Hello mumsnetters
I'm stuck in a rut and need some help finding an outfit for an evening. Won't be a rave/full nightclub experience but will be a few bars and dancing until early hours. I really want to look stylish and feel good.
My problem is , that I've really let myself go. I'm dieting and losing weight, currently at size 18 (from 26 in 2021) . I'm barrel shape. I have smallish boobs but a big belly, / big all around the middle quite literally I look like a barrel.
I don't have any style. Very safe usually. My last "night out" outfit was black trousers and a sparkly top but that feels so dated. Plus, I work in black trousers so want to avoid those because they won't feel special.
Budget around £200 .
Open to any ideas. Ideally avoiding pleated skirts because they just remind me of my nan . Also looking to invest in some new accessories (additional to the budget ) so I can accessorise a new outfit to complete the look.
Any ideas or recommendations plz? 🙏
