Help! Meeting family for first time on Friday and need new clothes!

[FireFaerie]

I found the perfect black trousers on Evans.com but they wont send out next day delivery... cant find replacements ANYWHERE! I was thinking bootleg black trews with a v-neck sweater dress, but cant find any in my size that do next day. am running out of time, can any style gurus help?

What size do you need, FireFaerie?

Ahh, that would help, wouldnt it? 24 ideally in the trousers, and 22 or 20 in the top. Am open to other ideas, but im so tall, thats the issue. Was trying to find a link to the ones i found.. Sorry, thank you

"thesewww.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=20554&s toreId=12553&categoryId=105396&parentcategoryrn=92492&productId=592167&langId=-1here"

why won't they send next day? you might get a branch to do it but will have to hurry or they won't have time.

Just found my Bio Dad, have met him once before, and am meeting my half brothers, and step mum for the first time. Im 23 so want to look youthful but not tarty.

Evans apparently are having an overhaul on their system and wont be able to deliver until at least monday. Nearest Evans is about 70 miles from me. Might have to take the trip anyway Customer services woman was VERY unhelpful.

Having a gander around Next now, Thank you TMMJ.
Am very nervous! Its the half brothers i'm the most nervous about. Aged 17 and 12. I want to look 'hip' enough to be looked apon as a cool sister, but not too 'hip', its a very uncomfortable grey area.

Does Grey go with Black?... For instance these with black boots and a black sweater?

thanks, hadnt thought of that. shiny = bad

Yes tall too, afraid so. I love the top in that last link and those trousers are nice, cant get the first link though?

About the same as me then. I like to tell myself 'it helps to spread out the weight too'

What about LongTallSally?

ok, i think im going to brave the shops tomorrow, but want to know more or less what im going for. Il head to Next and Evans so far i think. Feel free to chuck ideas my way still, TMMJ. Youve been very helpful! and most importantly, calming!

Long Tall Sally think im too fat. Im a redhead so Greens, Black, Grey, some oranges, erm... yellow, and my favourite colour is purple. All ive sorted is my black boots.

monsoon? jolly good if smaller up top than bottom. very nice derssses too and only have to buy one thing.

Oooh, hadnt thought of monsoon. Im not sure i look good in dresses though...

just got to get the right shape. work out your narrowest part and emphasis that. no chunky knits.
