Ok, so not my idea for the title this time, I asked for blog requests and for some reason this one stood out from the crowd. I imagine in a sea of floral midi dresses, some forty plus divas might feel outnumbered on the streets at the moment...
So here goes... These are my thoughts for what you might wear OUT-OUT this weekend if you consider yourself something of a badass. These are OUT-OUT with friends outfits, not formal I need to find my tiara as I’m going to meet the queen outfits. Its for when you want to express your inner Led Zeppelin groupie style, and your night out starts at 3pm and your still home in time to catch the end of Strictly....
CLASHING ANIMIAL PRINTS
Don’t be put off thinking “I’m going to look like Bett Lynch on a bad night in the Rovers”. Think more tonal. The secret to getting this type of styling right is keeping the prints in tone, are they both beige based? Are they brown based? Are they red based? I have linked the outfit pieces below.

BOOT THEM IN THE…
This outfit is all about the boots; it’s an “I’m sorry I couldn’t be bothered getting ready, I had this on and I just changed my boots” type of look. We all know that girl, the chick that looks like she didn’t try but still looks totally MINT. I have included my Pink Sam Edelman boots in this as they get a TON of love on Instagram. They are brilliant. Bright and mental, but still a sensible height for walking in, as no one is getting any younger are they? This badass would wear something like this….

SEQUINS!!!!
Sequins are a minefield: they are in my opinion, a woman over 40’s nightmare. We are kind of drawn to them when we feel a little lost and pressured by social occasions but they are SO easy to get wrong to the point you look like a hooker on a hen night or Aunty Mary wearing a ‘Jazzy’ top to the bingo.
Worn well, you can look quite ‘the sort’…. I like an understated sequin look, “I threw these sequins on and dressed them down and don’t I look like the bomb” kind if thing…
My friend got the Other Stories sequin top last year, or a few years ago now. So good, they just keep brining it back out. Classic. Stay away from sequin cami’s those tend to be designed for 12 year olds…
