Afternoon shopping with the girls, then out to dinner

[everyonesatit]

What can I wear that will suit both the shopping expedition and the dinner/evening out straight after?

Am completely bored of jeans - anyone have any ideas?

I'm 5ft 5 and a size 10. Age 36!

I would go with either jeans, flats, t-shirt with a blzer / boyfriend jacket and some kind of scalf

or

a maxi dress with a denim jacket

or chino type turned up trousers with flats for day and take (or buy) some heels for the evening

Turned up chinos sound good...what could I wear with those that would work for evening? I can do heels in the daytime no problem as will be child free .

what about a vest top for day which you can put a blouse or shirt over for evening.

Or maybe a t-shirt / vest top for day and put a jacket over in the evening for a smarter look.

I always find that jewellery and accessories can change an outfit to so perhaps you could carry something in your bag to jazz up the outfit later on?

Thanks Sweetheart... I should probably mention I"m in Scotland, so a jacket will be an essential item! Anyway, I have none of these things, so I'll need to find some time to shop. How wierd...I need to shop for my shopping outfit!!!

Anyone have any links to help get me started?

chinos
gap do some as well

Aha! Are those the ones people were raving about? I looked back and couldn't find the thread. Thanks for that...

I brought a pair of the Gap ones and I don't like them - they are very bulky around the middle which is not good for me and they get loose and baggy really easily! I'm thinking I should have brought a smaller size!

Thanks for the tip on the GAp ones. I'll pop into NL tomorrow while DS2 naps and try those.

Do you think a blazer and a sparkly vest would be ok with them? With heels of course!

i am watching with interest as this is the kind of style dilemma i often have

i am also 5'5''and a size 10 but ten years older than Op . I feel i am too old for the skinnies +heels+ sparkly top look. its a bit of a cliche anyway, especially on middle aged mums

what about denim jacket ?
