What to wear!

Help!

I’m going out for my husbands friends 40th birthday drinks. It involves going to London and a bit of a pub crawl. Starts late afternoon, will finish late at night. What do I wear?? I want to be comfy but look nice. It’s my first proper ‘out’ since I had my baby 11 months ago.

I’m nearly 40, 5ft 10 and size 16.

It's that awkward not to dressy/ not scruffy thing also not too try hard or like I'm going to work.

Assuming in the next few weeks with cooler weather I'd wear a plain dh dress, tights and boots and nice coat

I get really hot so a jumper dress wouldn't work for me but might for you

Or Jean and a nice top?

It’s London so anything goes, my best advice is to err in the side of underdressed and to wear flats.

Send some of your outfit ideas to us and I’m sure we can advise between us.

Thanks both! I like the idea of a jumper dress as can dress up or down with accessories etc.

I do have a really nice new pair of wide legged jeans so thought them but not sure of top/shoes??

I think your wide legged jeans would be perfect. Check the weather report prior to going to decide on coat. A nice shirt and waistcoat or a merino wool jumper would be perfect for underneath. Flat shoes or boots.

have fun!
