Let’s deviate big time from the norm on this blog. Those possessing male genitalia may be rolling their eyes, but I’d actually like your opinions too.
We’ve got Ken’s office party tonight. I have never met any of these people. As you know I can be slightly outrageous and crude and I do not want to get him fired. Essentially, I want to make a decent first impression and not look like a slut. Keep in mind, the party starts at a local brewery (score) then we are taken by brewery-provided-bus to a fancy restaurant near Boulder, then back to brewery. I am told to dress “fancy.” Ken will be in a suit and tie.
I am really pushing it to the wire here, but I have two outfit options, so let’s have a vote. Do not pay attention to hair and makeup. There is none. I haven’t even showered yet. Still have to go for a run and shave my pits: SICK!! That’s what happens in the winter.
But first of all, one of my pet peeves, the things I hate THE MOST is when I get home and find this piece of locked plastic shit on my clothes. They should pay me for my time to come back to the store to have it removed. Or I should buy one of those removers for my home, then I could shop lift a lot.
Option #1:
Dress: Forever 21 ($13.70! Bargain of the week)
Necklace: Kohls
Shoes: No clue
Hose: Hanes from Kohls
Option: #2:
Skirt: Forever 21, faux leather (fleather or pleather or whatever)
Shirt: Kohls
Necklace: Kohls
Hose: Hanes fromKohls
Shoes: No clue
Which one shall it be?
Option #1
Option #2
Option #3: None of the above. You should stay home, get in your sweats and not embarrass anyone.
SUAR
Shouldn't faux leather just be called plastic?
ReplyDeleteWow...HOT MAMA! I think I like two but if it's a fancier dinner one.
ReplyDelete2!!!
ReplyDeleteLove both but 2....love even more!
Have fun!!
#2! But I still think you could ROCK a sequin mini with a black turtle neck.
ReplyDelete#2, you look great in both, but #2 has more color.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #2!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
You look great in both...but 2!
ReplyDeletePS I bought a dress at Forever 21 last week also--for $15! I'm sure it will fall apart in like 6 wears but whatever--it'll get me through the holidays. WINNING!
I vote # 1 for fancy dinner.
ReplyDelete#2! HOTT mama!
ReplyDeleteI vote option #1!
ReplyDeleteI like #1 for a holiday party. But I think the shoes go better with the outfit in #2.
ReplyDeleteLove the color in outfit #2.
ReplyDelete#2 - festive and still very hot!
ReplyDeleteI like the first one better but they both look really nice. Not sure about the shoes though. The outfits are H-O-T..the shoes are too casual.

ReplyDeleteYou look great in both. But I LOVE number two. Now go find that razor!
ReplyDeleteI like outfit #1 (actually I like them both) but I agree with Rebecca that the shoes are too casual
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in both!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably wear option #2. The cut and fit of that top is really pretty.
Both are adorable but I like the color in option 2!
ReplyDeleteNumber 2... you look great! Have a wonderful time..they will love you
ReplyDeleteI vote #2! :)
ReplyDeleteBrewery = #2
ReplyDelete#2 definitely. As an added bonus #2 is also your favorite topic! Coincidence?
ReplyDelete#2 has my vote. #1 needs fancier shoes =)
ReplyDelete#2! Love the color! Always great for winter blahs! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteReally like #2.
ReplyDelete#1! You look great!
ReplyDelete#2, but get yourself some sexy dainty black heels.
ReplyDeleteoutfit #2. you look great!
ReplyDeleteBoth look great, except for the shoes!! Those are work shoes!! Get some strappy heels!!
ReplyDelete#2! Love the colour.
ReplyDeleteAs for the security tag, as long as it's not an ink one (doesn't look to be) you can cut it off yourself with side cutters. Snip off the top and cut the pin from inside. Or just cut the pin where it attaches to the tag. No, I'm not a thief, I've just been working in retail for *far* too long!
I vote #1 but you can't go wrong (unless you don't shave those pits LOL!) - Angela
ReplyDeleteOption 1, no hose. No one wears hose unless they are over 70. You are not over 70. yes it will be cold. Suck it up - I do. So...option 1, no hose, hooker heels (aka high heels). Yes, I know they will hurt as well. Again, suck it up. This is from a fashionista runner. have a great time and as long as you don't talk about poop - you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteI'm diggin #2, but you need some sexier shoes girl! Show some toe!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other Rebecca. #2 but different shoes.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI vote #2 b/c it's more fun! And you're totally fun, so you should go with the fun outfit!
