33 year old going to hen night next weekend and don't want to feel 'mumsy'

[FrazzledFairyFay]

Please help me - I'm 33, size 20, 5ft 11. I'm going to a hen night in Nottingham next weekend, and am the only Mum going. We're going for dinner, then cocktails and then onto a 'cheesy' club. I really don't know what to wear. I'm desperate not to feel too 'mumsy' or 'frumpy'. I don't even know what people wear to going clubbing anymore, as it's been so long - are jeans acceptable?

Does anyone have any ideas?

fairy, the top you have bought is lovely....can you post a link on here and hopefully someone will have some advice for you.

It's best to ask the hen what sort of dress code the club has. Do you know it's name, we could google it?

I'm very of your height, FFF!

I think the important thing is to feel happy and yourself while still glam! I occasionally go to a cheesy club for a dance and there's a real mixture of outfits. Don't feel that you have to show off too much flesh to look fabulous.

This would look fab with black footless tights and is in stock in a 20.

If you prefer patterns, how about this?

some clubs are ok with jeans some arent

if its a tacky student venue then it probably is ok, but id check

other wise

if you want to wear trousers

trousers
top

LBD

star print dress

these trousers are lvoely

wiht this top?

saw this dress today

another dress

any of those any good?

Nottingham can be quite fussy on dress codes, you are safer with black trousers really. Depends where you are going.

Hey NP should have got you to dress me for tonight lol.

You are very good at this!!

Just dn't wear a cardigan, like I'm always tempted to. You can do it when you are 19, but once you are over 25, cardigans look too apt.

agalch i am jiust back from town

we should ahve met up

oh god no dont wear a cardi

ok on a 19 yr old in ibiza with nightie dress and bugger all else

but not on a 33 yr old in nottingham unfort.

black trousers
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I wasn't in town NP.Just down at McArthur Glen and i got bugger all. I may not come at this rate

yes yes I know. But very safe, and a good frame for a very snazzy top. Depends on built.

At 5'11 I would wear a skirt and get those lovely pins out tbh

pull yourself together! go and have a gin and orange! then you wont care and you will come in your baffies

yes i agree with colditz get those loooooooong legs out

the leopard print dress i linked i saw in dp today - its v v v v nice

Haha yeah chance would be a fine thing. Will have a drink when DH gets home from work at 5.30 and then get dressed with my eyes closed.

I may have to wear black trews tho so be warned!!

just ignore me and my fashion nitpicking. wear what you like! i have 3 pairs of black breeks

I love, love, love that Oli tunic top. Shame its not back in for 2 weeks.

High-heels are a must. If there's one way to de-mummify instantly its a good pair of heels. Sod comfort, you can take your pumps in a bag for the homeward journey.

BTW, only some sizes aren't in stock on that tunic.

How about this one? with leggings and boots?

wedges

i like those shoes foxy!

everything i like on Oli's website is out of stock

Thanks for all the help everyone, sorry to start the thread and run away . I will have a good look at everything now.

this is the top i have bought and we are going here. Dress is smart casual

but i can take the top back if i find something better. I am all of a confusion!

would the evans trousers nailpolish linked go well?

Thr trousers might go but having looked closely at the top, I think some dark brown ones would be best.

I love all the other suggestions, particularly the Oli tops. Unfortunately the first is out of stock for two weeks and the second only goes up to a size 14 . I really like the idea of a smock top, leggings and boots but really not sure that I can carry it off, as I am too 'lumpy' . I might give it a go though and will look for some more.

Shoes/boots are a big issue as well as I'm a size 9/10.
