Brunch to Bar Outfits for Birthday

[WouldWoodchuckChuck]

I've been mothering for a good few years and have completely lost myself. I finally feel I've been getting it back recently but feel like I still dress like I did at 20 during the day (t-shirt, jeans and converse/boots).

When I go to a restaurant, I usually end up in corduroy jeans, boots and a nice blouse but I feel like it's aging me.

I'm in my early 30s.

No idea what to wear for my birthday where the plan is to go out to a bar after. I'd like something that says it's an occasion.

All suggestions welcome!

Budget?

Mainstream?
And budget?

Similar age and I find jeans and trousers tricky because everything needs a looser silhouette now, and I'm still finding that hard to do well. My go-to would be a midi/midaxi slip skirt (or dress) with a loose fitting t-shirt and either trainers or knee high kitten heeled leather boots (depending how dressy you want to be), or a loose fitting t-shirt or jumper with a leather mini skirt, black tights and chunky boots.

How about a jumpsuit? Can be dressed up or down.
Or a long denim skirt there's lots around at the minute

Budget - under £200

No preference on dress/skirt/trousers but I'm not comfortable with my legs out and often wear tights.

I'm open to trying any styles.

My go to atm is jeans, boots, a cami and a colourful blazer with a nice bag and jewellery.

What dress was it? The link didn't work.

@innerdesign knee high boots sound like a good idea!
