Desperately need help :). I'm a terrible shopper and my standard outfit is black skinny jeans and slightly dressy top to most semi casual events. I'm going to a gig in January and really want to wear something different. I have in my head a lycra mini skirt ( mid 90s vibe), black tights and what on top?? Any tips on what to where to get a mini skirt and what kind of top or is this horribly outdated? I'm 5ft 3 inches, size 10, figure looks best in fitted dresses and mid 40s...

I think we need to know what band you are to see? And is it a date or just a night with friends?

Oh just a small gig, indie band. With friends... But I'd like to use the outfit again for similar nights. Need a break from skinny bloody jeans!

Also, I wondered if I could dress down the skirt during the day with a jumper - for work.

Cropped ish jumper and leather jacket?

I quite like batwing or kimono sleeve tops. What are you wearing on your feet? Doc Martens or something similar?

Agree with pp on cropped-ish jumper and leather jacket.

Or what about getting a (p)leather skirt, saw a nice one recently, might have been Hollister...

Yes DMs or similar. I found this skirt on Hollister, not leather but quite like it. Will look at bat wing tops and croppish jumpers

Oversized blazer would also look good with that skirt and DMs.

SilkFred had some nice tops recently I think. I'm also an All Saints fan but they are quite pricey.

TooMinty · 30/12/2021 11:57

I like the skirt 😊

Off shopping this afternoon so will see how I get on. Thanks for the ideas!
