the Columbia outlet store is having a 60% off sale. Guess I'll check them out on Sunday.

My nephew is getting married at the end of the month in a dressy evening affair. I have 3 choices from my current wardrobe of what to wear. For each of them, I'd need to buy something: shoes, a skirt, a blouse. I'm having trouble making the selection. What do you think? (Pay no attention to the dog bone on the floor.) The first would require a new skirt and probably shoes. It has Asian styling with tiny buttons up the front. The second would require a blouse. It is satin with rhinestone buttons. The third would require shoes.

I like the first outfit needing a new shirt and maybe shoes. The other fave is the third outfit needing new shoes.

I like 3 also. Looks more festive. 1 would be second choice. 2 looks more business-like to me.

Blues are big and current right now so #3 easily works. Asian influence in fashion is growing and will be bigger due to Crazy Rich Asians film's popularity. #1 could really rock if you pair it with bottoms or a solid color dress in yellow, blue, or even an orange or coral that matches.

I really like #3 also. I like the first one, but sleeves are too long. I would take to a tailor to have them adjusted.

I love #3 also! My nephew's wedding is coming up and the dress I ordered online fits and I love it except the neckline plunges a little low; I am going to try to fix it myself.

I vote #3. Will you be going to a reception afterward, and is the skirt of it comfortable enough to allow you to dance in it if you want?

The dress is a sort of jersey, so dancing would be no problem. Just have to find shoes that will look hawt and let me move!

Either #1 or #3. Both are very flattering on your figure - you look great! #1 looks like it goes well with your coloring (from the little bit of hair we can see, I'm making an assumption, but only you know your eye color so YMMV.)
#3 is a safe choice and will blend in at a wedding. #1 is more fun and more of a statement piece. Both look good.

I like #3. The color looks great on you and it flatters your body.
#1 needs tailored if you're going to wear it the sleeves are too long. You're going to need a more fitted bottom too because you're example makes everything look boxy. I'd also try to match to the colors in the top no black. Despite what people claim black is not a neutral and it cuts you in half when paired with a bright colored top.

I'm also at #1 or #3. I think it just depends on the setting of the wedding.

It's just been a bigger adjustment than I thought it would be to go from wearing whatever I wanted for the most part to a uniform. Trying to make the most out of afternoons and weekends. Waiting for the weather to change so I can rotate more.

Crap that sucks, and is the uniform specific or can you get yourself nicer scrub tops and stuff down the road ?

Crap that sucks, and is the uniform specific or can you get yourself nicer tops and stuff down the road ? Specific it has to be branded. The color I'm assigned only comes in one version. I can pick any scrub pants I want as long as they are teal but so far I've only found one store with one type that fits due to being so petite.

I like #1 and would probably wear it with Pollack pants if I had your figure. #3 is pretty too
Stupid Fire auto correct. It is p.a.l.a.z.z.o. Pants. How that became Pollack I have no clue. If anyone knows how to tame the autocorrect on a fire please let me know

That was a terrible movie. I don't get the brouhaha. It's just an expensive chick flick. It's billed as a comedy, but it wasn't funny. There was only one good line in it. Granny to children......"Eat your chicken. There are kids in America who are starving!"

HOW TO LOOK EXPENSIVE & BOUJEE WHEN YOU'RE BROKE AND SAVING
What is "boujee"? Is it some kind of massacred French word?
