Outfit for my 50th

[Mousekatoolsattheready]

We’ve got dinner planed with the family in a few weeks, think a nice pub type place and I’m struggling with what to wear. We might go for cocktails beforehand but nowhere very glam. I want to look and feel great.

I’ve newly lost 3stone so still finding what suits my new shape. I’m limited in that I’m still rebuilding my wardrobe and reluctant to buy anything I don’t love.

I'm 5ft 6”, size 10 top/12bottom, grey hair!

I wore a sequin skirt, brown ankle boots and a lovely brown wool jumper for Christmas lunch which I loved but don’t really want to wear the same thing.
I live in Boden dresses or River Island wide leg trousers during the week for work. I love M&S, Zara, River Island, Hobbs (from Vinted) & Tesco!

Any suggestions please? Budget about £100-£150 and I’d need to be able to wear it or the elements individually again.

Wild card - how about this very easy to wear dress:

(Astonishingly the 12 is a Large and there’s one left. Might be gorgeous layered with suede, furry or leather outerwear.)

Saint & Sofia have some really flattering dresses at the moment - although described as mini, they seem to be just above the knee on the model, but there are also a lot of midi dresses on their site, and lots come in other colours too

Thanks @OffToSeaInABlizzardid never have thought to check Net a Porter. I think unfortunately those colours wouldn’t do me any favours but I’ll check and see what else might be there.
@Defiantly41 I’d totally forgotten about saint & Sofia, I love the black & white spotty midi!

The N-a-P sale is insomniac heaven … 😄

Silk. Sale - under £150 - just! All sizes still available. They've got other sale dresses but mostly only very small sizes left.
What colours are good on you @Mousekatoolsattheready?
