Need Help with What to Wear!

Recommended Posts

DH and I received an invitation to an awards banquet by his company. The invitation says Dress Business. I am assuming that means suit and tie for him, but what does that mean I should wear?

I was thinking something in the line of "Trophy Wife" because no one at his work has seen me since being banded. I want to turn some heads and cause some whispers.

Suggestions Please!!!!!!!!!!!

(I look hot in my new Levi's, but don't think that is business dress)

I don't know...that seems a bit formal! Maybe a short black dress?

It means evening wear which could be anything from an evening pants suit to a slinky dress.

But not foofy taffeta numbers.

I'd go black and elegant personally.

Wear a great slim skirt which is ALMOST too tight, but isn't. A silk blouse buttoned down ALMOST too low, but not. High heels that are ALMOST to high, but not. Several dangley braclets, one necklace with a small pendant that sit's in just the right spot to draw the eye but not be an invitation, and a pair of too-big diamond stud earrings. (Zircon will work - who'll know the difference?)

The perfect 'dress-business' outfit to make them all go . . . look at that! Uh huh.

I like Donna's idea, but since it's hubby's work group, you better run it by him. I once knew a businessman who was told that the photo of his wife in a two piece swimsuit (semi-bikini, but not terribly revealing) was inappropriate for the photo cube on his desk and to substitute another pic for it.

HHHHHMMMMMMMM.... Lisa that sounds nice for the bedroom but not for the ballroom.

Donna that sounds perfect for a tall girl...this gal is only 5'4"...no skirts.

My legs are nicely tanned and my husband is a leg man, so something just above the knee perhaps. All black with or without clevage showing?

The black dress is just perfect. It is fresh and sassy, yet business appropriate. That dress will take you anywhere in the spectrum of dress that you will probably see.

I love the black one too. I'd go with that one Mary. You'll look amazing!

Wear a pearl necklace with it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
