Posh Do???
 

I'm off to a posh works dinner :eek: I have to wear a cocktail dress (aarrgghh) or something that you'd wear to a evening do at a wedding?? That'll be jeans and a nice top then :rolleyes:
Help!!! I have no idea! Where do I even buy such things?

Re: Posh Do???
 

I dont know where you live but there are about 3 posh frock rental places in the mall where I live - they thrive because of proms and such. Why dont you look in yellow pages in the posh frocks for tartin yourself up section

Re: Posh Do???
 

A department store eg. Nordstrom's, Macy's, Lord & Taylor.

As a last resort...a store where they sell wedding dresses & prom dresses but they might be OTT.

As it's late Spring I would go for a shorter (knee length) dress...I'd only wear a long one at around Christmastime.

He he.....are you going to get a manicure and hair-do for the occasion too LOL! ;)

Re: Posh Do???
 

I most certainly am.. :D Hate things like this, I am still plannig on breaking my arm or something to get out of it..unless I can convince Hubby that a trip to Chanel or Gucci is needed 'cos they're the only place that sell that kind of thing.. :rolleyes: :D

Re: Posh Do???
 

Marshall's and Ross often have nice evening wear at reasonable prices (though more so in the months leading up to Christmas - next time plan ahead ;)

But surely this is one of those occasions where 'the little black dress' (+/- pearls :D ) will do just perfectly?

Have fun! :) [better not too much though, seeing it's 'work'...]

Re: Posh Do???
 

Oh, I'm with the ladies. Dillards also has really nice frocks for a goodly price :)

Re: Posh Do???
 

Cheers ladies and Patrick, just nipped into Ross, bought one for $27.00!!!, woo hoo, fits me like a glove, my two year old says I look like a princess, aww :D, means I can now go spend $400 on some shoes.. ;)
Next question, anyone have any recommendations for them spray on tans, dress has spaghetti straps and due to lack of sunbathing weather in sunny California I'm pasty white.. :eek:

Tanning salon ;)

Ross is a great place to shop! Designer clothing at K-mart prices!

http://www.dresses.com/evening1.html Nos. 15, 26, 28 and 30 are my personal faves, even though I'd be constantly wiping the floor with all of them as I'm damn short LOL ... or do like me ... I'm completely clothed by J.C. Penney! LOL They seem to have everything you need. I hate wearing skirts and dresses, though. Am sitting here in my workout clothes after sweating my arse off (actually, that would have been nice) at a kickboxing class this evening, much more comfy in that kind of thing, so I know how you feel!

Found this too: http://www3.shopping.com/xDN-Clothin...dresses~V-grid

I would personally steer clear of any "satin" ones... they look like long lingerie. :p

Re: Posh Do???
 

my boobs would fall out of most of those, LOL.. :D

Re: Posh Do???
 

And your point is?
