ohh pooo!!!!

We have a big event at work tomarrow and i need a formal dress thing. problem being I need it to also go well for the holidays as i would also wear it to lars's work holiday party in NJ.

Soo what are safe colors that i should work with??

should i get somthing with or without sleeves? ( can't wear shawl for work thing)

floor or cocktail??

HELP MEEE lol!!

TOMORROW? and your just now getting a dress?

I woudl say cocktail lenght, and something deep green or deep red woudl be prettty.

yes my boss loved my orginal idea ( which was to wear the dress i had for my wedding reception because it is beautiful and doesn't look like a wedding dress and so he said it would work)

BUT his partner was checking everyones outfits and was like NO! so now i have to get one today. ( fortunately i have the day off to go shopping)

red sounds like a great idea!

you have to have your attire approved? okay. where do you work?

anyway glad you have the day to shop, hope you find something and a smashing deal at that.

for this we do. normally they could really care less as long as you look fitting for the store. But with this special event "we have to look as expencive as the jewelry" I work in a "high end" jewelry store.

ahhh I see. good luck shopping

I think I might be fairly offended if someone told me what to wear - but anyways........

Off you go shopping little lady!

I get why your boss asked to approve your outfit. When you work in retail or at high-end events, you are selling a product, an image, so it would be odd if an employee came in something not appropriate for that image. JMHO.

Anyhow, I think cocktail length is just fine. I wouldn't go strapless, but maybe something with a thicker strap. Or what about a long sleeve wrap dress? Is that too casual? Do you get to wear the jewelry at the party? Because dark colors like black, burgundy, chocolate and wine color would make them standout. You can always throw one of those cute swing jackets over top if you need to cover your shoulders. Just some ideas. I wouldn't go with anything sequency, because it would take away from the jewelry, but again, JMO.

Have fun!
