I hate being told what to wear!
Permalink Closed

Pleh!  I was invited to tag along to someones bachelorette party tonight, which is cool.  But I've been told that all the girls are supposed to wear all black, so the bride can wear white and stand out .  Gee, I looooove being told what I'm allowed to wear, especially when it's head to toe black (which I don't do, ever), especially in AUGUST.  I love humoring someone who is being the bride I tried so hard never to be myself!


As soon as someone tells me I have to wear 'X', the idea of wearing it repulses me.  I cannot make a suitable all-black outfit to save my soul.  I'm gonna look all uptight-businessy with just a pinch of 'gee your pants look tight', which we know is exactly what we all strive for when we're going out on the town with a bunch of other people we're meeting for the first time who will all inevitably be very tall and very thin and look amazing in their fabulous black outfits.



I'm going to be 'rebellious' and carry my *gasp* brown Lombak, because that bag stays home for no woman.  Can you tell I'm really excited?  Maybe we'll even get to squeal and jump up and down and drink wine spritzers, but only if I'm really lucky ....

Can you say you just realized your only black ______ is in the dirty laundry? Or your only black clothes are winter clothes? Or you were getting ready and spilled____on yourself and had to change real quick? I would just lie.

Hmmm...sounds bizarro.  Can't the bride find some other way to stand out?  All that black is too strange for August.


Make sure she drinks out of a penis straw.

I agree with wicked... but man, that whole affair sounds incredibly not fun at all! Do you have to go?

She was nice to invite me - she knows I never really got a bachelorette party which is why she's invited me to hers.  It was kind of a, Here's what were doing, do you want to come?  Yes?  Oh by the way, you're supposed to wear all black .  So I was already in.


I'm going to try to have (and maintain) a sense of humor about this.  There was talk of puff painting shirts to wear out tonight.  Not. Happening. Over. My. Black. Bedecked. Body.  She's got a bunch of other women coming that I've never met, so I had originally thought it would be a good way to get to know more people and maybe make some friends.  Can I be friends with people who use Puff Paint?  That I don't know. 


It's supposed to be a dinner, drinks, going out type thing.  I have a couple black cotton dresses, do you think one of those would work?  One is strapless and a-line, the other is spaghetti straps/v-neck/straight-ish, and if I wore one of those the outfit-assembling would be pretty minimal.

Oh, and generally speaking, where might one find a penis straw?

I think a black cotton dress would be perfect for the occassion.


I actually went to a bachelorette party where we did the all black thing too - it made it tough.  I think I wore black pants with pinstripes, a black tank, and a gold belt.  I wore it with gold shoes. 


Have fun and definitely drink out of penis straws (you can get them at Spencers if you have one around you).

The answer is no.  You can't be friends with people who use Puff Paint and think it's an appropriate way to decorate one's self.  Not okay.

That's a bit nuts - but bachelorette parties are almost always over-the-top cheesy...and the all-black is WAY better than puffy paint t-shirts (what are we 12 years old)?  I'm surprised it's not a slumber party bachelorette party!

If she wanted to stand out she could wear a tiara with a little train.

I feel your pain.

I went to a bridal shower with a Hawaiian theme last week. I hunted all over for something, and EVERYTHING I saw was ugly. I settled on a shirt like this (but not quite as nice):



Lucky for me, my mom needed to pick up something from the mall the day of the party and I found this in H&M:



I got this pendant at a bead shop:




The bride did wear a little tiara with little tropical flowers on it.
I can not even imagine wearing black in this weather.

Hahaha! Good luck with the puff painters, and if you still need that penis straw, try Priscillas (most larger towns have one). Or um, check your phone book for "adult" bookstores.
