Party Attire??
What the heck. I just epitomized what I am about to say. I am so not hip enough to know what "Party Attire" is. Yes, laugh if you must, I am going to my ten year High School Reunion and it said "Party Attire Requested." The last party I went to was for a two year old and I wore flip flops and a dark shirt knowing I would spill or get spilled upon and some sort of shorts that I found are a motif of my outfit collection. . . if you can call my clothes "outfits." (sigh.) Are they saying to wear what we would have worn to a party ten years ago when we were in High school or what we would wear to a party now if I were single because I am SO not wearing a polo shirt and those high waisted Abercrombie jeans nor am I going to dress like I am going to a Rave. (They still have those, right?) So needless to say I am going on an airplane tomorrow and I am asking Brandon what I should wear and he suggests all the stuff that he bought for me for Christmas which I guess is the most recently bought clothes, but then again, are they "Party Attire?" Brother. And "Why?" you ask am I even worried about it? Well, I'll tell you why. Because I have one night to look the part of a mother of three that doesn't look like a mother of three that has a great life, a great husband, a successful outlook, and make everyone believe I'm still fun. And I only get ONE outfit to tell it all. Help!!! Heels? Sandals? Cute jeans? Skirt? . . . . . Doherty High School here I come!

Party attire isn't FORMAL, per se (for example, not a long, formal dress and tuxedo) - but it's more "sparkly" than you would wear to church. Does that make sense? So, yes on the skirt and pantyhose, no on the mother-of-three cardigan. Something a little more "snazzy" and dare I say "sexy." Sorry, I know this is a family site. :-)
ReplyDeleteEven a fancier skirt with a nice top would do. Sandals are fine as long they are the dressier ones. I agree with Lydia, not formal, but something more elegant than normal sunday dress. Unless you are the type to wear your prom dress to church. But i know you aren't!

heels, definitely heels. And trust me, it isn't something you should sweat. You ARE a successful mother of three that is still fun, no need to act it, be yourself silly. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you'll be fine in WHATEVER. I'd kind of define party attire as the outfits Heidi Klum wears on Project Runway--and they can go anywhere from cute (nice) jeans/cool top with heels to a little black dress and heels, i.e., "going out on a date" look. I'm sure you'll be the best looking one there!
ReplyDeleteYou could wear a brown potato sack and still look amazing! Don't sweat it -just enjoy yourself!
ReplyDeleteMONIQUE!! Ok, this is too weird. I saw you not very long ago at the Disney Store in Orem & now through a friend of a friend's blog, I find your blog!! How are you? When I saw you last, you said you were moving across the ocean (I can't exactly remember where), have you moved? Anyway, hopefully you don't mind me checking out your blog from time to time. Mine is, inglesfamily.blogspot.com, feel free to take a peek. I'd love to hear from you.

I am so glad you can't see me, I am so sad you are already gone. Good thing we didn't drop in to surprise you as we were planning to do before you left we would have been the ones surprised.
ReplyDeleteI miss you already.
You know that what ever you wore to the party, you would be the trend setter, and the next day the other girls who saw you at the party will be hitting the stores to try and find what ever it was you decided to make iconic. I can still tell you what you wore the first time I met you, and yes, I ran out to find that blue shirt and thick flat silver necklace.
Love you. Please keep up the blogging from the other side of the planet.
How was the reunion? How is the move to Hungary going?
