I am off to the Clothes Show Style awards...

[MayorNaze]

with my v young and fashionable cousin and her friends.

please please help as last time i went "out" was about 2002. WHAT DO I WEAR???!!!

this is what you have to work with...

i am: late 20s, 5'4, size 10, no norks to speak of. current style - boho/crusty hippy-ish

i have no clue at all my dears, i am currently in combats and an ethnicy kind of top i got from a charity shop...

pretty pretty please offer any kind of advice at all...

i thank you. and if i blag any freebies i will share them out nicely...

don't make me beg ladies, pleeeeeaase

id say a nice dress, opaque tights and closed platform heels

thank you so much but please can you be more specific? i have many mental pictures of "nice" dresses abut am not sure which "nice" is this sort of "nice," IYSWIM?

god i'm a hopeless case.

oooh now your asking lol. ill have a search round, not on here for long though sorry!

don't worry, i appreciate you answering my cry for help

Do you like this? You could team it up with some chunky bangles, thick tights and heels?

that's not half bad actually...

any ideas that aren't black at all? sorry to be fussy, i do actually really like that dress but the only black item of clothing i currently possess is a jumper...

When is it?Just trying to get an idea of weather.

is next fri. will be walking round looking at posh fashiony stall-y things during the day, then changing for evening.

my cousin looks like she should be on hollyoaks (in a good way!) - i look like i should be on country file.

Your cousin sounds like a friend of mine or the day I'd wear leggings or skinny jeans with ballet pumps and a dress/tunic thing and cardi, that way you won't be too hot as can just take off the cardi but won't feel too summery if t rains. I am really rubbish at what to wear in the evening but a lot of people seem to wear short dresses out now. Its a safer bet. Oasis had some nice ones I'll link...

I really wanted this for my night out last week but didn't see it till it was too late to order. Not sure what the shoulder pads would be like though!

link takes me back to mn?!

that is exactly what i'm planning to wear during day (phew!), thanks. reassuring to know i'm not completely fashionably challenged!

either that or we both are! the link did that to me too, I think it is right though. The dress is called shoulder pad dress, its new in on the oasis site so should be easy enough to find.

found it! that is quite cool actually...

re tights - can i wear coloured ones do you think? or will i look more alexa does glastonbury than alexa does clothes show ?

Oh I'm not sure on tights. I would have worn leggings with that dress but I am tall so would have had to.
Unless you just mean generally? f so then I think yes you can wear coloured tights. I have got purple ones but wasn't brave enough to wear them!

see i am brave enough for coloured tights but not for leggings!!!

so no to coloured tights for evening then? ok...will let you know what i decide...of shopping at wkend but will be emailing stylish cuz for advice first as well!

I'm sure coloured tights will be fine, you will have to be careful if you are also wearing a coloured dress though! (or is that fashionable I don't actually know so probably not the person to take advice from )
