FabSwingers.com forum: Dress Up and Stay In

By (user no longer on site) OP

Well we can’t go out and there certainly isn’t going to be any Xmas parties this year!

Last night I decided to dress up like I was going out and really enjoyed the ritual of picking an outfit, doing my makeup etc, & having a disco for one, it really lifted my mood.

So on this gloomy Tuesday I thought I would try and spread the fun.

So for those of you ladies & gents who fancy it: dust off your best going out outfit, stick some tunes on, get dressed up & post a picture of you in your finery.

I appreciate many are working so plan your outfit for later and post later or if you are at home and feeling gloomy get dressed up & do your conference calls in your cocktail dress or tux (or not)

Let us know if you’re in so we can look out for your pictures..

This is exactly what I am doing today, my fab friends know that I'm a dress up and go out gal but apart from food shopping it's not happening.

So ... I will be having a big bubbly bath, get my shovel out and stick my make up on, then my new dress is going to be slipped on and a few pictures.

I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I'm going to enjoy a bit of me time.

I love everyone of you on here and hope you ALL have a great day xx

That sounds like a great plan and a lovely way to spend the day! Looking forward to seeing you all dressed up!

My hubby and I actually had a kitchen dance date night on Saturday night (desperate times eh?). To make it that little bit more authentic, we purchased a cheap disco light from Amazon (if you closed your eyes, it almost felt like a club!)

We both got dressed up, and though the evening felt a little odd at first, the odd tipple lowered any inhibitions.

It definitely lifted our mood.

I've done this every weekend since Jeff got back from Turkey in July.

Every weekend I get all glammed up and we make the most of our time.

It's been awesome.

Won't be stopping post rona

Yes, it's a good idea. My Friend and I do this every Friday.

I generally cook whilst she interferes with both the cooking and me!

Wow having a disco light takes it to the next level! Love a kitchen disco and dressing up last night really lifted my mood!

V jealous that you have someone to dress up with, dinner for one doesn’t quite replicate the going out date night vibe

However I think post rona I’m going to carry on making more of an effort whilst in!

Great idea, I might join in if I'm not too exhausted.

You look lovely in your pic. And I don't know where you got the strappy number from in your photos but it's awesome and looks great on you. I want one.

D."

Why thank you, you both have some fabulous pictures as well!

The dressing up really does perk up the mood, and from what I can see of Jo her dressing up would most certainly perk up your mood, stunning! Xx

O GOSH!! A compliment like that from you means more to me than you could possibly realise, for that I thank you.

I was going to send a pretty pic of me in new dress that wearing today (and hair with lippy) but for reasons and settings that I fully respect I was unable to.

I hope you and everyone else on this thread has a great day.

I do now have a smile on my face

Put the suit away before I crease it. Saving it for Suits Thursday.
