I love the idea from nannarose re buying a length of silky fabric and draping it over your shoulder etc. Am definitely going to try that if I am invited to any ‘do’.
Is life nowadays all about image?

It’s not until early September, and ducking out is out of the question - an evening do at a very smart London venue.
I really don’t like dressing up any more and don’t have any sort of suitable dress, and I’m certainly not going to buy one I’ll never wear again (hardly ever wear dresses anyway).
However I do have this top, bought on impulse a while ago and never yet worn, silky material - I thought it’d do with plain black trousers or a long black skirt - what do you think?
It’s black tie so dh will have to hire a suit - he used to have his own but he was heavier then so even if he still has it, it’s not going to fit. Bum and bum again!
I'd go for navy palazzo pants as well and the scarf. Judi Dench almost always has one. I especially like this one
