Keep in mind, I'm not a skinny minnie like BEG and Schadie, and I don't own high heels.
Not next week, but the week after I'll be in High Point, NC for a ballet convention thingy with my daughter. On the Saturday night they are having what they call a "gala". I have absolutely no clue what to wear. The other moms aren't much help, they tell me what the girls have worn, but not the moms. The girls wear anything from church dresses to promstyle dresses. My daughter has a shiny silky shirt she's wearing with black dressy pants and black heels.
Me, I got nothin'. I never do "fancy" so my stuff, even my church clothes, lean toward casual comfy, rather than dressy. I don't want to look like a grandma, and I don't want to look like I'm trying to look 20, either. So, suggestions, ideas?? Comfort is # 1 priority for me.

I ain't no lady, but I have an opinion anyway. Use your daughter's wardrobe as a guide for how to dress. Dress up to that level, in your own fashion of course. And wear heels.
If you don't know how to walk in heels, practice. Remember to aim to put each foot almost in front of the other during your walk. You will learn "The Glide".

I can't wear heels on the best of days, and I'm in the midst of a medical procedure on my foot that makes it painful to walk at all some days, let alone in torture shoes!! And I'll be having the next "installment" done the day before we leave.
But thanks for the advice...maybe I'll look for a nice pair of black pants and a fancy top to go with it.

Flame, this time of year you can probably get away with a dressier flat sandal. Why not look for something like that to wear with the pants and top? Or even something like ballet flats--they are very simple, but comfy and while they won't be the center of attention, they won't be noticable either as comfy. And maybe try, with all the longer pants, to get a pant that cuts low over the shoe too so they aren't as visible. Just a few thoughts.Enjoy
-
You can never go wrong with dressy black pants, simple black flats and nice dressy top. I would stick with either a black top that's kind of dressy (maybe the same material as the pants?) or something with a little flair like metallic or sequins? If you're going to be shopping, ask the ladies at the store what they think would look good on you.
To me, a "gala" means a dress but slacks would probably work too. Can you look up pictures of past years? I'm assuming this gala is held every year. Google the organization that's responsible and see if they posted pictures from years past. You can see how everyone dressed.
-
forgot to add:
call the ballet organization and ask them for appropriate attire suggestions
-
...maybe I'll look for a nice pair of black pants and a fancy top to go with it.
That's what I would do. I'm no fashion expert, Lord knows, but a nice pair of black pants, a nice blouse accompanied with a pair of simple black flats should get you by. Since your going to be a bit handicapped by your foot, your comfort should be your first concern. Thom McCan (spelling?) are sold at Kmart and are what I usually by since they are a bit padded, are made of soft leather and are reasonably priced.
These days, me in heels reminds me of a pig on stilts. I've got a closet full of 'em, still love 'em, I just can't wear 'em. Bum knee. To twist my knee would put me in the hospital. I can't have that.
BTW: Your going to be in my neck of the woods!

I bet you look bitchin' in an evening gown.

How about tweeds?
If one is comfortable with what one wears, one looks good in what it is one wears.
That's why I never wear jeans, but always corduroy.

Anything BLACK. Something like this:

You know, Brown-Eyed One, I looked at every single one of your choices.
Remember, Flame says she's pulchtritudinally different from you and lurkalot and ACC and schadenfreude and Miss Mia and Amity and &c., &c., &c.
Your selections would of course look good on you and all the other fine women here, but Flame needs something different.
I think women look best in clothes they feel comfortable in.

I posted before I read the whole thread, you can't wear heels right now. How about a pair of wide legged black pants and a nice shirt. Something like this:
http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=501401048&view=20&No=60&N=1604010&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3Fview%3D20%26No%3D60%26N%3D1604010&R=02480331

I have a top just like this and I wore it with a pair of black pants (wide leg) with thin white pin stripes for my husband's company christmas party.:

EVERY woman can wear a black dress. She would look fabulous in a black dress, but I posted those pictures before I read about her foot problem.

Well, now, Flame is a woman--I assume, but given the recent revelations about Yosemite Sam, aka California Peggy, I'm not quite so comfortable thinking that any more--and Flame isn't trying to look good for other women.
Flame is trying to look good to we men.
I think Flame would be an eye-grabber for men, in tweed.
The Clare Booth Luce in Connecticut look.

