I was looking for some clothes for the wedding yesterday and today, and while I found something for the Church "I do" part and the brunch (a blazer with matching pants and a lovely shirt - it fit me perfectly and I knew this is it when I tried it on and it looks pretty nice if I may say so myself - it was just one of those clothes when you're that lucky)
I still have to deal with the "formal dress" part.
First off, I went to three places so far and they had only summer-ish dresses with straps (no can do because I'm way too shy to wear that - I'd feel like everyone's staring at me - and it wasn't even anything low-cut!). There was one dress with sleeves but it was too dark (who wears dark stuff at weddings?). Just one - I mean, don't they make dresses with sleeves anymore these days or what?
Second, in one of the places the lady who sells the outfits suggested I wear a classy blouse-like thingy with pants/maaaaaybe a skirt (that could work...though the trouble is I don't know how strict the dressing rules are with those "von" weddings. I don't think I'll be banned from the wedding or something if I don't wear a dress...right?)
The "weird" part I'm referring to is that it seems I'm awkward at wearing dresses (even skirts for that matter). As long as I can remember I always felt better/more comfortable wearing pants. (maybe it's also partly because when I was little Mum would say "wear a skirt" and that was it) I know that girls are supposed to wear and like that...but not me. Am I a weirdo?
I'm off to more stores tomorrow. The wedding is in about 14 days and I have yet to find what to wear at the reception.
