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.

Just bear in mind at one point he found you irresistible so you don’t need to put in loads of effort because you are already his type.

The phase dress is fabulous!
If youre set on the blazer, I would go with some straight leg satin trousers, and a sheer top under the blazer.

I love this dress.

How about this, OP?

I know you say you want your arms covered, but you could wear a sheer long-sleeved top under it. And it's only £45 🤩

But different groups have different fashions, style and sense of beauty.

Nah, generally I’m just in a Maiden shirt and desperately faded black jeans (in summer I generally wear thinner cotton trousers.. love a band shirt over a long sleeved t shirt. Love a band hoodie in this weather. Everyone is very proud of the statements the shirts make and enables you to find other fun people. But love sometimes dressing up in some black Lacey top or the type of dresses I’ve linked. Have ordered the phase right dress that someone linked- love the flared sleeves.

You clearly have an idea in your head of what you want which is great. I'm not sure that MN sees that vision but that's ok. 😊

If you want that jacket, why not embrace it and get some tit tape and a statement necklace and embrace the bare chest. That can look very striking.

If you do need sonething under it, get a low cut vest type thing in a luxury fabric.

If you're going with that jacket, it's a statement in itself so don't compete with it. Maybe some plain cigarette trousers?

Ultimately though, you'll only feel fabulous if you are comfortable in what you are wearing.

We have different tastes in music but similar styles, by the sound of it. DMs, jeans or a black skirt, and a Smiths T-shirt here a lot of the time! Not fashionable, but it does me fine most of the time!

Some suggestions/food for thought:

Brilliant suggestion!

To me that has a pagan vibe (or at least whatever I think that is), but is still stunning, formal, great for a neat waist, (which you said you have op), covers arms and the sleeve detail is reminiscent of the eyelet jacket you liked OP, but I think much more feminine.

I really like that.

ETA as well as being demure its also quite sexy - more so than the jacket I think op. Sexy but without looking desperately or obviously so as though you were hoping he would notice!

The jacket turned up and it didn't look fabulous it looked a bit cheap. I was bedazzled by Julien MacDonalds name on it. I'll keep it to wear with velvet wide leg trousers at some occasion or other, its nice enough but not for this.
I look better than I ever did during our 20 year marriage, I was fat for all of that.
Some great ideas on here thanks. I need sleeves though. Weight loss hasn't done my arms any favours.

Thats me on a normal day. I was a biker for years. Ive only recently started expanding my horizons.

Its a two day pagan festival with lots of speakers on various occult topics, an evening do with dancing, opening and closing ritual and usually some music and the usual stalls for shopping and supplies. I know about 50% of the people at these events. Its a close knit community.

Would a black jumper dress and tights do for daytime? Has the advantage of sleeves but also a bit bodycon to show off your new figure.

Maybe order the green Mint Velvet dress to try as a possibility for the evening of dancing?

Ah ok thanks, That helps me envisage it better.
I think the suggestion of the dress by @Katrinawaves was fabulous.

If you’re hanging with a bunch of druids I’d do something like these:

And yes it's fine to want to look good in front of your ex. You may need a confidence boost to face him/her/them if clothes do.it, brilliant..
