Need Help with What to Wear!

[maryb 1]

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.

Remote Control Panties and Non-Piercing Nipple Rings.

Uht oh, was that DeLarla I heard?

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?

OOOOHHHHHHHHH I like this one very much! A great price also! Respectible, yet flattering!

[PhotoNut 7]

Which, the first or second?

I think the second one I like in red. Now red.. red turns heads *grins*

[maryb 1]

I like the cut and style of the black one.

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.
