You guys, what the heck should I wear?

I'm co-hosting a bridal shower two weeks from today, and I just don't even know what to do with myself and what I should wear. I *want* to wear denim shorts with the cuffs rolled, metallic flat sandals, and a striped top, similar to this: http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/knitstees/shortsleevetees/PRDOVR~81099/99102691078/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~20+17+4294967121~90~~~~~~~/81099.jsp   Is that too casual for a shower, do you think? I'm just not very girly, and showers give me fits when it comes to clothes.

What do you think?  

 

Re: You guys, what the heck should I wear?

  • I would replace the denim shorts (they scream teenager to me...) with a nice summery skirt and keep the top, and put that with a nice pair of sandals and nicely manicured toenails.

    However, if you're co-hosting, then ask the other hostess what she plans to wear and maybe you guys can plan together.

    The only reason I'd wear shorts to a bridal shower is if the rsvp card said specifically to do so.

  • Sounds fine to me, but then again I love wearing shorts anywhere I can get away with it. It's a casual gathering of friends- I don't think they'll care what you wear.

  • As co-host, I imagine you have some idea how formal it is? I've honestly never been to a shower where everyone wasn't in dresses or skirts. But if it's super-casual, something else might be fine. Probably not denim shorts, regardless. 
  • I *kind* of have some idea, sort of. It's a beer-themed shower, like with tastings, so it's not your typical shower, I suppose. I'll ask the other host and see what she's wearing. The trouble is, I don't own any skirts that would go very well (they're either too fancy or more for fall weather) and I just don't want to go buy a new one.

    I'm really not giving you all much to work with, am I? Apparently I just want to whine more about this than figure out an actual solution. ;) 

  • Well, that sounds like my kind of shower! Reminds me on SATC how Miranda wanted fried chicken at her baby shower.

    If it's super-casual, I would still nix the denim shorts and wear a nice pair of bermuda shorts and that cute striped shirt, or capris if you like them.

    But, I'm very anti-denim-shorts past the age of college...it's just a thing of mine. I know others feel differently.

  • I would just wear the denim shorts. That is a very "you" outfit and you should feel comfortable. 

    I want to know more about a beer tasting shower...I am in wedding shower baby shower hell right now and need some new ideas...

  • Denim shorts sound damn near perfect for a beer-themed bridal shower (which sounds awesome, btw).

  • I wouldn't do denim shorts for a shower, but I don't actually own any, either. I think maybe it's an age thing.
  • I like the idea of a skirt/capris better, but I wouldn't judge you for wearing shorts by any means.
