I'm going to a formal event tonight with a client. I am excited about the event - which is going to feature a gourmet meal and plenty of wine - it's the outfit that has me a bit distressed.
As a mom, you just don't have many occasions to wear floor-length gowns, taffeta dresses, 4-inch heels and sequined wraps. I get a lot of my work clothes from places like Old Navy so you can imagine my despair at piecing together something for a dressy evening event.I do have to say the the LBD - little black dress - has come in handy as a staple. I ended up pairing it with a vintage-looking jacket with silver sparkles that I got from Marshalls for $15!! It actually looks fairly decent. I grabbed my dressiest patent leather pumps and I think I'm good to go - If I can walk in these things!!
I'll update you again tomorrow. Have a great night - it'll be a couple days before we get used to the time change. So what time do you think our children will arise tomorrow? I'm betting around 5am. That should be fun!I have a new email address - email me ideas, articles, suggestions at parentpill@comcast.net. Looking forward to hearing from you!
hope you had fun!!! should have worn your sarah suit (or borrowed my "sista" suit!!) you would have been a big hit!!!!
ReplyDeleteHad a great time. And I think I looked fairly decent for a middle-aged mom who doesn't travel in these high falutin' circles anymore. Plus the meal was nothing to sneeze at - 7 courses!! No one in my household will ever see that from me...I'm the anti-Martha!!
