Will I be picturesque or a patient?

Hi all,
There is a family gathering when it is safe and I already have my outfit planned (jumpsuit, wrap, bag) and I am toying with the idea of wearing heels. I do have chronic pain but I will be getting out of a car and walking into a hall, plus I can walk in heels.

There will be plenty of photos at the gathering so I want to look amazing, especially since the photos will be printed.

I won't be doing much walking at all and I have plenty of people to hold onto so will most likely manage but is it a stupid idea? X

Pleased you've decided to buy some ballet flats as well as the heels Flyinghandbag. I am sure the relative who is driving you to the party will be proud to have you on his arm. Have a wonderful time, when the time comes. ?‍♀️??

Is a jumpsuit much the same as a onesie Flying ?
They can be very unfortunate if you need the loo urgently, and just imagine if you are in heels as well and are trying to run! It doesn't bear thinking about.?

Marydol, I love the pretty flats you've picked out to show to Flyinghandbag. Hope you're feeling a little better today. ?

lemon, jumpsuits are designed for quick removal, if you know what I mean. wink No buttons or zips and usually stretchy.

Jumpsuits usually have a zip, do they not? X

Trainers (box-fresh White) are the coolest thing to wear with a jump suit plus you can dance all night!

I really like this idea but I'm worried trainers are a bit 'everyday'. X

Look at these - everyday? No, really cool!

FlyingHandbag I’m fast realising you are a racy lady who likes to live life in the fast lane. ?
You should wear a stylish outfit, and the shoes you think best suit it and make a sweeping entrance.
Have a fantastic night.
I do fear there might be a thread to follow asking how you can attend your next invitation when you have a twisted ankle ?

Puzzler61 Wed 15-Jul-20 20:19:59

But I sincerely hope not ☺️

Marydoll Wed 15-Jul-20 20:23:00

Any jumpsuits I have, don't have a zip and I usually struggle to get dressed. Eazy, peezy to get on!

Oh now I have revealed tht I'm a racy lady! ?

Well.....we knew that already ?

Sorry if I was harsh , actually it is a toned down reaction to your outfit
Jumpsuit /elegant / tasteful are not words I would use in the same sentence ?

But what would I know !

Thanks for the lovely comments! I always love to look my best and I will have great fun shopping for my outfit. X

Oh dear Aggie are you implying I have no taste? wink You are probably correct! ??

aggie Wed 15-Jul-20 20:32:40

Guess I am too old and conservative to appreciate the latest ... mmm. ..... err fashion / style !?!.?

MawB those are beautiful. X

Marydoll Wed 15-Jul-20 20:38:15

Aggie, I'm just teasing! smile

I have one jumpsuit, not a boiler suit (I'm not a bunnie boiler)!

It is actually quite flattering, hides a lot of lumps and bumps!!!

Marydoll Wed 15-Jul-20 20:39:23

Flying, thank you! You have really cheered me up with your thread. smile
