Outfit for my own 40th birthday. Must make me look 30, a size 10 and super cool.

It’s my 40th in a couple of weeks and DH has organised a big party. I so want to look fabulous but really don’t feel it at the moment.
I’m 5ft6 and 12 stone, generally wear 14 or a 12. My worst bits are my stomach and my upper arms.
So, what do I wear that will make me look like I’m actually 30 and two stone lighter?

That paper bag is perfect. I’ll get the kids to glue some sequins on to make it party-special. Grin

There’s some great ‘cool’ going out dresses in the all saints sale. I love this one, depends on your style

Mamamooloo, that dress looks so much better on you than on the model. I’d need a 14 I think and it’s aold out.
