Fashion Crisis!!! As some of you know I volunteered to be a Pride Group Marshal.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

For NYC GLBT pride parade. I have to wear a gold T-shirt!!!

Holy Hell! I dont wear t-shirts. Especially not in public.

I dont even know what to wear with a gold t-shirt.

Black shorts?

[MonkeyFunk]

1. a black leather miniskirt

and 5" heels. It's pride! Dress up, dammit!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i was instructed to wear sensible shoes.

sigh

[MonkeyFunk]

4. ok, but you'll be shamed

by 5,000 drag queens in even bigger heels.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. i know. probably be in less ugly clothing too. T-shirt? REALLY?

thats the best we can do?

[Maddy McCall]

24. Purple hammer pants.

No outfit is complete without purple hammer pants.

:D

[Arkham House]

3. Wear gold slacks with it...

...and go as Ray--a Drop of Golden Sun...

[skygazer]

6. Wear it on your head like a turban

When in doubt, bend the rules. :P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. sadly i was instructed i couldnt 'alter' it

[Phillycat]

8. How about a nice beige/cream/ecru skirt, knee length?

That might look cute, with flats and your pretty skin tone.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. a knee length skirt with a regular t-shirt will look all weird on me

one must consider how awful my boobs look in t-shirts. but maybe beige pants/shorts will be ok

[NewJeffCT]

16. I can't imagine that

your boobs looking awful?

[RainDog]

10. agree with others here - black is good with gold

wear big, big gold earrings. jeans or leather pants or a skirt or even a printed sarong if you can find one to match, maybe?

[dropkickpa]

11. Do they supply the shirt?

If not, a v-neck could be more flattering (with the added bonus of allowing yer cleavage to breathe).

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. they do. i think i will have no cut a V in it.. just to breathe

got i hate t shirts

[Gormy Cuss]

13. Get a larger size if you can.

You do need a V-neck, but if you aren't allowed to alter it, wearing it like a dress would beat wearing one that fits, in terms of how your chest will look. You could then try to accessorize with a belt to give you a more flattering drape. Under it wear skinny long shorts or a flattering slim skirt.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. i wont get it till the day of, but i will carry a cute belt .. thanks much for the advice

sigh!

ohh gay boys.. why did you do this to me???

[Tektonik]

19. they didn't want you to be cuter than them

:P

[Tektonik]

20. delete, wrong place

delete

[Flaxbee]

15. white looks better with gold, especially in the summer...

black can be a VERY hot color to wear - unless you've got on some cute black shorts. Cream or ecru can look funky with gold, if the color tones aren't complimentary.

[AlCzervik]

17. Jeans or balck pants?

that's what i'd wear.

[stuntcat]

18. whatever you wear..

we'll be expecting pictures :headbang:

Last week my neighbor went to the Pride stuff here at Dupont Circle, I wished I'd gone but I just met her so I was afraid to tag along but maybe next year. I went to NY's once.. I don't even remember what I wore, I know I was thinner then x(

Maybe they'll let you tie the t-shirt up somehow.

[Tektonik]

21. Wear as much gold jewelry you can and black pants

Can you wear any jackets, hats or scarves?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. its going to be a hundred degrees. cant wear pants. will die

[Tektonik]

23. You don't want to be a good looking corpse?

:P

[Orrex]

25. Well, there's your answer--don't wear pants

Just make sure that the t-shirt is of sufficient length to preserve your modesty.

[mikita]

27. that was funny n/t

[Orrex]

30. Blame the law of averages

Every so often, one of my posts will trip over a good punchline.

:evilgrin:

[FloridaJudy]

26. An ankle-length cotton skirt

That's about all my sister and I wear during the summer (except for tops - duh - loungers get your minds out of the gutter!). They're cool on hot days, allow you to move freely, and suitable for any occasion. I favor the "broomstick" (crinkle cotton gauze) ones.

I've found some great ones in thrift shops, but if you're in a hurry most "ethnic" clothing boutiques carry them.

ETA: link. This will give you some idea of the variety available. Some even come with sequins, to make the drag queens envious. http://search.ebay.com/long-cotton-skirt_W0QQfromZR40QQfrtsZ100

28. Wear this. It will confuse everyone.

[xchrom]

29. ok -- darling -- if you can't wear heels -- can you wear

wedgies?

and do you have a pic of the t-shirt?

like i would be alarmed at this uniform - very limiting.

if i were you -- i'd be looking for some short and flippy skirt -- maybe pleated so it would lay flat all aound.

i probably WOULDN'T do black -- so predictable -- there are a ton of colours to with gold -- i do like the idea of white - that's pretty fresh.

i hate the idea of flats -- i'm just over them.

cut a v into the t-shirt a summery short flippy white skirt -- and summery wedgies could rock.

maybe wear your hair up -- but sort of wispy -- very cute.

[ldf]

32. Finally!

a recommendation worthy of a pride parade...

:thumbsup:

[xchrom]

33. i love pride and i love parades

put them together and it's heaven.

[lildreamer316]

34. I agree with the wedgies..how about white pipe-leg jeans?

in the 'new' style..and some sexy white or white and gold wedgies.
Gold bangles and hoops?
Or am I REALLY off base?
*cringes in anticipation of dressing-down*

[xchrom]

35. oh yeah -- white pipe-leg jeans

would be cute.

love the bangles -- you could do a wrist full of them to go with hoops -- that would be cute.


and i think it's a nice carry through on the white and gold thing.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. no jeans/pants. after june till october, i do not wear pants

i think white shorts or short skirt. i might make an exception for linen pants.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

38. thank you. what would i ever do with out you?

:loveya:

[RiffRandell]

31. I would wear black shorts or a comfortable black mini.

Have fun----and nice pic of you and Lisa at the wedding!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. thanks patty!!!

[CreekDog]

36. i kind of think those parades are fashion crisises anyway

so you have a lot of latitude. enjoy yourself. :hi:

[tainted_chimp]

40. Continue the color...

into a matching gold skirt (of whatever length you're comfortable in....)

and then, even though it's gonna be hot, wear boots. (they can be the most comfortable of all...don't even need a heel.....boots are HOT)

and whatever the boot color is, MATCH it with a neck scarf.

preferably sequined.




the end!

Oh...and if you're daring...a matching gold wig, gold eyeshadow, black eyelashes....and bangles on your wrists.

Have a blast!!


and drink TONS of water during it'all...

[tainted_chimp]

41. keeping in the same color silhouette..

is the most flattering to your figure, and the observing eye
