Need a new going out outfit

blayneecakes

Hello ladies
So I would call my shape as an inverted triangle and sometimes an apple.
I'm a 25 year old outgoing chick and enjoy good food wine and company. Lately Ive noticed that I wear the same outfit when im out with girls, skinny black jeans long black bf blazer and heels. I'm bored if it, need more ideas that would suit my shape. I'm tall do prefer longer tops, refuse to showcase my arms and my best asset I guess could be my legs. I love black as it make be look skinnier on top as I'm broad but I love greens and blues! I'm sick of the same outfit. Help!
Love Blayne x

Hi there!
You could try swapping the skinny jeans for a A-Line above knee dress, tunic or skirt. This will balance your shape and give you the long length that the blazer usually provides.
Top with a cropped jacket if you need the warmth and you are good to go!

Black top with a tight blue or green skirt Color blocking, young, sexy and fashionable!!

Skirt number three would de-emphasize your broad shoulders, but skirts 1 and 2 would highlight your great long legs

Hi! I am the same age as you and I also find myself wearing the same things over and over when I'm out at bars and parties. It's hard to find pieces that are not either: super cheap, poorly made and unflattering or; b. way too expensive for something I'll realistically only be wearing for about 12-15 hours per month.

I was going to suggest swapping your jeans for a skirt, but I see that's been suggested. What about mixing it up with some bold-colored shoes and handbags if you want to stick with flattering, dark colors on your body? I've also been thinking of picking up some of the new colored jeans that are really hot now. I think you could snag a pair for about $50 from American Eagle or Urban Outfitters. They have some nice bold but dark blue shades that you might like.

I have a work friend who has a similar shape to yours and she always wears a short (mid-thigh) pencil skirt, heels and a drapey tunic top with a long necklace. It looks great on her, and she can do it in a million ways with different fabrics/textures, accessories and colors. She can add a long or short cardi or a long jacket on the top as well. I don't have any exact item recommendations, but I'd start by looking for a short pencil skirt to start with.

good luck!
