WWYD?
So today I emailed one of my parents to let her know I was off after today and gave her my personal email. I love working with her and her son and she started a group that has paired with Easter Seals that promotes use of iPad with students with special needs. So, she is a great networking resource especially right now with things so up in the air for me.
She emailed me back just now and invited me share a luncheon table at a charity event at a super fancy country club. It's free, I'm not working and it would be great for networking.
But, it's so last minute, I feel like a blob, and all of these women in the advertisement look super fancy. Also, it is a highly photographed event.
Would you go?

And if so, what should I wear? I am not buying a hat, she said only about 20% wear them.
I have a dress from Motherhood that I wore last year to another event. It is just cotton, it's knee length, huge black polka dots with a red sash on an empire waist. Do I need pantyhose?
Re: WWYD?
You're right. I bet they have awesome dessert.
I will not wear a hat though. I refuse.
Jessics Simpson would go, and she'd wear something tight.
Go, and have fun!
I say go, it could be a great opportunity!
I think being 9 months pregnant gives you an automatic out on pantyhose though.
we all fall down sometimes
brass and ballet flats
How about pants? Could I do a nice black pant with a cute top and a jacket?
It's going to be rainy tomorrow.
I don't think I'd wear pants.
How can you not want to wear a hat? I want to go just so I can wear a hat. I love hats.
I emailed her and she responded yippeee immediately so I made the right choice I think.
SHe also talked about clothing choices so it sounds like she is just as perplexed as I am. Yay! I really like her guys. She is so nice.
OK, so where would I find a hat?
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
My coworker said "Don't wear pantyhose. Only grandmas wear them" And my other coworker says "I WEAR THEM. But oh yeah I'm a grandma"
SO, good. No pantyhose.
I could seriously light a distance universe with how pale my legs are though.
I hear you on the pale thing. I'm practically translucent.
Go to your local drug store. Pick up the Jergens Natural Glow FOAM (not the lotion) in fair/medium. Apply foam to legs tonight and tomorrow morning. It will give you a touch of natural-looking color with minimal streaking, and it doesn't have that terrible self-tanner smell. I mean, it does, but only for a second. It's gone the moment it dries.
I should own stock in this stuff. It doesn't make me look tan, but rather like a more human, less terrifying version of myself.

The foam is a million times better. It dries so much faster, smells so much less and hasn't clogged my pores -- and I am cursed with acne-prone, sensitive skin. The foam is a godsend.

I second the Jergens rec.
Don't wear pantyhose.
Is there a costume shop you could rent a big fun hat from?
Have fun!
Orrrrrr, you can get a jaunty fascinator!
Hot Topic carries 'em. Not that I go to Hot Topic, but it's true, if you're in a pinch.

I wish I had read this post 3 hours ago, before it was too late to run to the store tonight. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just wear pants tomorrow and get some to put on for Wednesday.
