I have a very close friend who is always stylishly tuned out, 5’2” and a trim size 12 she looks good in anything.
However her DD is getting married and she has been on the MOB outfit hunt for months. I went with her once and was invited to give my opinion on some she was contemplating. Fortunately she rejected them all (frankly, wrong sizes so would need altering or really unflattering but I kept quiet on that)
Since then she has bought an outfit she loves so of course I have enthused but deep down I think it looks frumpy. The hat she has gone for does nothing for her and the matchy matchy satin shoes and bag put 10 years on her.
I am not immune to these style lapses- I thought I knew exactly how I wanted to look at our DDs’ weddings but with hindsight.....maybe not.
Anyway, what is it about MOB outfit blinkers? Why do assistants offer and then gush over outfits that make a 50-something look like the Queen Mum? Why is there an extra nought on the price?
And why do (some of us) women have a common sense bypass about what we look good in?
Of course none of you may have fallen into this trap, but just looking at the sort of shop or department selling these outfits suggests there are many out there.
Fruit flies - help needed please.
