Found a lovely black, floaty, mid-calf length Next dress in the RSPCA shop for a tenner. Perfect! What is the point of going to great expense for something you know you'll never wear again? You're more than welcome to have it if you want!Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17613273681468961656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074590606650722321.post-91121227611660636412011-02-19T03:37:26.287+00:002011-02-19T03:37:26.287+00:00Don't people realize the angst they put us thr...Don't people realize the angst they put us through with these invitations????!!!!<br />I'm with wonderwoman too....classic black!<br /><br />Good luck!Nonbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834912977304515094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074590606650722321.post-89308363698402509672011-02-17T13:07:26.893+00:002011-02-17T13:07:26.893+00:00I like Gina's suggestion of floaty black trous...I like Gina's suggestion of floaty black trousers and top and something bright to accessorize.

It does sound posh though. Basic black with something bright (scarf/shawl/flower/necklace) to jazz it up I guess. What ever you wear - please post a photo of you just so the rest of us who don't go to these things will know what to wear, if on the remote chance we ever get invited to one.Calidorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118238727781108509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074590606650722321.post-75296689798086615402011-02-17T00:31:51.436+00:002011-02-17T00:31:51.436+00:00Like some of the ladies above, I like black and I ...Like some of the ladies above, I like black and I really like the wide black pants that are swishy and almost look like a long black skirt. I am a fan of the long cardigan and the earth toned satin Asian-y jacket (I suppose it would be Chinese-y).
