So, this evening just to double check I tried on the dress I was planning to wear to my shower this weekend and discovered my stomache has outgrown it. Oops! It is a maternity dress, hence my not anticipaing this problem I tried on every dress I have that may be an option, and the one that looks best is black. Is it too unfestive for the MTB to wear black to her June afternoon shower? I'm hoping the right jewelry will resolve the issue, cause I don't really have time to shop for something at this point. What do y'all think, ok or do I need to find a way to make the time to try to find a nonblack dress to wear?
I wear black all the time and I live in FL. I feel like it looks better on me. I wear a lot of black maxi skirts with a bright top or black capri pants.
Thanks for the additional responses! Clearly I was worrying about nothing in most people's minds. While I tend to wear a good bit of black in my day to day, like Chattychiq, it's NMS to wear black to a wedding, so it likewise feels NMS to wear black as the honoree of a baby shower. But I'm going to go with it with confidence knowing that's a minority opinion! (and I really don't think I'll easily find anything I like with the little bit of shopping time I may have before Saturday!)
Wear what you feel good in (or simply fits). As you said, with the right jewelry and shoes, you'll look great. Have fun.
