oh God at trendy - muttonesque? I know I'm not old at 32 (don't DARE argue) but they're all younger than me and I don't want to look like an old granny trying to look young

What jeans - i am looking for nice jeans but not skinny teenage ones - RL ones

MamaG · 20/06/2007 19:07

oh good idea bout little brolly if necessary, I'd rather take that than a cardi/jacket

OP posts:
NoodleStroodle · 20/06/2007 19:07

Brolly - nooooo - you'll be getting out a pac-a-mac next!

princessmel · 20/06/2007 19:10

Sounds great. Just right.

I'm looking for a top to wear with some shorts. They're black and short!
To wear with heels.

I'm 28 size 10-12 and 5'7 ish.
Any ideas??

HenriettaHippo · 20/06/2007 19:11

MamaG. 32 is NOT OLD!!! Sounds like a great outfit, I'd wear it, and I'm 34, so well over the hill... LOL

MamaG · 20/06/2007 19:11

jeans are

bootcut
mid colour blue
sparkly bits on back pockets

bootcut are the fit for me, without a doubt

the sparkly bits add a bit of excitement
have had them a year now, but not worn much

(cringe at me taking a brolly - very uncool of me!)

MamaG · 20/06/2007 19:12

Ooops, just read we aren't meant to argue about whether 32 is old or not. Bet they all want to look sophisticated like you.

allieBongo · 20/06/2007 19:12

mama g, you'll be taking a rain hood next and some plasters in your slouch bag "just in case."

MamaG · 20/06/2007 19:12

OP posts:
MamaG · 20/06/2007 19:13

OP posts:
princessmel · 20/06/2007 19:14

I always take plasters out with me in case my shoes (or any of my friends shoes) rub!!

I went to Primark today and got some tops but only saw nice day ones. Not evening wear. I'll look in RI

NoodleStroodle · 20/06/2007 19:15

I think you are going to look lovely.
I wish I was coming with you.
I have to be corporate wife on Friday - ugh
