What colour are the linen trousers? And are they wide legged?

These are all available in your size and are to my style and I am the same size. Good luck

I have the blue version of this and it's smart, cool and comfy. Not sure about 'double linen' though, not being a clothes person really.

Oooh, I love that! Sadly not in my size now.

I maybe should have said that I'm a size 20!

I intend to wear white trainers or the like!

Something like these ? Pretty and stylish. From Sahara and Capri clothing

If it’s floaty linen trousers I would have something like this.

A lovely floaty top with pink and purple swirls. Maybe a pair of up-market espadrilles so you can walk on the grass and the best pair of earrings and a bracelet you have. Discreet make-up and if you can bare it a pair of sunglasses used as headband weather permitting.
I know the feeling my ex-SIL was exactly the same she even tried to outdo me at my daughter's wedding by dropping the name of the upmarket shop she got her ensemble from.
She is my ex now I wasn't the only one who found her antics annoying.

My sister in law is 60 (damn her!) in August. They are having a lunch party at home (hopefully in the garden)

We get on ok but are not close (long story involving my mother!) She is fairly glamorous and she tends to treat me as though I am a hundred years old (I'm only 73!!!)

I intend to wear linen trousers but with what? I can't cope with scarves. Price isn't a huge issue and 'my' colours are mainly pinks and purples.

All suggestions gratefully received.
