Outfit update!

I seriously can't believe how much I debated over the dress I am wearing tonight to Joe's holiday party.  I've been obsessing over it.  I guess because I wear "mom" clothes everyday and don't get out much, the holiday party is a bit intimidating to me.  And the crowd that will be at this party is an elite bunch.  I feel a bit out of my league.

So, hearing from my readers was awesome! I highly recommend posting your outfits for a public vote for an important event!  It's a great way to get multiple opinions.  Anywho - the black dress was winning by about 1 vote.  (Unless I followed my friend Nicole's method and gave the men's vote a heavier weight. In that case, black won by far.)

I really wanted to wear the red.  At the end of the day, I felt like it was something I would never wear, but it made me feel fabulous!  I felt like a million bucks in that thing.  And I can always wear a black dress. But the red Von Furstenburg is unique and could only be worn at an occasion like this evening. 

But, Joe liked the black better on me.  And any man I asked - chose black.  This just goes to show what men want - tight and black. I could be wearing something from the dollar store, and as long as it shows the body and some leg, it's a winner.  But, my friend's dress was so tight I honestly feared that I'd pop a seam.  Seriously. No joke.  And I know I wouldn't even want to sit down at the party for fear that something would rip.  So, I splurged and bought a tight fitting black dress with new shoes (you can't tell from the picture but they are bejeweled and sparkly).  The new dress' fabric is a bit more giving so I feel comfortable moving in it - a good thing!

I asked Joe if he thought it was too much. I want to look sexy, but I also want to look like a wife and a mother.  Tall women who wear short things can easily look like hookers.  But Joe assured me that the dress is perfect for the party.  So, the above is what I'll be wearing.  If it was up to me, I'd be in red.  But, this time, I'm going with what the husband wants.  We never go out. I might as well look my best for him.

Anyways,  I can't wait to go!  They take pictures, there's a dinner, pool tables, dancing, photobooths - sounds like a whole lot of fun!

Thank you readers for all your outfit votes and compliments!  I'll be sure to post some pictures with hair and make up done!