ReplyDeleteI vote #2...and other shoes...or boots?
ReplyDeletedo you have black boots
#1 you also look great..but it is missing something festive...I am no fashionista trust me...
sequin mini? lets see that option
#2
ReplyDeleteI deleted my 1st comment because I forgot to say have a great time. Have a great time! My vote goes to outfit 2. The color is so nice. I've gotta agree with the other commenters on the shoes though.
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 with small high heeled shoes.
ReplyDelete#2 and if you fart just blame it on the guy next to you.
ReplyDeleteI vote #2 with new shoes. Do you have knee high black boots?
ReplyDeleteOption 1 by a long shot. Nothing wrong with number two (that should be funny to you), but number one shows off your shoulders, arms, and little itty bitty waist more.
ReplyDelete#2...number one looks too summery. I love the color too :)
ReplyDeleteOption #2 for Sure and for sure different shoes!
ReplyDeleteoutfit #2 with Newer up to date shoes! ♥
ReplyDeleteNo. 1 but you need sassier shoes! Can't go wrong with black! Great deal too.

ReplyDelete2 definately 2
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOutfit #2 without the hose. Sub in some tights and high boots. Hose=Old.
ReplyDeleteDitto on #2 and different shoes. :) Gotta have either sexier strappy all black shoes or high heeled, sexy, black boots.:)
ReplyDeleteLove both outfits, though!
2! nice legs, hottie!
ReplyDeleteOption #2! No hose and some sexy black heels!!
ReplyDeleteOption #2! No hose and some sexy black heels!!
ReplyDeleteIf he's in a suit & tie, you're in #1. Can't go wrong with an LBD.
ReplyDeleteYes! Boots! Do you have some? Skip the hose, but if you think your legs will be too cold, how about tights and boots? This is fun.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely number one, with different shoes, WITH the hose! Number 2 is nice, but not quite fancy enough.
ReplyDeleteNumber 1. This is Ken's new job, right? LBD always tasteful - you want to make a good impression. Number2 - more fun but you don't know these people and plethor might be too over the top.
ReplyDeleteOption #2!
ReplyDeleteNumber 2!!!! But with different shoes.
ReplyDelete#2. Color the security tag black with a sharpie. Get even more creative color it a pattern to make it an accessory :)
ReplyDeleteOption 2 for the brewery party and definitely no hose. Never wear pantyhose.
ReplyDeleteAnd find somewhere else to wear Option 1 immediately -- you look great in that dress.
Have fun!
Option 1! But only because of the fancy dinner part ... LOVE them both!
ReplyDeleteI like 1. And why does no one like hose? I do.
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of votes for option #2. But i'd vote for Option #1 hands down. BTW: At first glance, I thought that the pic of your pit was a very veiny back. ick.
ReplyDeleteLove both! But I would go with option #1 for a Christmas party. Also, the shoes have got to go. Some cute pumps?
ReplyDeleteI like outfit #2! Have fun :-)
ReplyDeleteI know that you are over talking about vegas but I thought that you should know that I found out through the grapevine (aka facebook) that a runner from Vancouver, BC who after running the rock n roll vegas marathon experienced "flu-like symptoms" and progressivly got worse until she passed away yesterday afternoon. I will keep her name anonymous out of respect for her family but I am shocked that this happened and can only wonder what it was that she was infected with. How much more fallout will there be? Truely shocked...
ReplyDelete#2, I like the added color to the outfit :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great in #2. (WAIT - DID I JUST SAY THAT?!?). Seriously - you look gorgeous in that color. :)
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes for outfit #2!
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes for outfit #2!
ReplyDeleteOk- #1 looks awesome on you, and other than the shoes (!), I would vote for this one...however, I think you should go with #2 because if you wear dress #1- the other women are going to hate you! Those toned legs and arms- tiny waist- HOT MAMA is right (see Ted's answer...need I say more?)!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNumber two!!! (No pun intended) LOVE that shirt, I was just in Kohl's this afternoon and had to force myself to pass it by and buy gifts for other people.
ReplyDeleteI would say #1 with different shoes and a shrug or sparkly sweater/jacket but then I'd be making my own Option 3 I guess...
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice lean bod. and great arms and shoulders. Show it all off with Number 1.
ReplyDeleteHAVE A GREAT TIME! :)
The top one. You look GREAT in it.
ReplyDelete#1 looks good but with natural hose and a fancier shoe #2 is good but those shoes again are killing the outfit....show off your beautiful legs with a sexy shoe
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong. Both are awesome! If I had to choose, it would be two.
