for out out in a northern city tomorrow night. Food, drinks and inevitable dancing in gay bars.

Was originally thinking little black dress + heels but have decided I want to be more comfortable.

Will I do?

Yes but Prince died due to an addiction to pain killers brought about because of back pain caused by wearing high heels on stage all the time......

I know! All of my high heel wearing friends have been wiped out by their opioid addiction. I'm only here because I am tall and could never find trousers long enough for heels.

You'll be gorgeous! What are you doing with hair and makeup?
I'm in my cub scouts volunteer Christmas party era, so I'm going out dancing vicariously through you!

hidinginthebathroomagain · 19/12/2025 09:44

I love it too

50ftQueenieeee · 19/12/2025 10:00

I love it! Although I love vintage/70s inspired fashion. Go forth and have fun.

I'm just amazed that you can even walk in those shoes, let alone dance!

Those sorts of heels are actually easy to walk in. Spike heels are harder, although even they are wearable with practice.

Stottie89 · 19/12/2025 10:18

Absolutely love it. The top coat and shoes although you’re feet may be cold ha ha

thesugarbumfairy · 19/12/2025 10:33

Its the sort of thing I wear so yes to this. Although those sandals don't look 'comfy' to me (but I'd still wear them) LOL.

Together it looks a bit fancy dress. For example switching out the top for a black t-shirt tucked in with the rest of the outfit would give it a vintage inspired feel without feeling over the top.

If the OP is going to be dancing in (eg) Manchester’s gay bars, a subtle black t-shirt is not the way to go 😂

OP, it’s a great outfit for the occasion 🙌🏻

Creamteasandbumblebees · 19/12/2025 10:38

Love it all! Have a great night!

SpicyGlitch · 19/12/2025 10:41

Love ❤️

I myself wouldn’t take the coat but only because I’d loose it 😂

If you’re going to the Viaduct I’m very jealous 😭

Fancy dress is more of a goal to me than an insult tbf #maximalist 😆

@ThePerfectWeekend I just mentioned northern so that people didn't think I was in London where dressing up is verboten.

See I thought the opposite...I had the impression that Northern cities were more glam for nights out than cities in the South?

TinselTarts · 19/12/2025 10:59

I love it all! Where is the coat from? It’s gorgeous 💖💖

ruethewhirl · 19/12/2025 11:06

I love the whole look! Have a great night!

Also love this outfit

Adore it 😍

I'm not sure I follow this line of thinking that going to a gay bar involves some sort of sequin wearing uniform dress-up. Gay people wear t-shirts as well you know.

CoastalGrey · 19/12/2025 11:54

I love it and wish I could pull off something similar but I'm too short, too fat and can't walk in heels!

Love to see an actual pic of you dressed up OP - have a great night!

CutePixieGirl · 19/12/2025 11:55

Love this! So cool.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 19/12/2025 12:03

Looks fabulous! Buffy Summers would be out staking vampires in that outfit and then straight on to the Bronx afterwards!

BillieWiper · 19/12/2025 12:19

I quite like the coat but it needs to be fluffier looking. I really dislike the jeans I'm afraid. The top would be good with everything else super minimal, like with black pants or skirt. The shoe again is a bit OTT in that ensemble. It is cute though. But comfy enough for dancing?

UrsulaBelle · 19/12/2025 12:34

Reminds me of the lead in High Potential. And she looks great! Go for it. I don't generally like butterflies on stuff either as it can look a bit twee, but that top doesn't say twee to me.

Verboten means forbidden @LondonBlueTopaz
