Is anybody up for a skirt challenge? must be able to get hold of it by tmw..

[MascaraOHara]

I've been invited to dinner tomorrow night and I know the person will be making a big effort.

I feel like I also need to make an effort and probably throw on a skirt.. so far he's only seen me in jeans.

I promised myself I wouldn't buy any blothes this month so don't want to spend a fortune and want to go for an 'effortless' yet perfect look

It is at his swanky pad so not too over dressed. Maybe something I can turn up in heels in then kick them off and look effortlessly sexy in bare feet lol

Is that a tall order? I'm off to search web now.

erm.. no budget, scrap that bit. sod it.. sorry was off searching.. will have a look through those links now

I can't really do 'poof-y'

or floral.. I'm tall and probably athletic built but have bum hips and tits lol.. can't wear high waists as I look like a duck..

have good calves so thinking of something knee length maybe or just above..

just been off searching.. so far I've found

this maybe I have a grey fluffy short sleeved jumper that I could maybe wear with it?

could wear this to work as well

bit too dressy? not sure how I could dress it down a bit

might be too short

with brown heels and vest

will check out links of any cross posts now..

oh and thank you all for the help..

am quit liking this chappy so want to hit just the right note

ahhh thanks.. yes he was a numpty and I am pleading temporary insanity (literally).. I'm back to my old self now, thankfully. I was missing me lol

also have had lots of other dates since the work bloke so feel like I am definitely not rushing into anything again.. this guy seems very nice and is quite hot look-wise too.

he is cooking me dinner and has already told me it's an excuse for him to get dressed up as well.

I checked, it's not black tie loln but from what I've seen of him so far, I'm expecting a fancy meal, low lighting etc

this? have some really nice karen millen shoes that would lift it

maybe this again what with?

maybe this actually with a huge bag and killer heels?

i love that grey one but it is grey and woolly and therefore not entirely what you are wanting to portray?

Ok, I think I have searched every shop I can drag myself out to this afternoon.. am now going to look through all the links..

..I need all your opinions please..

will try and get dressed for lunchtime and head out so need to decide by then..

Yes I agree the grey one isn't really the look I was going for

I have a brown sticky fingers shirt dress in my wrdrobe which could hit the spot but it's quite heavy material and maybe a little too officey

sorry i haven't got time to look at links, but how about a pencil skirt?

I look like a duck

I think a black button down shirt dress is just arriving outside for me lol

I dragge dmyself into town.. I now have 2 skirts, 2 shirts, a belt, some new undies, a shirt dress and some new fake tan.

so much for not spending any money lol.. I will link to those I can find..back soon

skirt 1

skirt 2

shirt

can't find other shirt or belt online

but other shirt is a nice green colour..

have just given myself a pedicure and bright red toe nails so hopefully will pull off sexy barefoot look rather than looking gnarled!

Fingers crossed my fake tan doesn't go pathcy or whole look will be screwed lol

Thanks for all your help today

I LOVE that black belted coast dress. Buy that one it's gorgeous and classic. A wardrobe 'staple' I'm sure. It is elegant and looks effortless but accentuates a waist and shows off your legs.

The coast skirt is nice but same thing as cheap somewhere else I'm sure.

The dotty p number looks like you came ready for bed!

I tried the brown coast dress but the 10 was too tight across my bust and the 12 was too big everywhere else.. was gutted.. it is gorgeous and would deffo recommend it

Ok so I know probably nobody is interested lol but I just have to say that I wore the black skirt with the black shirt and black marc jacobs killer heeled patent shoes and he was very, very complimentary!! how great my legs were, how 'stunning' I looked etc etc

YEAY either he is a massive player or he is now mine for the taking
