It's not that long that I said in Claire's thread that I do really feel like I don't miss anything in my wardrobe and than the next day we had this special invitation, and nothing felt quite appropiate at all.:-(

It seems we will have some fun on NYE. This will be surely something different if we'll go for it. Nightclub dancing! We are all in our mid forties, but nightclub will have lots of younger folks, even if kind of retro- I've heard.

Now, I have tried to figure out what is appropiate and still fun for an event like that. I have plenty of blacks for parties(mostly shift dresses, lace blazers or sparkly cardis and even one sequin skirt) but as said all felt too serious. Plus I was so insipred by Angie's post on her Xmass casual non black attire, that I had to experiment a bit with this for myself, too-so went trying...
(Surelly, I cannot do all whites, metallics and glitzy on my appleish hourglass figure, so kept the experience for the top part only....but also think the whites will catch the party ligths nicely(anybody's experience?)

This is the reason this black and cream(not really bright white-which is more forgiving for my complexion) animal blazer(is this almost a tux cut?) from H@M and a cream sparkly lurex (front only) 3/4 dolman sleeve knitted top(Promod) came home with me, this weekend.

1-9 -I styled these newbies with:
-black ponte skinny pants and black suede chuncky heeled slightly platform pumps
-the sequin skirt I own for a few years now, black opaques, same pumps,
-maybe a simple black blazer instead of the animal one.

Nr. 10-11 - is a shiny PU fronted(only), side pocketed, quite substantial ponte skirt, which I only tried on in the H@M store, and didn't buy as found this combo too over the top for my age, but kinda liked the look, and I may try it with a black leather pencil wich I also own, and has not that much, but similar shine).

12-14-I also bought a young style, simple black silky tee, with a graphic white face on it's front, as it was a bargain, and seemed also good for a dance night out,. Styled it with same items, as listed above.

16-22. This lace dress (H@M, too) with long sleeves, but only lined in the body also followed me home. I liked the color(grey) and simple cut. This is a bit on the shortish side on me, and wouldn't ever considered buying it if not this dance NYE out, for sure. But figured it quite consciously that perhaps the shorter length keeps things a bit on the funny, not that sophisticated side, which can also pass for a nightclub or some next years home dance parties.
Styled it with same items as above.

So, my ladies, what do you think? Which would be the most appropiate outfit for an event like that?
Thanx for your clever comments. I'm not sure will keep all of these items so you can vote keep or return if you want, too.
(Pls. note, I don't want anything sleeveless as my arms are not toned enough, hence the sleeve mania on all my tops:-)).
