I need to look fabulous

[Gettingbysomehow]

I've lost half my body weight and it so happens my ex husband will be attending the same conference as me in March. Its a big pagan thing so wear what you want
I need to look fabulous.
Has anyone seen any amazing pieces recently you can share with me. It would feel really good to put two fingers up.
I am 64 but enjoy fashion and can wear pretty much anything. My arms need to be covered and it will still be quite cold.

What sort of thing did you have in mind? “Pagan wear what you want” is quite a vague starting point!

I saw this jacket which Im buying now and hope to find a top to go with it.

Not loving the jacket, sorry. I'm struggling to understand the vibe though, as conference and pagan don't seem to marry terribly well. Is it day or evening? How smart do you need to be?

Trousers I have some very tight kick flare jeans Ill probably wear with high heeled boots but just no idea on the top OR slouchy wide leg black track suit bottoms.
People wear pretty much everything to these events.

Black track suit bottoms don't scream 'fabulous'. How about a dress?

I'd pair that jacket with a vintage embroidered mini skirt, black tights and boots. I really like it!

Sadly I cant wear a mini skirt my legs aren't good enough but I could wear a jumpsuit under it.

Neither the jacket or kick flare jeans scream fabulous to me.

Mini skirt with opaque tights if you don’t particularly like your legs? A-line mini would look fab with that jacket.

Firstly, I think you meant:

I am 64 and enjoy fashion?

Can’t help otherwise …

I’m afraid I don’t feel your current ideas meet the ‘fabulous’ brief.

And track suit bottoms and Debenhams aren’t suggesting fashion to me.

Is the event mostly inside or outside?

If its a pagan event, how about looking at Ancient Earth dresses? (Previously called Stone Circle) They are really flattering with a witchy feel. I tend to wear Disturbia and Killstar to Pagan moots and the Festival for Pagans and Witches

Honestly find something you love and will feel amazing in without thinking about him at all.

Depends on budget, but how about an embroidered maxi dress:

That Sublime Witches Knot dress is gorgeous @Octofluffs

Have a look at farmrio and zimmermann!

I honestly dont love the stuff you've linked (sorry!)

For a pagan conference (and it is a bit of an oxymoron) I might consider something from Klements, like these for instance:

With perhaps something crunchy and warm from Cawley Studios, like this:

(Although, tbh, I’d wear that outfit pretty much anywhere.)

Nearly £1000 for a clown outfit? Do you get the little car and big shoes for free?

The ugly jacket looks like it’s covered in polo mints. It’s not remotely what I would associate with being Pagan.

Embroidered velvet is what I would be thinking of.

I don't like the jacket... also why do you care about your ex husband being there? You should want to look great for yourself, regardless about him attending or not.

I would go with a body fitting black dress and a coat with a cinched waist that shows off your weightloss. Don't wear anything baggy!

What about this (or another of her dresses)? With or without the jacket.

Delivery is super quick so you would have lots of time to order if you need to wait for a restock of sizes.

The jacket really suits my shape, I know what suits me and it will look great. I don't want to look too formal as its a smart/casual event. I don't like to show my knees in tights because Im waiting for a knee replacement and my left knee has a big bony lump at the side wwhich looks a bit weird, the surgeon is going to remove it, otherwise Id wear a short skirt....the horrors of being in your 60s but other than that Im slim and don't look "old" I Iook better in trousers or a close fitting dress.
I do love this jacket though. Its right up my street.
Being a pagan do there is a lot of black going on at these events.
That mint velvet green dress is very nice. That would suit me.

How’s your body - is it toned or any loose skin? I was going to suggest a nice jumpsuit with a nice bag and shoes but certain materials won’t look good if you skin is a bit loose and you might be better off with something structured.
Congratulations on the weight loss.

What was the point of the thread though, if you've already decided on the jacket?
