Disaster has struck!
It’s true, my loves!
The outfit I bought over a year ago to wear to a super fancy Christmas soiree this month does not fit!
It is an amazing, on point stunning piece! It’s a jumpsuit with a black bottom and then a red Christmas plaid sleeveless bodice. Then it has attached at the waist a TRAIN that is the same plaid that billows out behind it and a bow to hide the zipper! And it won’t zip over my chest. Like not even close. Inches from doing so! With a strapless bra, with an unlined bra, with NO DANG BRA! I immediately took it off, threw it on the floor, stomped on it and informed the offender it would be staying right there until it had thought good and hard about what it had done.
So now I am left diving into my closet for something I like that would work. I would love something pink and frothy but I am not seeing it here in my size. I have evening/cocktail wear in all sizes. But at the moment I am a but curvier then usual so mostly what I have is black. Black, black, black! It looks like I’m going to 20 funerals! Not holidayish at all! But wait,,,
I have a cute and cocktail black (I know) Audrey Hepburn style dress with a big twirly skirt on it! And I have a fuschia petticoat! This could work. With fuschia and black shoes (Okay, I have the perfect pair to go with that are leopard with pink roses on them BUT we spent a good deal of time standing at this same party last year and my joints just can’t hang out in 5 inch stilettos for endless hours), especially sparkly ones. Perhaps a fuschia hair accessories or a small tiara? A small fuschia tiara?
The leopard dress is another candidate. A dark horse. It’s a leopard all over skater dress. It also has a puffy skirt. I’m not sure I can wedge my petticoat under that but I can try. This would definitely be a more ME statement. Especially if I can find some more cute fuschia shoes (Betsey Johnson and your magnificent shoes, mock me not!). I need pink sequins!
And finally there is my go to. A champagne gold sequin dress with cut out shoulders. Festive, seasonal, needs Spanx. I also need new gold shoes to go with it since I wore out my original pair. But no pink. Which I feel feel naked with out.
Which do you vote for?
