Got a night out at a casino with DH’s work colleagues this weekend. They’re all young and gorgeous, I’m 45, fat and frumpy.
Please can you help me find something nice to wear that won’t look too try-hard (it’s not a dressy-up glam casino but I’m sure the women will all still be making an effort, including DH’s ex wife, who is always there too and is slim, blonde and traditionally good-looking 
).
DH will always tell me I’m beautiful and doesn’t make me feel bad, so I’d be fine if I wear jeans and a nice top, but I just want to look nice so I feel more confident.
Attached headless photo - I’m 5’3” and size 18, bit of an apple, but I do have decent boobs. Hate my legs. They’re ok in tights with boots, as I have big calves. Happy in trousers/top, dress, jumpsuit whatever.
I have shoulder length black hair, usually wear red lipstick and will do my nails etc so I feel more polished.
Just don’t know where to start! I don’t have a huge budget after Xmas etc so need to keep it under £50 if possible. If you can help with some ideas I’d be eternally grateful.
