Hi all,
I am wearing the attached dress on Christmas day, with ankle boots, 100 denier black tights, a decorative belt and a shoulder bag. I hadn't thought about a jacket but I now wonder if I should have a jacket or wrap or something. What do you think?
Best wishes,
FH x

Am I odd, that when choosing clothes to wear for whatever occasion, my thoughts are whether it will be cool enough and not make me all hot and bothered! I couldn't wear a vest/jumper/big cardigan EVER! I'm wafting myself just thinking about it! I am post menopause so maybe I'm just warm blooded! (currently sitting in a t shirt and shorts with no heating on and feeling quite warm!) FH - I would be good with those long sleeves but if you feel you need another layer I would probably wear a little black tailored jacket/blazer or possibly my biker jacket! How about black leggings rather than tights if the dress is a bit on the short side? I admire your forward planning skills! I was feeling smug earlier as I bought some Christmas cards from Next!

Obviously not all grans shop at Damart and The Edinburgh Wool Shop?

If I remember correctly, FlyingHandbags has said that she isn't a GP.

Lovely dress Flying but I’d need two...

I think you could tie those two strings hanging from the bottom of the dress to your boots. It would save any cold draught going into the wrong place.

Really?

There was a nice site for granny clothes recommended on another thread. I must take a look

Well those boots look sturdy enough, you shouldn't be falling over in those.

Bluesky I do have nice legs, but they won't be on show as I'm wearing 100 denier black tights. It is quite short. X

Hetty58 Deadly serious, why? X

FlyingHxndbag Thu 22-Oct-20 20:20:33

These boots. X

Callistemon Thu 22-Oct-20 20:17:01

That's odd - the picture didn't appear at first
confused

Which boots, FH?

Callistemon Thu 22-Oct-20 20:16:01

Perhaps not this one

Callistemon Thu 22-Oct-20 20:15:09

That’s a lovely vest Callistemon
I’m assuming it’s thermal - who is it by?

It's Damart - of course, MawB2!

I understand that Princess Diana always wore thermal underwear under her lovely silk clothes.
Well, not all of them, obviously.

Marydoll Thu 22-Oct-20 20:12:47

Maw, I have an M&S one like that. They are a godsend in chilly Glasgow. ?

Hetty58 Thu 22-Oct-20 20:12:29

Brilliant joke FlyingHxndbag - you are joking, aren't you?

SpringyChicken Thu 22-Oct-20 20:10:22

I think the vest would show, Callistemon. The dress neckline is quite wide

SpringyChicken Thu 22-Oct-20 20:08:31

I'd wear a coatigan, probably pale grey.

Marydoll Thu 22-Oct-20 20:06:15

It's looks so short, I would worry about you bending down in company!
I once had to speak to a young colleague after she bent down to pick something up.
It left absolutely nothing to the imagination.blush
I thought our male headteacher was going to have a heart attack.

BlueSky Thu 22-Oct-20 19:57:52

Very nice FH, it looks quite short so you must have nice legs! Definitely a jacket or wrap, it could be quite cold by then. ?

We've only just had fish pie never mind breakfast tomorrow!

Missfoodlove Thu 22-Oct-20 19:50:24

I’ve not thought further than breakfast tomorrow let alone what to wear in 8 weeks time.

FlyingHxndbag Thu 22-Oct-20 19:44:00

I didn't ask what to wear with it so no, I didn't have advice on this. X

BlueBelle Thu 22-Oct-20 19:36:21

You already had advise
