I need some advice I am going on a hen night next week and havnt a clue what to wear . I usually wear jeans and a nice top with heels but were we are going is no jeans , so I am really stuck .
I am very paranoid about my weight as well so that is an issue with what I wear

I am a size 16
5ft 3
I usually wear bootcut jeans or slouch ones ( on a lazy day )
I ahve got loads of different going out tops from halterneck ones to strappy ones and a couple of long ones .
The venue is a hotel we are having a meal first then going into the nightclub
I ahve got various heels and some nice flat ballerina style shoes .

I am a very much jeans person and most of my tops are from Next , I would love to change my style but because I dont like myself I just wear what I am comfortable in .

i like most colours

I'd get a pair of bootcout trousers, maybe even flares, something like these perhaps

wear over killer heels

Are you going on the same hen night as me next weekend Sounds just like my night and I'm having the same clothes trauma too!!

Am on the hunt for some wedge sandals which nbg has been hunting for me!! Instead of jeans how about wide leg black linen trousers - that's my plan. Dorothy Perkins usually do some reasonable ones and they do a short range (I'm a shorty too )

Have fun!!
