Is this a common occurrence for you? Your significant other arrives with “fabulous” news… we’ve been invited to (you fill in the blank). And, your first panicked reply is, “What on Earth do I wear?”
This happens regularly at my house. I should be used to it, since I’ve been married for 20 years to a very gregarious man. But, somehow he manages to find events to surprise me again… and again.
After much thought, I’ve come up with the ensemble above. My look aims to straddle the fence between too serious (this isn’t a funeral after all!) and too trendy (are red shoes too much?).
Which event do you struggle to dress for? Any foolproof go-to pieces? If so, I’d love to hear from you!
