It is our staff meal tomorrow at a golf club. All the people going are women (not that it matters I suppose ). Anyway, I hadn't really given much thought to an outfit so a friend lent me a long tunic top. It is very pretty, but doesn't go with any of my trousers, so I tried it on with a pair of brown tights and heels and was very pleased with the result! However, I'm worried that it might be a bit 'slutty' to wear out with colleagues. I'll try and find picture.

I'm in my 20s and my legs are my only best feature. Thanks.

do it

why the hell not ?

I wear short dresses/skirts and I am 44

are the tights opaque ?

If your legs are a good feature go for it!

I don't think anyone looks slutty in a short dress is their boobs aren't on show.

Cheappinkfizz · 10/12/2009 19:17

yes! as long as tights are opaque!

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 10/12/2009 19:18

yeah, keep the boobs hidden

God no, my Christmas party is only attended by girls in short dresses! Do it, you'll be fine.

Thanks for the replies. The dress is a very similar style to this only it's not lime green! Still sure that's not too short?!
