Rain and Fashion Choices



Sorry for the lack of posts this week, my duties as a “sometimes” mom called me away.  And the weather has been uncooperative to say the least.  If I wanted to say more, I would say, “The bucketful’s of water falling from the sky have thwarted any outfit posts I may have had in mind.” 
This is what I’ve been wearing since Tuesday.  You can see the original post here. It’s been this or my pajamas.  Thank goodness I bought new ones last month!  The point is that you've already seen this.

I am contemplating several outfits for the upcoming weeks.  Does anyone know what “festive attire” actually means?  The hubby and I are going to the Gaultier After Dark Soiree at the Dallas Museum of Art next week and I have no idea what to wear.  I’ve recently fallen in love with this outfit from the Shopbop Lookbook and I am contemplating recreating it for this event.  Is that festive? Is it formal? I don’t want to be formal, but I want to be festive…why can’t they just use normal words everyone knows? Do you mean “Black-Tie” or “cocktail” or “business dress”?  What does “festive” mean!?!?

Also, IFB.  It’s going to be cold in New York in February.  I’d like to look nice, but I would prefer to be warm.  Can I wear jeans?  It doesn’t look like anyone wears slacks, but I am not wearing a miniskirt!   What am I going to wear the other two days I am there? So many decisions!

  1. ANA...these are tough questions. So my take on festive is anything but black, think bright coloured dresses. Printed tops with silk trousers...that's my interpretation. As for the IFB conference...so awesome that you are going. I'd go with something edgy, like a moto chic jacket with slacks or an awesome dress with a fur vest? Hope this helps.

    1. Great ideas! Thanks so much! I am packing both denim and slacks and will make a game day decision. As for festive, that is in two days and my dress hasn't arrived yet! Maybe I will wear something different. We'll see...

    1. I agree, plus I've always felt denim was more casual and I have a tendency to wear slacks over skirts anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.
