Fashion question

[TooFarTampa]

Two black tie events, two nights in a row, two different cities. One in Tampa the other in O-town. Different people at each event. I will definitely be going shopping, but don't want to break the bank. Should I shop for one stupendously fabulous dress or try to find two somewhat less fabulous ones? WWBBD?

This never happens to me.

Guys don't remember clothes. The question is, will there be any of the same female attendees, and do you care? In O'town, kevlar is in fashion.

Find one stupendously fabulous one, and wear it to both.

Also find other excuses/occasions to wear it. The more you wear it, the less expensive it becomes. (Total girl logic, but it works.)

There is your answer.

I'd go to Neiman's and pick one super dress to wear to both events. Or either be a rebel, go to a funky boutique, and find something really unique that doesn't cost a boatload of money, yet people think it cost a boatload due to its uniqueness.

I'm with PV. Wear the same one with different accessories/jewelry.

I think this is a great idea. My choice.


TFT, would O-town happen to be Oldsmar or Ozona?

I can make you one designer Puffs and one Kleenex in different colors?
Buy yourself a smashing dress and enjoy being child-free. You deserve it.

Totally agree. About the dress AND the logic.

TFT, same dress but different shoes, jewelry, purse, and even lipstick each night = two really different outfits. If you have more than one wrap in your wardrobe, that helps too. And do your hair slightly different one night from the other.

You're going to have so much funn! We went to a black tie event two weeks ago and the people watching was wonderful. I saw some gowns that made my jaw drop (in a nice way). Black is still queen of the evening for women, at least in the Midwest.

Ummm ... no. If someone is at both AND they notice that means I'm rocking a fabulous dress. Which makes my decision easier.

I am all about this kind of logic.

We have some great boutiques, and I think there's a good sale at Neiman's going on now. :scratch:

Very impressive recall of Florida geography. Actually it's Ocala.

Thanks Mangy. Will you come babysit so I can do some proper shopping?

Mermy! I NEVER GO ANYWHERE. I don't have one wrap, much less two. :roll: It is too exhausting to think about changing everything up. My big concern is not getting Spaghettios smeared on me on the way out. I do have these shoes though:

And this clutch.

Metallics are hot in FL.
