So, what's the alternative to jeans and a glam top for a night out these days?

I'm bored by this combo -what do you all wear for a night out with the girls without going too over the top?

gosshh this is making me want to go shopping!! Going to need a new summer wardrobe after baby arrives you're all getting me excited!!

Lauren - now you have made me feel ANCIENT saying your Mum is my age

Need to find some leggings then - have a couple of tunic tops so lets see!

and thanks merlin x

falcon - I wasn't suggesting she should wear the same sort of thing ! I'd already confessed to being OTT and she did ask

Fishnets!!! That may be just a slight step too far for me!!

it was a different profile!!!! how old are you then.. dont have to be exact..! your as young as you feel anyway =] right now i feel about 60 but then im 9months pregnant =p

lol figment i missed that

doesn't have to be actual fishnets, you can get loads of crochet type patterned tights that are interesting without being trashy (although be sure to check well that they don't look like varicose veins from a distance )

I'm old ish and I wear leggings and a longer top or tunic/dress out instead of jeans
can dress up with heels and cool jewellery or dress down with ballet pumps for day time going out

Leggings and long tunic top?

I have a wool knitted dress from Uniqlo. Long sleeves, quite fitted, short. I wear it with boots. It's a bit dressed up but not ott. I love it. I don't do glam (tops or otherwise) so if wore jeans it would look very dull.

Do you reckon you have to have very slender legs/be 17 to get away with the leggings-and-long-tunic combo? I'm still looking pretty post-baby (13m on ) and while legs are ok below the knee, I'm not sure about massive thighs... Haven't worn leggings out of the house since 1994!

the thing is that leggings can look like pyjama bottoms
