<big sigh> All the Scottish MNers are going to think I am an enormo-frump

[Prunie]

I HATE all the eveningy sort of clothes in the shops. I just hate them. They might look good on other people but they are so NOT ME. I looked hideous in the 80s when I was a skinny rake so i am not going to look much better in the same clothes now I am a 14.
I really want to wear jeans to the meet-up.
But since it seems to be not on, pleeeeeeeze help me, what can I wear?
I don't do sleeveless on acct of fat arms and also I get freezing cold. I do not do metallic or sequins. I like Fat Face and White Stuff but have no idea how to dress for the evening.
HELP
(PS I have a pair of black ankle-strap high heels if that helps.)

what about a pair of black trousers (Gap do several styles) and a nice top?

just wear jeans! and you are not an enormo frump but i am liking that expression sounds like something out of winnie the pooh. what clothes do you like wearing apart from jeans?

I would like to wear jeans too Prunie.

Here's us at the meet up

Oh thank god Pruni. I am fruitlessly looking for something to wear. Realised I had nothing since before dd1 .

Black jeans, high heels and glam top and you will look fab

Much as I'm not a fan of Victoria Beckham she said once that women look best in jeans and a top.

Mind you, I think they have to be good jeans, a sexy top and high heels.

Wear the jeans - I would.

how about something like this

Prunie this is what came up on google images under frump

Nothing under enormo-fru,p though.

Seriously though, we need to stop pissing around and help Prunie.

And me. Because I am hopeless at this clothes malarky too....

Damnit Goat thats mine

you could always wear a different hat icarus.

Do wear jeans if that's what you want - or maybe black trousers? And a top like this?

Wear jens if its what you are comfy in. My pal is about an 16/18 (likes to think shes a 10/12 though) and she wears black skinny jeans and looks fab in them. Honestly!

Another possibility?

If you will feel happier/comfier in jeans wear them. There's no law to say you have to wear a dress or owt.

Was gonna wear jeans too but friend persuaded me to buy a dress and i am shitting myself now. I just don't do dressing up lol

Oooooh, look. I'll be wearing my fancy new Christmas name.

OK, wrt JackieNoel's top there - isn't that a bit of a day top?
I truly don't know how to do evening things. I keep looking at lovely things in shops and thinking - but that's for the daytime. I basically don' know what the difference is except, atm, spangles, metallic fabric, sequins or hideous knitted gold sweaters.
Or doesn't it matter?

pruni wear your jeans, your gorgeous smile is what people notice. i really mean it.

oh naily you always say the right thing!
I will go shopping
I have to admit if jeans are "allowed" it is a huge stress off, unless someone can come up with £££ and a personal shopper.....

You are SO not an enormo-frump, Prunie!

I am a frump, a bit
I know I'm not enormo
but enormously frumpy, sometimes.....
I really like my jeans and DH's sweater ....... now that I pleat in the middle

Pruni there's no point wearing something not you, you won't be comfortable or be able to relax. I think jeans can look great with a nice top and shoes. (And I am sure you are not an enormo-frump!)

Prunie - do you want to meet up and go shopping?
