I want to look good at a party

[philopastry]

I am off to a 40th party and would really like to look good - stylish, hip , like I have made an effort and have a clue wihat is in fashion at the moment! I usually end up wearing jeans, nice top and gorgeous shoes when I go out but I know it makes me look like someone's mum (which I am obviously but you know what I mean)

I am size 14 with big boobs. Pale skin, red hair. I would like to wear a dress. AM thinking something that I can dress up or down. Wear with tights/boots/biker jacket in the winter and birkenstocks in the summer if poss. I am drawn to the idea of something in a beautiful colour or a fabulous print. Deffo not another LBD. I know my figure scream 'wrap dress' but I am kind of bored of those too.

I have a budget of about £100 - but would prefer to spend less.

If anyone can help me out I would be really grateful, am stuck in a style rut and feel ready to experiment with a new look.

thanks.

hi philo

are the norks mahoosive ?

I love this but waaay over budget

You need to wear something green

You need to wear something green

this?

cute

gosspis 2nd one is lovely

this is nice but again£££

new look would look great with boyfriend blazer or biker jacket

monsoon is this too dressy?

I'm done

Thanks everyone.
ggirl, norks are 34F so definitely have to be considered with dress I choose.
Love 2 of yours - Chloe one especially but sadly it is way too much - anyone want a 1/3 time share on a dress?! New look one is good ,will try it on, love the style and cut but suspect colours aren't so good for me, Coldtits is right , green looks good on me.

Sorry, not keen on the next dresses gossip - don't want thin shoulder straps (cos of thick bra straps - eek!) and the animal print is just not my cup of tea. But keep trying if you can be bothered - I need some help otherwise the bloody jeans will be dragged out again!

i did go to Whistles and they had some nice stuff but nothing really suited me.
BTW, My legs are pretty decent so something a bit above the knee is fine.

If anyone sees anything else that might be the thing please stick it on here - the party isn't for 10 days and I am going shopping next Weds so have a bit of time.

Thanks again - appreciate the help

too much

here's a pretty green one, as long as you wouldn't be too upset if people thought you'd come in your dressing gown

warehouse again

another nice one

That green Vivienne Westwood one is ^gorgeous^!@beanieb. I wish I had money to spend on clothes

this?

...those fifties style dresses are great for big norks/bit of a tum...

or this?

Just wanted to add my twopenceworth

I am 14 big boobed and a ginnog too!

Greens are fab, V necks are fab, bias cut is fab, also navy is good and a classy colour, confident to not wear black and doesn't look like you've tried too hard! Also soft mauvey purple if you get my drift.

Hope you find something good.

Hold your head up, stick your boobs out, and know you will look great. :-)

possible?
