What follows is basically a discussion that Rick and I had when he came home from work tonight. I was asking him what I should wear to our “Champagne & Candlelight” evening out at Skylands Manor on Saturday. It went something like this.
Me:
What should I wear? Something fancy or not quite as fancy? (Note: I spent three hours down in Wayne today trying on clothes with nothing to show for it.)
Rick:
You have a closet full of things!
Me:
Uhm… okay. I have a a handful of dresses that might work. Some are really party dresses.
Rick:
You have tons of stuff to wear!
Me:
Okay. I have the little slit-down-to my nearly-navel little gold number I wore to the Opera last year.
Rick:
Yeah, I really like that one. Maybe too much for this event though.
Me:
Okay, you’re probably right. Too much cleavage for this crowd. I have the little classic black dress, you know, the A-line one with the cap sleeves that I wore down the shore this summer?
Rick:
What’s A-line mean? What are cap sleeves?
Me:
Hmm. Okay, never mind. Or I have the the cobalt blue dress with the stone necklace neckline with the ruffles. Remember, I wore it on vacation in Cancun? I wore it the night I got so tipsy before our flight back that you had to pack for me? (It’s still a tad wrinkled from your packing.)
Rick:
No, I don’t remember that one. What’s a necklace neckline? (Excuse me, who was the
tipsy one here?)
Me:
Okay. Great. How about the black dress with the asymmetrical shoulder, ruffles, that I wore when we went to New Orleans?
Rick:
Don’t know. Don’t remember that one. But I do know what ruffles are.
Sigh.
The question is: what should I wear? Any votes?
