Am I going to look ridiculous?

It's my sports club Christmas party, not fancy, at a WMC although our members aren't WMC people, on the whole.

It's Christmas, I'd like to dress up a bit, although probably not strictly necessary.

I have this dress, I know its a bit middle aged try hard and dated, but it's comfy, fits well and feels good on. My shoulders are a good feature and I have decent legs. Plus I don't have time to look at other options.

I was thinking with opaque tights and chunky ankle boots, or maybe bare fake tanned legs and the chunky boots?

I give up, I'm going with this, coated jeans and trainers 🤣 I'd forgotten I own this one!

OP, life is short. Wear the dress 😉

I think a lot of the people suggesting heels or ballet flats are a bit out of touch! The magenta dress with boots would look great - go for it!

What is WMC please?

loving all the dresses btw!

Not out of touch when Vogue is saying ballet flats are in

Ballet flats are indeed back, but they’d look horrible with those dresses.

Wear your boots. It's your style
Great dress.

I'd wear it with high heeled (block rather than stiletto) studded ankle boots

I think boots sound great with your dress. It’s about what you feel good in and are comfy in. I’d wear the fancy dress and boots!!!
