i don't know

i turned down the first offer which was dinner in "the west end" and a romantic evening in place x

and have made it change to the london eye and not posh food maybe a drink and home..i said i was going to wear jeans for this

but he is going to turn up in a suit straight from work and he has smuggled back in that maybe i could bring a posh frock just in case

i've said no but i think he is going to try for this dinner posh frock scenario again.

If he wants you to wear a posh frock make him fricking buy it!

Jeans and a nice posh-like top as compromise?

If you wear a dress on the eye the people in teh next pod will loook up your skirt

It is perfectly acceptable to go out for dinner in london in jeans I do it all the time just wear smart ones and a nice top

A posh frock ma be a bit dressy for the London eye etc.
How about a nice pair of trousers and a nice little top?

CD pressureising to wear a posh frock is not a crime {wink}

Heenes dp great stuff if you are on a budget

But as CD says Jenas are fine with high heels and posh top for dinner in London

Unless you are goin gto Ritz

He is trying to spoil you fgs enjoy it

What size are you?
