The office Christmas party is tonight. I have a dress. But it's the bridesmaid dress I wore for my brother's wedding on the beach in Cuba last June. It is a lovely dark blue, gorgeous material and the style is very flattering on me- a little toooo flattering. Which was perfectly fine while standing on the beach in flip flops with the sun shining gloriously down. But it's so low cut that the idea of wearing it to a party with my co-workers suddenly seems like a not-so-great idea.
Working in a reasonably conservative office environment, I try to stick to dressing on the safe side for our Christmas parties. I think some lovely decolletage is a great accessory to a fancy outfit, but around my colleagues I feel a little self concious. What to do??
I could wear the same dress as last year (gasp! Faux pas alert!), a gorgeous black silk boat-neck number that is charmingly Audrey-esque. Would anyone notice? Maybe. Do I care? Not sure. Switching things up by adding my pretty silver knit shrug, different shoes, stockings and accesories may do the trick.
Or I could be that girl who wore "that dress" at this year's office party...hee hee hee!
