The first dress Shandra posted is flirty and feminine plus the shawl covers the arms in style. The other outfits look too "granny or christian" IMO.

Whatever you decide to wear, make sure to show plenty cleavage and put on some pretty pretty earrings. If you spend the evening seated, that's what people will see most of the time anyway. Enjoy yourself tonight.

Mtngal - let me know if you find anything and where. I started picking up things at Penningtons and Additional Elle this year and I'm not too thrilled with theie very limited selection of styles for formal or even work wear.

By the way, I was driving yesterday afternoon through that storm and ended up driving under a recent fallen wire on Duplex Ave., and then through a mini lake on Bayview just south of Steeles. Never seen anything like that before! I hope you didn't have to venture out last night.

So what did you wear last night mountaingal? Tell us about the evening?

Re: funky styles for fat chicks

morning Black star. i put myself through torture yesterday, trying to find an outfit. My first shock was finding out that the major department stores in Scarborough don't carry formal wear! They carry those in their downtown stores. Another reason for me to quit the burbs as soon as mi can afford it.

i found the Voluptuous store and bought a sheer top that never look too bad. But the damned store had no camisoles or decent tank tops to go under it...i don't get it...

long story short, i dug through my and my daughter's closet and cobbled together an embroidered black top with a long formal skirt. My girls pronounced me presentable (though they really wanted me to wear the sheer top.)

the event was very sweet, a couple who celebrated 50 years of marriage. they are community leaders, too. so lots of activists and politicians in the crowd, stalwarts and newcomers, young and old. i reconnected with a lot of people that i don't see much of anymore because of this suburban existence i've adopted. and i bonded with an older lady at my table, a Kingstonian through and through on both sides of her family. i had a good time!

Re: funky styles for fat chicks

sounds like a good choice in outfits mountaingal.

i recall you were looking for gift ideas a few weeks back for this function. what did u give?

[mountaingal]

Re: funky styles for fat chicks

hi kia. i gave cash. i remember that in a lot of modern african tradition, giving people money is a great honour or so i tell myself. i was contemplating a CD compilation of hits from the year they were married (1955), but music is so personal. turns out they love Sammy Davis Junior, and i KNOW i would never have thought of getting them that.

Deciding what to wear to these functions can be so traumatic (at least for me), so glad to hear you had a good time, mountaingal.
