Event coming up...what to wear

KeepOnSingin · #1 07-25-2012, 12:27 PM

On Saturday I'm attending a sorority event as an interest and I'm trying to decide what to wear. It's a get together in Central Park, a BBQ I'm told, so nothing too fancy...but these sorority girls always look really cute and put together so I want to make sure I look good. What do you suggest I wear?

Semi-casual business attire?

Something comfortable that makes you look good, so you'll feel confident.

What did the invitation say?

If there's no mention of what to wear, I'd go with a crisp shirtwaist style dress in a color that doesn't show stains well, and has pockets, comfortable shoes (cute ballet shoes or wedges), and carry a purse big enough for a lot of literature. Go easy on the jewelry - maybe a watch, necklace, and earrings.

It doesn't mention anything about attire. What is a shirtwaist style dress??

I'd just go with a cute cotton sundress and some nice sandals or wedges. Ditto on what honeychile said about the big purse, expect a lot of handouts to bring home.

Okay. I have a lot of sun dresses. What sorts of handouts should I be expecting? It's the Annual SISTER/TIARA/INTEREST Summer Event.

Central Park...as in New York Central Park? My daughter would wear those shorts that look like a very short skirt and a cute fuller gauzy top. Do not forget the cute jewelry and the accessory de jour: the panama hat (if you have the face for it.) As much as you might want to wear sunglasses..don't...hides the eyes. A sundress is a natural fabric...

Oh, and if there is food have a Tide stick with you...just in case.

Yes, New York Central Park. I actually have a pair of those shorts you're talking about...as for jewelry...I have 2 necklaces that I never take off, 3 rings that I never take off, and a bracelet that I never take off, along with earrings. Is that good enough?

If you're trying to be discreet, this isn't the way to do it.

Discreet about what??

WhiteRose1912 · #11 07-25-2012, 07:30 PM

What organization you're trying to join and where. Then again, maybe you're not, in which case carry on.

I thought you were done with Greekchat after the last time you came here for wardrobe advice?

I wasn't trying to be discreet about the organization...but you have no idea where...not sure why you think you do...

Don't be surprised if you experience intense humidity.

KeepOnSingin · #15 07-25-2012, 07:42 PM

I'm used to humidity...it's been an extremely humid summer.
