Okay people, talk me down from the ledge..

Okay, not really...

Remember that work Christmas party that I was telling you about for DH's job? He found out about it last week and told me, but all he knew at the time was that it was this Friday.  No time, no location, nothing.  He was assuming that it'd be at a restaurant since there aren't many employees at the job.

Um, no.  It's at a very elegant reception hall and it's a formal event.  Now the "Old Sarah" (a.k.a. "Pre-children") would have been all "ahh!! This is awesome!!" because I could have worn some delightful formal thing from my closet that never sees the light of day.  However, I'm currently sportin' an extra 10-15lbs than most of my clothes and I can guarantee you nothing is going to fit.  Holy moly, now I'm stressed.  My Mom can probably watch the girls while I try to find something, but I know she won't have much time available being the week before Christmas.  AHHH!!!!

  • Good Luck finding something, i hope you find something amazing and have a great time at the Party!

     

  • Spanx! Wink  I hope you find something that's awesome at the first store you go into! I would go straight to Nordstrom. Last time I was there, they had 3 clearance racks in the fancy dress dept.  GL!

  • Jump!!!!   j/k

    I got a dress for a wedding I sang in from Von Maur discount rack.  I don't know what size you are, it might be too big for you, but you can borrow it.  It's black.

    Good luck, hope you find something.

  • It's always fun looking for formal dresses! Make a fun trip out of it and you will look absolutely beautiful!
  • I am sure you will look gorgeous no matter what you wear.  Maybe someone you know has something you can borrow if you don't want to buy something?  

    I think once you are there and all dressed up you will have a wonderful time and be happy you went.

  • I have a bridesmaids dress you could borrow Wink  

     

    Don't stress too much!  I'd buy a pair of spanx to try with your pre-baby attire, just to see. 

    I feel you though... I'm carrying an extra ooooh... 20+lbs Crying from my baby (that I had 19 months ago!)
