On the Hunt...

When we were in Vegas, Meowmix pointedly asked me when I decided to dress all "girly-girl". Honestly, I don't know if it was the Florida sunshine or the weight loss or what, but this gal looks good in a damn skirt. So, you can imagine my shock this weekend when I go to pull a dress out of my closet for a friend's wedding, and find it bare like Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

Well - there was the dress that I wore to the International Dance Music Awards a few years ago but, nah - it has to go to the dry cleaners.
There was my Grammy dress, but that was way too formal for this event. Not to mention, I need to have the hem resewn - my heels - the streets of LA walking to the arena - non-mixy things.
Well - then I had my white skirt, lace top and military jacket - looked too much like the damn JC Penny ad (cute outfit but so not for a wedding)
Finally -there was my new brown/black chiffon skirt that I wore in Vegas. However, the tops that go with it were way too casual.
We'll forget the beige circle skirt & cropped jacket - too suity for the wedding and lets not even get into the full length leather skirt I have. (However, it just dawned on me - I have a full length leather skirt with a sleeveless mock neck top that I got from Newport News 5 years ago that has *never* been worn.. hmmm.. remind me to check that for suit options this fall).

So, much to my dismay - I didn't have anything dressy that wasn't too "worky". I wound up wearing my favorite coral blazer, a pearl camisole and black pants, but still... I should have been more girly-girl. It was my friend's wedding after all.

So, if I will ever get out of my shopping funk, there are a couple dresses that I am interested in checking out - Reese is recommending Nordys and A Pretty Pear is recommending a gorgeous dress at Torrid. If y'all ever met Reese - she's got impeccable fashion taste - as I found out once when we both showed up for a trip to Philly with the same skirt in different colors. (Hey - that skirt is still in my closet - hmmm..yet another undiscovered treasure). So when she recommends something that she thinks is *so me*, much like E.F. Hutton - I'll listen.

Now if only my legs won't look so shockingly Addams Family White...
