I mean for going for a informal meal in a local pub (not a fancy gastropub) or a Chinese/Indian mine for a family birthday. Mid 40s size 16 pear/hourglass shape.
I'd put a dress and boots on and asked dh if it was 'too much" (knee length ditsy print pink and black tiered) as I thought it might be and he agreed. I wore a denim dress in the end and it was fine but roasted! Looking round everyone (under 60) was in 'jeans and a nice top' which I find so hard as jeans are uncomfortable and I have tummy pouch in concious of.
In summer I'd wear a midi skirt and t shirt.
I know some people will say wear what I feel comfortable in but honestly there is nothing makes me feel more uncomfortable than feeling conspicuous!
What would you wear?
