveagoodbook · 20/09/2018 20:04

Its a few years old now. But i dont wear that often, it was from River Island
