Help please! I have three work black tie events coming up (the first this week) and nothing to wear... One of them I have to stand up and speak so really want to feel the part. Have developed a total obsession with the idea that a navy velvelt jumpsuit would be the thing but can't bloody find one, so not helpful.
I am 48, highlighted blonde, paleish, 5'7" and size 12. Good boobs not great waist or top of arms and long body / shortish legs (so jumpsuit maybe not best plan anyway?). I think I am soft / cool summer so not sure I should wear black - but then it can look quite striking when I do... Budget £150 ish

I also tried this on and love it (with decent spanks) but really don't think grown up enough www.nobodyschild.com/black-monika-satin-slip-maxi-dress.html
Feels like sequins would be TOO MUCH. Anyone have any of the above or better suggestions please? Oh and I can't wear heels...
