Work function, how dressy?/

Hello! I have to go to a recognition dinner at work tonight- and I have no idea how dressy I should be!!

DH is fine, he's wearing a shirt & a tie...

Me.... either a little black dress (somewhat sparkly, with a black sparkly sweater b/c it's probably slightly too low cut for work) OR a black & white print cotton dress with a red sash/sweater.  I'm not sure if the second option would be too casual or if the first would be too dressy!

I've only gotten vague responses from co-workers, and am waiting to hear back from the one that will probably answer it exactly the way I am hoping!

 I don't have pictures of either with me.   

 

 

Re: Work function, how dressy?/

  • I guess without really knowing much about the event myself, I would go with the little black sparkly dress.  You can never go wrong with a little black dress.  My rule of thumb is that I would rather be over dressed than under dressed.   HTH!

    This.  You could also maybe bring some more casual jewelry in your purse and swap to that if necessary.  Have fun!

    Everyone welcome.
  • I agree that it's better to be over dressed than under dressed but honestly it sounds like both of your options would work just fine-I would go with whichever one is most comfy.

    Fourth Anniversary

    Thanks!   I am going to go with the black dress.   I guess people wear all sorts of things to this...   and my friend said she assumed it was like a semi-formal event we had in grad school- and she found out it wasn't once she got there!  They said some people will be in jeans, some in formal gowns, and everything in between.  I do not want to be TOO casual, so the black dress is a safe bet (since I am no longer a student and now one of the faculty :) ).
