my hubby's Christmas party is Thursday night and it will be held at a Country Club. I really don't have anything to wear! Last year the two outfits I bought were when I was really thin like 125 pounds and when I tried them on this year they are too snug now that I am a healthy 140lbs! I want to buy something new but don't want to spend alot either. I have at home black dress pants, grey, black skirt, and a few shirts but nothing that is really nice. What do you guys think? I wore black pants last year with a dressy shirt but can't wear the same shirt two years in a row. I hate all this fluctuating with my weight. It really stinks!

Buy a really nice sweater or shirt to wear with one of the skirts or pants you already have, something that's not ultra-fitted so that you can still wear if you lose or gain another 10 lbs or so. I've found that even when company holiday parties are held in really nice venues, most women tend to wear dress slacks/skirt with a nicer blouse.
We always have 2-3 who go all out (i.e. sequins or excessive fake fur) and they tend to just look weird! Usually they are someone's aging trophy wife.

I need a nice fitted dusted silk blouse, one in dark grey and one in black
Some black hip hugger trousers that make my butt small and legs long,
and, um... a TIARA!
~nelly~ OK maybe not a tiara...!

Yeah... if I remember last year that was kind of the case. I guess I just get nervous because my hubby is a young and broke  dentist and the people in the area we will be with are well established and some can be quite uppity. We are just not those kind of people. But he has to go to this to promote his business in the community. Actually last year I bought a really cute shirt from Target and one of the ladies who is quite wealthy kept commenting on my shirt and how lovely it was! I secretly smiled to myself thinking she would never probably be caught in a Target!!

Hmmm...maybe a new jacket to go with the dress pants? That's always chic.

Something dressy but classy that doesn't just sit in the wardrobe till next Christmas! I am a huge fan of the "black (skinny) pants and a new top each season approach to dressing up!

Thanks Bev! I like the idea of sparkles and I was kind of thinking along those lines. I don't really have any time this week to go out and shop though. Maybe tomorrow night. I have a collegue who is the same size as me and is going to look in her wardrobe tonight and bring in some things tomorrow!
