day to night outfit

I am going on a city break to celebrate a friend's significant birthday, in March. I will be flying to the city for one night and am hoping to bring just an overnight bag on the flight, which will obviously restrict what I can bring. (Not a 10kg carry on-a bag that will fit under the seat in front).

Can anybody help me to put together an outfit that I can comfortably wear on the plane and also out for dinner/dancing that night?

I am 45, 5'2", size 12 on top and 10 on the bottom. I pretty much live in jeans and trainers and am not at all stylish. Pastels, light grey and similar colours do nothing at all for me, jewel colours tend to be better. I wear quite a lot of black. Things like midi dresses swamp me.

I have ugly knees, and I prefer to keep the tops of my arms covered, if not the entire arm! I am fairly slender with a bit of a jelly belly. With the right bra, my cleavage is ok.

Can those of you who are blessed with a sense of style give me some ideas? Links would be massively appreciated. My budget is high street range, I don't have a lot to spare this time of year.

Thanks for any suggestions😁

I was thinking perhaps this tweed blazer or similar, with a nice top underneath, with jeans and boots.
What do you think?
