Would you go out dressed like this?!

I am going to the Launch Party for a band's new single at a swanky London Nightclub (but it is early evening). The band (boys) are in their early twenties... I am not .

I have put a photo in my profile (gallery?) you should be able to see it if you click on my nickname. With accessories (thinner thighs would be good) could I go in this outfit??!

ditch the boots.

get some strappy heels!

southeastastra · 08/07/2007 21:33

the flowery one is nice but stand up straight!

DoubleBluff · 08/07/2007 21:33

I like the 2nd dress teh best but not with boots.
Some nice sandals and fake tan would be better.
You have a great figure show it off!

ZZMum · 08/07/2007 21:34

love the first dress ... looks great you have great figure and it shows it off better.. maybe belt it with a wide belt to show you off enen more?

i don't htink the dark tights/ boots combo is good in july, i know it is cold but still not actulaly snowing. what other possibliities for bottom half?

Nbg · 08/07/2007 21:35

right

for the love of god do not wear outfit 1 or 2 and dont wear any of them with them boots.

Outfit 2, no tights, sandals or shoes to match a colour on the dress.

Sorry for being harsh but you had a bunch of pansies replying so far

(am a nice person, honest)

fransmom · 08/07/2007 21:36

agree with doublebluff

lisad123 · 08/07/2007 21:36

like the flower dress but would need black high heels, strappy ones.

Id wear the stripy one - the flowery one is a bit mumsy, with a black wide cincher belt, black denims and funky shoes - wedges or straps. Big chunky necklace or black and white big long beads.

fashiongurusplease · 08/07/2007 21:37

Thank you for all your totally conflicting advice (well I did ask! )

I can try the strappy sandals when I get back to my own place, and I promise to get those shoulders back! The boots just seemed tempting given all the rain/puddles around recently - noticed a lot of pics of celebs out in their ugg boots with skirts recently! (plus I have a filthy great bruise on leg!).

If you deffo want to wear boots the black and white one is the best. Ditch the cardi and get some funky beads and earings.

The other dresses are nice but too summery for those heavy boots, what about some cool tights (I'm thinking coloured here) and some of this seasons hot platforms?

lisad123 · 08/07/2007 21:43

I think the general idea is, not the boots, and not the cardi. Show off your legs

fashiongurusplease · 08/07/2007 21:49

So, as someone who has never owned a pair of skinny jeans before, are they still in the shops - and where's the most likely place to get some in a hurry? (if I go down that route).

OP posts:
Nbg · 08/07/2007 21:50

and you must mention the band

fashiongurusplease · 08/07/2007 21:51

Black and white stripe dress would not be decent with just my knicks under! LOL!

fashiongurusplease · 08/07/2007 21:53

Band is The Electric City - it's got some Duran sprogs and a nephew in it. I can stalk two generations at once

OP posts:
FrayedKnot · 08/07/2007 21:55

What kind of music is it?

Nbg · 08/07/2007 21:55

pmsl at duran sprogs

Ahhhhhh Duran Duran.
They used to be my imaginary friends when I was younger according to my mum

DoubleBluff · 08/07/2007 21:57

Duran sprogs!
Now I feel really old.
Let us know how it went.

DrNortherner · 08/07/2007 21:57

Skinny jeans in all the shops still.

fashiongurusplease · 08/07/2007 21:58

Here they are...

Rumpel · 08/07/2007 21:59

OOOOOhhh - Duran Duran - I used to carry a tiny picture of Simon with me at all times and stare at his visage to help me through the day. The innocence of youth eh? Tee hee Why dont you google for skinny jeans - sales on just now. Next does them online.

DoubleBluff · 08/07/2007 22:00

Ooh they're cute. Any Le Bons in there?

Rumpel · 08/07/2007 22:01

Hmm they look older than 20ish!
