Frumpy 44 first work Xmas party please help?

[Ladyofc42]

44, just got back to work( my baby is 6years!), invited to Xmas party,bar\restaurant. Have nothing to wear. Colleagues all young but lovely. Hate my legs,unbelievable chunky calves.any suggestions for outfit???? Please, don't want to look like oldest granny out for the night , need help 😁

Unless with silky top and heeled sandals.

If you fancy trying a jumpsuit, get thee to M&S for their black star one - bake-off Nadia wore it on Jonathan Ross show in Saturday.
I've got the navy polka-dot version and it's surprisingly flattering on a fuller figure.

Or, smart jeans (black, dark blue or pleather) with a nice top will be as smart as the LBD others are wearing, especially with hair / make-up etc done. I've gone a bit OTT with animal print tops this year 😍

Accentuate the bits you do like at the moment, that's an instant confidence boost. But acknowledge we're only worried about something - including your colleagues!

Enjoy

You must be younger than me then I'd look like I'd literally forgotten to change my bottoms after yoga

What about something like this?

PouchofDouglas: you're a tough nut but u are wise! ;) Hair, brows and nails I can sort, I have spotted some jumpsuits I like, genuinely I would not be comfortable showing my calves, they are mahoosive, always have been since about age 12. i do like the skirt from M and S tho!

Thanks for all the suggestions, a bit of me time and me shopping is on the cards!

Black tuxedo from Zara. Looks more expensive than it is, glam but cool.
