Oh, I have a fashion question! What do people class as smart casual now?

Background to this - Bank Holiday weekend we're having a uni girls reunion and have been firing emails back and forth about plans. We're going out one night and the advice from the girl we're staying with is that smart casual (or jeans and "nice" top) is the best bet. I have no going out clothes any more as I'm prematurely middle aged and haven't been on a proper night out for months and months. Thinking jeans, heels and a nice top perhaps? Although I have the problem of horrible arms so need a top with sleeves which are usually tricky to track down

A pair of IC shoes is a must!!!! :T

Smart casual - I'd go for a black dress and dress down with coloured tights and some big jewellery.

I now have to treck back to down to town tomorrow to get a bankers cheque and sent that as I don't trust giving my bank details over the phone when they are obviously so useless. I feel so pathetic, I was almost in tears as he was so bloody rude to me. I have £900 of their money, they should be grovelling!

hey alex, I had a card for you but didn't ask for your address to send it before you disappeared. I rode my horse for first time in ages, this saturday and saturday before, it was fabulous...but its probably what had be back on walking sticks ...so bit frustrating.

Aww thank you honey, that's so sweet. And how lovely that you're able to ride again, even if it has set you back a wee bit.

sounds fine, but you will probably be all dressed the same, what do you have atm to play with in outfits? Dress and flat shoes perhaps? Funky tights often take the ''smarter'' things down a peg to casual.

Basically the stuff I've been blogging recently - my wardrobe is not large!! I think I'm still a bit bashful about wearing dresses in public - weirdly it's ok for work.

Tara - the shoes are the easy part
