Our desperate mothers' night out went extremely well. We ate lots, drank a sensible amount lots and rarely talked about the kids. All the perfect recipe for a good night out in my book. A couple of mums were alittle unsteady leaving the restaurant but thankfully there were no husbands or children around to witness the spectacle.
We all looked immaculate of course and perfectly groomed (chance would be a fine thing!), but the same could not be said for some of the party goers we saw that night,there seem to be some strange wardrobe choices going on.
This raised the question: if a friend was wearing an unsuitable outfit and asked your opinion, how honest would you be?
I'd like to hope that if I was wearing an outfit where the zip didn't zip up properly, or if it was too bright orange and looked terrible, or I was wearing a long t-shirt and belt but no jeans, (we saw them all that night), then someone would point this out to me.
But we decided that it would depend on the friend asking for advice, the outfit they were wearing, how they felt about the outfit, what else they had to wear and where they were going,the mood they were in and whether we could be tactful. So there were lots of factors to consider before telling a friend she didn't look great.
We can't all rush out and spend a fortune on a new outfit for every event. But even those who can still get it wrong.
But would you tell them?