Not shiny stuff, Flame.
You want pastel.
You want to draw attraction to yourself, not your clothes.

Did you just call her an a-hole?

actually, frank, I don't want to draw attention to myself OR my clothes...I just don't want to be an embarassment to my daughter!

Of course you don't want to be an attention whore, madam.
You're not a primitive, after all.
But seriously, in the past, what sorts of clothes were you wearing when you felt most comfortable in a FORMAL or semi-FORMAL situation? That should be what you choose.
Probably what you wear to church would be excellent.
-

But Brown Eyes, tweed is associated with Old Money, and Much Money, and Class.

Not if you wear a chunky necklace with it. I love Apt. 9, I shop at Kohls all the time.

How about: Calypso.
Calypso or Kalypsó/KÄlypsÅ (Greek: Καλυψώ, English translation: "I will conceal"), was a naiad and a daughter of Atlas who lived on the island of Ogygia in Greek mythology. Her name has also been listed among the list of the Nereids, which would make her a daughter of Nereus. The latter classification in accord with her islands' proximity and association with the sea, as opposed to inland water.
The fabled Greek hero Odysseus was imprisoned on her island, Ogygia, thought to be the modern day Gozo as punishment for Odysseus's blinding of Poseidon's son, Polyphemus. Athena asked Zeus to spare Odysseus of his torment on the island, as he wanted to go to his homeland. Zeus sent Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, to tell Calypso to release Odysseus. As Zeus was the Lord of the Gods, she was unable to refuse him, although she wished to. Odysseus eventually returned to his homeland of Ithaca, to be with his beloved wife Penelope who waited for him at home, even though Calypso had promised him immortality if he stayed.
According to Hesiod, Calypso bore Odysseus two children: Nausithous and Nausinous. The island of Gozo, part of the Maltese archipelago, has a long tradition that links it with the mythical figure of Calypso.

I like that one too, BEG. I'm generally a bit more tailored though, believe it or not. I love jackets and something very minimal :uhsure: under it.
I really like those last two choices.

I like that in the black or the white, but I don't know that it is what flame was looking for. Very pretty though, free. I may have to give you a high 5 for that one :naughty:

Camp song time! Usually sung in unison as loudly as possible! :uhsure:
Underwear! Underwear!
How I itch in my woolly underwear!
How I wished I'd gotten, a pair of cotton
So I wouldn't itch anywhere!
OOOOOhhhhh,
I have lost my underwear,
I don't care,
I'll go bare!
Bye, bye longjohns!
They were very good to me,
Tickled me,
Hehehe!
... ok that's all I remember.

OK, I'm back....was at my 12 yr old's baseball game (which they won, by the way, thanks to an overtime, 2 out hit that resulted in the winning run crossing the plate. My son made the hit! :-) :-))
Free, the shirt from VS you linkd to was nice, but not quite my style. BEG, I like those 2 blouses you linked to, but not sure if they are my style.
Remember, ya'll, I'm not skinny like BEG and Schade. The thing is, I'm most comfy in cotton, preferably a jean skirt with a dressy style t-shirt, but that's not dressy enough, so I'm branching out.
And BEG, just gotta laugh...all those links from Dillards and CWC...<snort> so out of my price range! KOHLS, Sears, CATO is more my speed cost wise!!
-
Please don't call me skinny while I toy with one of my fat rolls. :popcorn:

Hey Flame, I was just giving you ideas, not telling you to buy from Dillards. I shop at Kohls all the time. :-*

Ok flame, since you noted size again, I went to Lane Bryant who cater to a more full-figured woman. Here are some ideas I found that I think are appropriate and maybe you'd be comfy in.

There are a lot of nice blouses there besides those. They should fit comfortably and they look like they are easy to dress up or down depending what you wear with them. They aren't outrageously priced and I've heard their quality is very good.
Good luck, Flame.

Great choice, Flame! I bet you are glad to have that shopping behind you though. Now it's time to get ready to enjoy!

Excellent choice Flame. Which color did you get it in, the teal or the other color?
