Appropriate wear to meet old flame

[Kristal53]

Here's a good one ;-) I have made arrangements to meet an old flame -we dated for a while in our late 20's but it fizzled out due to his roaming eye and me getting work away from home. Anyway - we've been emailing after he got in touch through FB and, as we live in the same area now, have made arrangements to meet up for a coffee - he is divorced, I'm happily married and I'm treating it as a catch up with a bit of curiosity to as what he's turned into.
What do I wear? -I don't want to give the wrong impression and certainly don't want to start any sort of relationship other than platonic - but I want him to realise what he's missed out on ( oh that is so wrong on so many levels but I don't care lol!) My fashion sense is non existent -love Gok and really need Gokking! I get it so wrong - I either look like a granny or a slapper...I'm in my early fifties -help!

Definitely something you feel most comfortable in. You're probably going to experience some strange emotions, so the last thing you want is shoes that are too high, waistband too tight/loose, etc. And it's only coffee, so nothing too fancy otherwise you'll look like you're trying to impress. Keep cool and keep comfy!

*but I want him to realise what he's missed out on ( oh that is so wrong on so many levels but I don't care lol!) *

yeah it is lol......

i work with a couple of women, one early and one mid 60's... they both always look lovely, they usually just wear jeans and nice tops and dont go overboard with accessories and stuff... they both look smart, fashionable and a bit sassy (not sure if thats the right word sorry) i mean subtly sexy

Wear your husband on your arm.

@ Wharton ha ha he knows I'm going -I have more male friends than female and my hubby is considerably more sexy than this guy ;-)

[pdust]

[Kristal53]

Might I suggest this outfit.

[Kristal53]

@pdust - yes -the look I'm going for is just that - sophisticated chic as if I've just thrown something on in a rush. Trouble is I'm no good at putting stuff together -now I'm wondering if I'm making too much of this? Why am i so bothered about impressing this person - Mmmm -shall have to ask hubby what to wear ;-)

[Sqad]

trigger....LOL....true.....TRUE!

[Kristal53]

Squad -thanks for the link - wish I had a figure like that! - think if I wore that dress I'd look like a pork sausage -love the bag and shoes though ;-)

[Wharton]

Don't forget to wear a smug smile.

Will you be asking your husband

'does my bum look big in this ?'

before you leave for the date?

[Sqad]

Kristal.....just a thought my darling....the casual "Hi! Jeremy, so nice to see you....how has life treated you?........Me? oh! just struggling along with a second hand Porsche and the kids at Eton"

[pastafreak]

I prefer sqad's suggestion in this version better....

The jacket covers up arms,and the dress could be worn with sleek looking boots....surprised sqad did not think of boots......;-))

[Kristal53]

@pastafreak - just come back from Sainsbury's looking at the new Gok collection - frankly its hideous - decided to wear nice jeans tucked into knee length tan leather boots, demure top and jacket, - all in my wardrobe so not spending any money .

[Kristal53]

Mick-Talbot -you are naughty its not a date lol! - its retribution ;-)
