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??!

They are good too.

The black and white patterned top, over leggings or skinny jeans (they're everywhere) and some ballet pumps.

No Le Bon - one is the Nephew of Yas, I believe. Plus sons of Roger and Andy.

when is this event? what shops can you visit first?

b/w stripy appears no 3 on your 'my pics'

hermykne · 08/07/2007 22:18

its not that hard to do fake tan
but an exfoliator and have a bath/shower with it! then applythe tan, and get a face cloth and rub over your elbows, ankles, tops of your feet , anywhere bony and you ll look fab,
recommend roc fake tan or otigins (very very subtle)

fashiongurusplease · 08/07/2007 22:20

Event is Tuesday! Just time for one quick grab and buy shopping trip before then. Eek! Have given the pics names now for clarity!

You could get a professional tan done. Make sure you wear a good bra and knickers too!

Rumpel · 08/07/2007 22:24

Would not reccommend you try a fake tan at home unless you are well practised. A fake tan disaster the day before will ruin your night and you sound nervous as it is. Practise after the event for next time.

Rumple - I should be so lucky!

I'm off to get some much needed beauty sleep - so i don't need to chop my head off in the party pictures too lol! Thanks for all the ideas so far. I will check back in the morning so all (nice! ha ha) comments/brainwaves gratefully received!

Should be able to make it to all the usual high street shops in time, btw.

I have had spray tans done before. It looks good

Aitch · 08/07/2007 22:37

b\w over skinny jeans with pumps for comfort if walking around a lot. wear lots of sets of beads, all different. i'm loving that at the mo.

aimeesmummy · 08/07/2007 22:39

I would wear the top with black leggings and either ballet pumps or killer heels. And def not the cardi!

fashiongurusplease · 08/07/2007 23:03

ooh thanks for that, MotherFunk - that's really helpful. I'll give it a go round the shops tomorrow - I did want to try for something a bit more funky and different to what I normally wear. That's not to say I don't appreciate everyone else's input - if I can't pull off funky I can use some of the other suggestions - heels etc. Ta v much, all.

OP posts:
Aitch · 08/07/2007 23:06

seriously, the boots look terrible with all of the outfits. i don't care how old or how cool MotherFunk is, it's not winter out there as of yesterday. you'll feel like someone's mum in boots. (although they are nice boots, i should stress).

TnOgu · 08/07/2007 23:15

lol @ Aitch

purpleduck · 08/07/2007 23:19

Agree about the "no boots". I would wear a fab pair of flipflops instead. But thats just me!! Love the flowery
But you know what, even if you have the best outfit in the world, if you are not comfy in it, that will show. Be yourself!!! Be comfy!!! Crikey girl, you have a killer bod, I think no matter what you wear, heads will turn!

filthymindedvixen · 08/07/2007 23:39

I hate the flowery. But there y' go.

mamama · 08/07/2007 23:45

I like it.

You look great.

Although perhaps it depends on your age (or how young you look)
