I have dressy casual clothes for going out (aka tight jeans), business formal clothes for work but no 'sober casual' wear. I end up looking like a klutz either way.Ameethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312886958581237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-58378958096622267782006-11-23T08:32:00.000-05:002006-11-23T08:32:00.000-05:00i loved that dress as well!!! for most christening...i loved that dress as well!!! for most christenings, i think this would fit right in. obviously they did the semi casual thing! but my sisters daughters christening,they wore things similar to the lacy dress. i am sure that color and cute looked great on u. love the twinset as well!!! gosh i need some new clothes!rabiaimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328847144530070714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-46077552719678033342006-11-23T00:53:00.000-05:002006-11-23T00:53:00.000-05:00i really like the 'mother of the bride' part....kh...i really like the 'mother of the bride' part....khikz... :Paragornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079470540348611961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-32262532212044525632006-11-22T15:54:00.000-05:002006-11-22T15:54:00.000-05:00girl you're making me so nervous. you truly are. ...girl you're making me so nervous. you truly are. b/c I loved the dress. i'm going to a holiday party and i bought a dress and now i'm worried whether i will be inappropriately dressed!Bengali Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030646989651589089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-3806933698401891472006-11-22T15:31:00.000-05:002006-11-22T15:31:00.000-05:00Chicmommy, I agree even dressing for a random desi...Chicmommy, I agree even dressing for a random desi dinner party can be the equivalent of dressing for a non-desi engagement/formal dinner party. I, too, tend to dress wwwwaaaaayyyyy over the top for non-desi functions, esp. with makeup and jewelry. Not Britney Spears makeup as on Matt Lauer interview, that was just wrong. But heavier makeup than non-desis would wear. And I find ways to incorporate some Indian jewelry into my non-Indian wardrobe. <br /><br />The dress you liked was pretty and although the face of the model isn't visible, she looks young. Not the mother of the bride figure, at least, no mother of the bride I know.<br /><br />I am hard set upon toning down the makeup, hair, jewelry this year for the Christmas parties but it's just so much fun to put on a bit of sparkle, etc.VRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146592599940009911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-45328333168865988182006-11-22T12:12:00.000-05:002006-11-22T12:12:00.000-05:00WCM, I thought the dress was cute too.

He knew his co-worker better than I did, and I would have looked like a complete idiot if I showed up in that dress while everyone else was dressed in sweaters and pants. I can never figure it out either, some people dress up alot, and some people dress down. At least at desi functions you know for sure you can never be too over the top.Chic Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883236924370716198noreply@blogger.com
