Hello Mumsnet, can you tell me what you think of this outfit? Just a weekend casual that's a bit different. Please be honest. I'm 40 if that makes a difference.

Love it ☺️

Needs some patent boots with some sort of heel

Niftythrifter · 25/02/2023 11:30

I like it

notawittyname1954 · 25/02/2023 11:48

Is it two parts. being a boring 70 year old I would probably wear them separately. I think the trousers would look good with a plain top in that colour of the band on the top. If its all in one it does look great on you. You have a good figure for it. I agree about the boot suggestion.

I think it's cute! I would struggle to find shoes for winter wear, what kind of shoes are you thinking of wearing?

Thank you. It's a bit 70s style and a bit of fun I thought. My boyfriend is not a fan at all. Still figuring out shoes for daytime wear. Currently these are the ones I'm wearing.

Do you really want honesty? You have a fantastic figure but the outfit is awful. Your age is not relevant.

Yea boyfriend thinks it's awful too 😞 I don't know why I'm drawn to it either! I'm usually a safe dresser!!

Is this it? Sorry but if it is, it's even worse from the front.

Sorry those shoes are absolutely wrong for that outfit. You look like you've pit your slippers on to take the bins out.

Shoes-wise you need a boot with a bit of a heel even if a low block, or platformish sandals/mary Janes or mules.

It's a statement outfit so you have to commit to it a bit and wear it with confidence.

sevenbyseven · 25/02/2023 12:14

Possibly with the right accessories for an event. But not with those shoes and not for casual. Although possibly as separates would work for casual - eg the trousers with a black roll neck jumper.

Agreed about the shoes.

redspottedmug · 25/02/2023 12:16

I would love it as separates but not as an outfit.
Agree you need a statement boot.

StephenDedalus · 25/02/2023 12:17

You absolutely have the figure to carry it off & sometimes it's good to wear something a little out there every once in a while. It's boring to be safe & conservative all the time

I agree though that the shoes are wrong. I agree with @sevenbyseven a block heel 70s inspired boot might work better & for casual wear I'd separate them..

Op, I love it. But yes, you need different footwear.

StephenDedalus · 25/02/2023 12:34

Yes! Wear those boots with it if you're wearing it out at night

StephenDedalus · 25/02/2023 12:35

Life is short - have fun with your clothes! If you love them & they make you happy & you're comfortable in them then why the hell not.

Thank you all for your opinions. I'll probably look back and cringe in a few years but I'm just feeling a bit adventurous right now so I'll go with it! 🥰

Click on image, download and save the image, when it's download open with "Google Photos" , click on "lens". Google then searches the image.

It's brilliant !

(Remember to delete image afterwards otherwise phone's storage is full of very random photos!)

I think it's great. Please don't get it and then wear them separately - hold your nerve. The worst that'll happen is you will look back and have a good laugh.
