Please give me your opinion on this outfit for a wedding (PIP)!

mrs.bridgettkay · October 2008

I have a friend's wedding I am attending tomorrow and handing out programs. I would normally wear a dress but it's suppose to be in the 40s here tomorrow. Does this outfit look dressy enough? The picture cut off but I'd be wearing black pants. Thanks!

Sarah4806 · October 2008

I think that it looks fine for a wedding. Have fun!

futuremrscrocco · October 2008

Is it an afternoon or evening wedding?

Hmm, it's okay, but if it's evening I would say it needs to be dressier. jmo.

cyndelgrace · October 2008

I think it looks fine for a wedding (or a funeral...) I would pick a brighter shirt if you have one. But considering the colder weather I guess you'll be alright...

cyndelgrace · October 2008

I ditto the Q: what time of day, also...

JARbaby · October 2008

Honestly I hate pants on women at weddings. That outift is cute for the office but very lax for a wedding. Esp if it is after 4pm.

mrs.bridgettkay · October 2008

The wedding's at 3:30 pm.

alicatt79 · October 2008

I think it looks nice. I love your haircut!

JARbaby · October 2008

Which means reception in the evening so DEF too casual.

cork722 · October 2008

I just wore black pants, heels and a satin top to a wedding last weekend and it was an evening wedding. I felt great in it! You are pregnant, so wear what you want!!

jade_sweatpea · October 2008

I would wear a dress but it's cold and you need to be comfy so if you are ok with it go for it.

Miss.Modular · October 2008

it looks more office-ish than wedding. i would really go for a skirt/dress!

p.s. i am big fan of your hair. just thought i put that out there lolz

cyndelgrace · October 2008

I agree with JAR, a bit dressier would be nice. It does look very office for an late afternoon/evening wedding...

Miss.Modular · October 2008

ohhh early evening reception? YOU MUST go dressier.

if it's cold, just wear a jacket! is it an outdoor wedding???

mrs.bridgettkay · October 2008

Thanks for the compliments on the hair! I might just suck up and wear a dress. I think it looks nicer but am such a freeze baby!

AlbanyBride33 · October 2008

I think it's a little on the casual side too..however, I feel like people usually cut PG women a little slack.

mrs.bridgettkay · October 2008

Albanybride, the dress you have on in your profile picture is really cute. Where did you get it from?

JARbaby · October 2008

People do cut slack but since she is pregnant more attention will be drawn to her, no excuse to not look 100% fab, esp with such a great hair cut. ALWAYS better to be over dressed than under dressed, and since she has a role be it minor she is still representing the bride and groom and should be a little dresser based on that alone.

CWMC · October 2008

I say it looks fine. I would just care about being comfortable and warm:)

BrideNamedMeg · October 2008

I think you look great, I wouldn't wear a dress if it was going to be cold. No one really cares what other people wear to a wedding as long as it's not completely inappropriate.

Miss.Modular · October 2008

dark tights are hip right now. so wear a dress/skirt, and dark warm tights.

JARbaby · October 2008

Here (in DC) and where I grew up (NJ/Philadelphia) they do notice esp if too casual.

mrstinkerbell · October 2008

If you were just going to the wedding I would say it was fine, but since you are having a part in the wedding I would say go a little dressier.

Just because YOU notice doesn't mean everyone does.

MrsA11 · October 2008

I agree a dress would be much better. You look cute, but the outfit is very "business casual".

kds24 · October 2008

I was going to say maybe get something like AlbanyBride has on in her siggy. I *think* Target or Motherhood might have a simple dress like that that won't cost a ton and you can do whatever you want with accessories.

alicatt79 · October 2008

Wear what you'll be comfortable in and smile. No one is going to remember what you wore (sorry). BTW, if you were my friend, I'd be grateful that you were willing to stand and hand out programs when you're as pg as you are. I bet your friend is just happy you're going to be a part of her big day! Have fun!

AlbanyBride33 · October 2008

I got it at Macy's last year. It's actually not maternity and I just managed to squeeze in it. It's empire waist so it wasn't a matter of fitting my stomach, it was just super tight in the "bust".

Because you don't notice does not mean that everyone else is unaware.

Solelle · October 2008

Isabella Oliver has great dresses for attending a wedding. I bought a floor length black dress from there and I got compliments on it all night at a wedding I went to recently.

BrideNamedMeg · October 2008

I never said I didn't notice, it's my job to notice things, I just don't care.

I go to 30+ weddings a year, I see a VERY wide range of dress. I just don't think it matters at all in the grand scheme of things. People who *really* care that much confuse me.

bstngrl578 · October 2008

This late in the game I would probably not buy something that I would not be able to wear again. It looks fine and nobody is going to be rude enough to comment on what you are wearing. Like the PP said, nobody will remember what you wear!

mrs.bridgettkay · October 2008

Solelle, thanks for the suggestion on the dress but the wedding is tomorrow...yes, I'm a procrastonator. I orginally liked the idea of wearing a dress and thought the outfit in the picture was a little casual but DH was saying it looked fine. That's why I came to you ladies for opinions.

JARbaby · October 2008

Thats what I think when I see someone not care what they have on or how they look even when out in public be ESP at an event they are invited to, it leaves the impression that they do not care how they present themselves. I do not understand that.

Having a wedding business I understand going to many weddings per year.

There is nothing confusing about how you present yourself and the strong message it sends to others about how much you care about yourself and others.

Lucy_Plus_One! · October 2008

I think the outfit you are planning on wearing is just fine. Especially if its a little chilly there. No one will care, and you are pregnant so you can get away with it. If you are uncomfortable in it because you think its too casual, then wear the dress. Otherwise, I think its fine and you wont freeze.

SarahMay77 · October 2008

Yes, wear it. You look great. I haven't worn a skirt or dress this entire pregnancy, including to weddings.

XjunefifthX · October 2008

I don't think it is appropriate....a lot of people are going to see you as you are handing out programs...even if you think it looks fine, show some respect for your friend and her wedding day.

MayDayGirl · October 2008

you look great!

MayDayGirl · October 2008

after reading everyone's comments I can't believe what I'm hearing! Maybe it's a MN thing but I am a wedding videographer and generaly film $30,000+ weddings and I see women wearing outfits like that all the time.

I never wear dresses (except ironically when pg!)

LadySara17 · October 2008

I think it looks nice - and I think people will cut you some slack for not wearing a dress because you're pregnant!
