I felt that I had a nice and simple ''day into evening'' look put togeather. A plain knee length black skirt, a cherise v neck sweater with black courts and cherise tights. When my friend saw it, she said i looked like a player on a rugby league team.-- Now I',m beginning to question it and don't feel as confident anymore

Is there anything I can do to break up the colours and at the same time hold onto the basic idea.

I would say ditch the cerise tights anyway and go with black or nude. The rest depends on your age and what evening events you are attending.

Just a get togeather with some friends for a few drinks-- nothing too posh. As regards age--- if I am going through my mid life crisis now, I'll live to 92.

Cool, well since your evening events are casual I'd say it's all about the accessories to dress the outfit up. Maybe a nice chunky necklace that would suit the neckline of your top and a matching bracelet.

To which I would add - earrings can completely change an outfit. And so can heel height. And makeup. The outfit sounds fine, though the tights might be a bit daring or "over-matched"
-- but on the other hand, "being yourself" without apology is also part of a woman's look, so don't lose your nerve too soon, either, if you know what I mean!
