Why did I have to be a girl? We have a wedding to go to next month and I still have nothing to wear. I’ve been out shopping the last three nights, I’ve bought two dresses, took them both back, just bought a third one tonight, but I’m leaving the tags on. I don’t like dresses but the last wedding I wore pants (beautiful silk ones) and I was the only woman in pants, so now I need a dress, since I do not own one. Men just put on a tie and jacket or suit but it’s not easy for women. Here’s my dress dilemma: How long? Above or below the knee? Something frilly? Don’t want to out-frill the bride. What about color? Will fuschia be too distracting? “Look at her trying to steal the spotlight!” Then black. Can’t go wrong with basic black. Too morbid? Will it send a message that their marriage is doomed? What about a jacket? I might look like I stopped by the wedding on my way to a business seminar. What’s the dress code? Even restaurants will tell you “upscale casual.” It’s just too stressful. I need to bake some cookies.
