Cheesy Christmas gathering where I'll be expected to wear

[crim son]

the classic "Christmas sweater" with a spangled tree on it, and hanging Santa Claus earrings. I don't wanna! Is it okay to go to a Christmas party with absolutely nothing festive on except maybe some diamonds? I have to decide quickly. Skirt? Pants? Oh wait, I don't have any dress pants. I'm screwn. :(

[billyskank]

1. Of course it's okay

:hug:

:hi:

[crim son]

5. That's what I'm hoping. I'm leaving straight from

the party to go out so I have to find a balance. Good jewelry but relatively casual clothes... not that anybody cares after a couple of eggnogs anyway. :hug: Hi, sweetie!

[billyskank]

8. I know you'll look fabulous

:loveya:

[crim son]

17. I'll remember that if anybody makes any rude comments.

And even if they don't! :loveya:

2. I want pics, dammit!

:D

[crim son]

7. Unlikely!

Unless I look fabulous which I'm not anticipating. I don't like these types of parties... and I will only know the hostess.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Oh, you'll look fabulous in anything.

;)

[crim son]

18. Oh, naturally.

:rofl:

Have a good evening. I have to get ready now. :) :) :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. Have fun!:

:hi:

3. Go with the skirt then...

I got a party to go to tonight, but at least I can wear jeans...:D

[crim son]

10. I am going out to have a drink afterward. If I find the right skirt, I'll do that.

I'm off to wax my eyebrows, lol.

[Broken_Hero]

16. Wax your eyebrows? Ouch...

my wife just plucks....I don't envy you at all...I hope you have fun tonight :hi:

[crim son]

19. There is a Slav part of my background.

Plucking just doesn't do the trick :)

[SPKrazy]

25. Slav Background!

=wax? LOL

my family (maternal) is German, but they lived in the Czech Republic for many moons. Probably Slavic as well.:rofl:

[eyesroll]

4. I'm Jewish. I don't own any Christmas stuff, but I do attend Christmas parties.

Wear what you want, so long as you're wearing something at the appropriate level of formality for the gathering. You will discover nobody will notice you're not wearing Christmas- or winter-specific kitsch.

[crim son]

11. You make a fine point.

Why do I always feel compelled to do the red and green thing? I won't, tonight.

[plcdude]

6. Do as you wish

it is your life.

[crim son]

13. True. But I want to be pleasing.

I think I'll have to find a way to please me first :)

[plcdude]

23. exactly

this is your time do what you want to do.

[SOteric]

12. Sure!

Just hang a tiny piece of mistletoe from the back of your waistband and invite anyone who'd like to know why you're not more festively attired to kiss your ass.

14. Is it okay to go to a Christmas party with absolutely nothing?

It's encouraged

:evilgrin:

15. I'd heard such parties existed, but I didn't quite believe it...

I'm partial to those earrings that light up. On others, though, not myself.

[Guava Jelly]

20. Go in your underwear

and take pictures :evilgrin:
:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

22. Two options:

Always a winner:



And the more conservative approach, but festivus anyways:



Though choices, I know!

24. I wore my mud cloth scarf, a t-shirt with a Romare Bearden

painting on it, black jeans, an embroidered jacket and motor-cycle- type boots to a work party. I didn't feel like doing the red/green/ Santa thing. I've already exhausted the red and black velvet stuff for the last month, so it's back to what I usually wear.

Or I drag all my festive ethnic or spangly vests out of the closet. That usually covers it. Wear what you want.

I guess you could just wear only diamonds. THat would make a statement! :rofl:
