My son is playing in a band and I am a prone to rubbing hot, peri woman, size 14, barrel Nelly hit not also blessed with the biggest boobs , decent legs , 5’2 so shortie.
what are we wearing for a local gig in a pub? I hate all my wide leg jeans I wore for months. I got rid of skinnies , I’m not sure about jeans and a top amy more. It’s too cold for summer dress and too hot for my winter ones and I’m in a rut! I’m not a classic style. More indie , more boots and trainers than a dainty shoe. Please help me !

For a gig in a pub, anything goes. You don’t need to dress up, but if you put on a dress, you won’t look out of place. Just go in what you feel comfortable in.

Do you have any summery dresses you could wear with a long sleeve t-shirt under or a slouchy jumper over? Fishnets and docs. Or a midi skirt, cool t-shirt, jacket, trainers.

Satin or denim skirt, trainers (or DMs) and band or graphic T-shirt?

Short sleeve black(?) knee length dress, with some funky low denier tights and DM boots is my go to outfit

I'd wear a long dress with tights and DMs, layered with a cardigan and leather jacket.

Dress full indie, plenty of individuality and I hope you have a real good night!

I think I’d have been ok wearing my old uni outfits or short skirt, tights and DMs and just need some new cool t shirts.

Was quite interesting that my old style is still ok! 😆. My DS was ace by the way. 🎵
