I am going to a concert by myself to see "In the flesh" a Pink Floyd type group with lazer show in a couple of weeks at the Indigo2 , within the O2 venue, I live out in the sticks and I have never been to anything like this before, let alone a city venue, so I wonder if anyone can give me an idea what I should wear, last time I went out to a "do" I was in my early 20's, now I'm 48 but very young looking and still haven't got a clue, I don't want to overdress and look like I'm on the pull, or look dowdy either, I'm female 5 ft 3 and aprox 10 stone, any ideas please ? I'd be really gratefull.

Bubble wrap. ;-p
Jeans, warm jumper, light tee-shirt and jacket. Maybe a hat.
Jeans, and a nice top.

Indigo is a fab venue. There's a bar at the back, and you can stand at the bar, or walk down a level to stand in front of the stage.

Last time I went, I wore jeans, and a black titty top.

The car park is easy, so don't wear anything that you'll want to take off. It will just be a pain once you get inside.

Inside the Indigo, it is quite warm.

If you phone in advance, they will tell you which car park section is allocated for the gig that you are going to see. You just follow the signs. It's easy.
Hi, China x

Why a hat ???????
Because I didn't read the Indigo bit JJ... Thought the roof was off because I'm dippy like that, hence the hat for warmth...
LOL

I thought there might be some secret "hat code"

Your mix is

1 item of denim (because you only EVER wear one!)

1 item of black or white

Don't wear colours. You'll look as if you wandered in from the pizza place next door by mistake.

Black and white are COOL gig colours.

Black is best ... if it suits you.

If not ... white.

Either way ... jeans are safest (but smart jeans ... you want to look as if you spent the afternoon trying on designer jeans ... not as if you spent the afternoon driving a tractor)

=0)
Black and blue JJ? Are you having a bubble?! Next you'll be telling the poor girl to wear black shoes with blue jeans... Good grief woman!

(Ahem.. sorry... black shoes, blue jeans... pet hate...)

Cheers snags, I love the idea, if I fell over I'd sound like a firecracker going off, LOL . seriously tho, Duchess Jogger Jayne of Seagull, I like the pic, will do the jeans, boots and black top I think, I'm not driving there, doing it by bus/coach/tube, so will need a jacket, but ill keep it light tho as ill be on transport most of the time, and certainly dont want clutter, glad you pointed out its warm inside as I get the hot flushes, I'm so excited, can't wait now, I've got a seat in section C downstairs, but I like the sound of the bar :) didnt know you could watch it from there as I read somewhere that someone got told to sit down even though they were in the back row for H & S reasons, but I think that may have been in the high bit upstairs. cheers for your answers, Ive got a good excuse for shopping for a new top now.
Question Author
you serious chinadoll ??!!! I only have black boots.........
Question Author
where did that Duchess / seagull bit come from. I didn't write that !!!
Not black and blue, China ?

Don't you think so ?

I think they mix rather well.

BM ... apparently the Ed has set up the site so that if you type my name in full, it replaces it with ... what you got! There are a few of us like that. If you type chuck fickens without the gap, you get " Chuck 'IT God & Lord of the Cyber Wave' Fickens "
Yeah, my name does something funny too.

I am quite serious but I'm also fairly sure it's a me thing rather than the rest of the world necessarily agreeing. I just don't like blue and black together. I think they cancel each other out. I also don't like black and brown for the same reasons. I can be a bit odd sometimes :c)
did I hear my name :)

Nothing to add on the fashion advice, but am curious. Which "Pink Floyd type group" are you going to see?
jeans chunky knit jumper and a tee shirt so you can take jumper off if your to hot scarf flat boots tuck in your jeans

most of all have a fab time...
'' flat boots tuck in your jeans ''

How does that work then?

Yeah CD,(playing safe there with the initials) I think black & brown are a no go too, and blue & green, should never be seen as they say. I am useless at coordinating, i tend to buy a top or handbag because I like them indiviually, not because they might go with what I have at home in the wardrobe, hence a tightly stuffed wardrobe of clothes that I hardly wear as nothing goes together ! Actually I did see a nice top in new Look this week, it was a white and silver printed top, baggyish vest type, they had teamed it up with a denim material shirt jacket which was a cross between beige and light green, or is that too much like the pizza outfit JJ ?
Honestly, I don't even know why I'm advising on fashion! I'd just keep it simple... that white and silver vest top sounds nice but I'm not sure about the denimy thingy... I'm sure it'll be fine whatever you chose. It's what you're happy in that counts, not what others think... especially others who have issus with blue and black shoes :c)