ReplyDeleteI like #1 but all that black washes you out too much. #2 works better for your personality and body IMHO
ReplyDelete#2!
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong. Both are awesome! if I had to choose, I'd pick two.
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, you look AMAZING in both outfits. Seriously, AMAZING. But as a veteran of office parties at three different companies, I caution you that Option 1 shows way too much skin for that setting. And I say that not because I'm a prude-- I'm not. I live and work in L.A., where dental floss is worn as bikini tops, and why not, if yu've got the body for it? It's just that there's a time and a place, no matter how rockin' your body is, and an office holiday party-- especially your first outing with his colleauges-- isn't the place for a super short, skin tight LBD (even if it shows off your sculpted runner's bod). So it's a good thing your second outfit is also smashing... Option 2 FTW!
ReplyDeleteTotally option 2!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely option 1. I think it's classier and more flattering. And sky-high shoes!
ReplyDelete2nd option. . .shows personality more than the LBD. IMHO
ReplyDeleteI left the comment about the office party setting, and just to be clear: super short, skin tight LBDs are awesome, especially on people who take care of themselves as well as you do. I just want to be clear that my comment wasn't meant to be judgmental in the least. The dress is awesome. You look awesome in it. Seriously, you are an inspiration in that thing. Stunning. Just not for the office holiday party where you meet everyone for the first time. Okay, that's it for my two cents. Have fun!
ReplyDelete2
ReplyDeleteHave fun!! :)
i like option 2 better. Have fun!
ReplyDelete#2
ReplyDeleteLOVE #2 but I'm sure you already got your outfit on.
ReplyDeleteMight be too late for my vote as I noticed this was posted three hours ago. But I'd vote #2.
ReplyDeleteLove #1!
ReplyDeleteIt's probably too late, but you can never go wrong with a LBD. With your figure, the Ler the better.
ReplyDeleteYou look GREAT in both, but I'd go for #2. Ken's colleagues will all be lusting for you.
ReplyDeleteOh, but shave those pits first!!
I love #1! Do you have a colorful pashmina or shawl to throw on too? That'd provide some warmth and some color. Hot stuff!
ReplyDelete2! But you guys probably drinking already!
ReplyDeleteOk. HOT MAMA. You're hot in both but #1, LBD, can't be beat. However...geez, your legs are fantastic, get a higher heel! Really. Show off those calves. :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll freeze your ass off in either but go for 2.
ReplyDeleteNo. 2 definitely! Both look great but no. 2 is the wiener!
ReplyDeleteAnd please do not let your arm pit hair get like that again:)
Awesome....2
ReplyDeleteI think you look happier in #1.
ReplyDeleteyou're out by now but I hope you chose #2 ... :)
ReplyDeleteOption 1
ReplyDelete1!
ReplyDeleteWhen did I miss that Ken got a job? Congrats to him!
ReplyDeleteYou're out now but I'm sure you wore the right outfit since they were both great!
Can you send me the one you didn't wear so I have something for my work party tomorrow night??
#2 with cute shiny flats - love the boho look!
ReplyDelete#2 rocks!! so post pics of what you wore. hopefully you wore some killer strappy, tall as all get out FMP's with it too!!! and some smoky eyes! you look great in that style of shirt!!!! i can see it w/ some nice means and tall boots too for later!
ReplyDelete*nice JEANS, not "means". hope you had fun! I threw a Tacky Sweater party and scavenger hunt tonight. it was Epic!
ReplyDeleteNumber 2, although I'm sure I'm too late to matter.
ReplyDelete#2!!
ReplyDeleteI love #1!
ReplyDelete2 with boots
ReplyDeleteHOT mama go with leather.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, of course, we are all dying to see what you in fact wore. Unless you took both and changed part way through, just to confuse the drooling guys.
ReplyDelete#2. I love them both, but the color in 2 plus it's a little lower key as far as tightness. I prefer the tightness, but drinks, dinner, etc... #2 means you can hide any bloating and relax more....
ReplyDeleteDefinitely number two!
ReplyDeleteOption #2
ReplyDeleteI think #2 is cuter, #1 is hotter. I tend to agree with the previous comment that #1 shows a bit much skin for an office party, but then again most office parties don't start at a brewery, so not too conservative there, it appears.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time.
ONE Word: LASER..You will never have to shave again and by the way I like The purple.
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party (get it)....I would have said #2 but what did you go with?
