Never thought I'd be posting in this one! But would I look like a prozzer in this or not?

I'm 37, but been told I don't really look it. I do have a very slim figure. I was looking for one of these in green after seeing someone on the telly wearing one and thinking it looked great (she was much older than me).

Now I'm worried that I'll look silly. What do you think, it's here

I don't know rhubarb, that 2nd top, although the design of it is nice the material looks flimsy, it looks quite cheap which suits a 17 yr old..........

Keep looking?? sorry!

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 19:23

Noooo, I'm not going to bid on the second top, it's just that the colour and straps were like what that women was wearing and she had similar buttons at the bottom of the straps, but the cut was the corset top you see?

I'm going to put a last minute bid on the corset top so there!

Aaaaaaah yes, I can see it now I did think you were completely changing styles there!

Black only suits those with a 'cool'complexion and that very dark, almost black hair.

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 19:32

I'm not very red by nature nontoxic, but have chosen to go darker than my natural shade. However I do have a fair complexion and have always thought black rather suits me, hence most of my clothes are black - eek!

Have your colours 'done' - you'll never ask these questions again.

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 19:35

Eh?

Having your colours done don't tell ya if a garment's shape would suit you does it?!?!

'specially as originally she was talking about green....

kiltycoldbum · 07/02/2009 19:40

have nothing great to add im afraid but just wanted to say your picture on your profile scared the crap out of me!

morningpaper · 07/02/2009 19:41

I think it looks great, go for it

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 19:46

Thank you! I'll get it if it stays at more or less that price, otherwise I can't afford it.

Non-toxic, those colour experts always tell you to throw out black, and on their advice I through out every stitch of black clothing. My hair is the same colour as the model in the sweaty betty advert, I've v.pale skin and green eyes.

But fairly recently I wore a black jumper, with blusher, defined make-up, earrings etc. and I got a lot of compliments. So I don't know if it was just because I looked different, or if black suits me despite what the colour experts say.

Also I find the colours they suggested for me quite frumpy. I like stronger colours than I'm allowed.

Don't get your colours done, they always tell you to wear russett.
Or peach.

Rhubarb · 07/02/2009 21:31

7 minutes to go, now's the time to either persuade me or dissuade me!

lolol @ Russet and Peach

TrillianAstra · 08/02/2009 10:57

Clearly too late, but I think corsety thing with thin high-necked jumper under (for small-boobed women of course) sounds very cool, and I wish I were imaginative enough to come up with combinations like that.

Rhubarb · 08/02/2009 11:02

Ta everyone!
