Tired of carrying my evening outfit in a bag under my desk!

[OneSassyBlueReader]

I’ve just looked at my wardrobe and realised and realised I only really wear each dress for one type of event. One for a wedding, one for a 'smart' lunch, one for a black-tie event.

I can’t wear the wedding one to work (sleeves are too 'extra'), and I can't wear the work ones to a party (too boring). Does anyone else have a wardrobe full of 'one-hit wonders'? What is the one thing you'd change about your 'best' dress to actually make it wearable for your normal life?

For me, it’s always the length or the sleeves—it's either too short for a meeting, too long for a night out, or sleeves are to covered for a cocktail dress or not enough.

This very good boy agrees and would like to point out that cats have no sense of style.

Outfits to take you from day to night/from the office to the nightclub etc were much discussed in the 90s and 00s, but (imo) rarely actually required. I don't remember ever doing this tbh!

Grey never goes out of fashion.

No it doesn’t! Wow! Gorgeous!

Sybil passes on her thanks 😺

He’s very charming, but cats don’t need a sense of style. It’s instinctive & effortless.

I’ve never gone straight from work to a wedding.

Amazing name for an amazing feline. So, so ‘paw’jus!

Since you missed your birthday, @Arlanymor, & were so complimentary to Kitty, I sounded the klaxon in the Litter Tray board. You can never have too many cats in a thread.

Came to say the same! Staying for the pussy....

You are THE best! Thank you! I am heading there right now! Aww, thanks so much! Xxx

Loving all the cats so much… here’s my teapot and my mum’s cat being unsure about his new neighbour…

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

I also very much appreciate your cat names. If you had a third it would be either Manual or Polly, right?! (Are they Maine Coons? So stunning).

A tuxedo is always appropriate. See my very smart boy modelling his.

FWIW, I own one dress which occasionally comes out when I have a reason to go to synagogue.

Actually his other two are Lenny and Karl!

@Arlanymor
Basil and Sybil are Battersea rescue moggies, their 15th birthday was a couple of days ago (3rd March).
If I had any more cats I expect they'd be called Karl and Lenny 🤣

Frankie says you can never go wrong with a sleek black outfit.

This thread is too funny 😂

Wish I could post pictures of mine but she's hidden her best fur inside the teepee (which might be equivalent to a work desk?).

I wonder if the OP will be back?

It doesn't matter what you wear, it's how you carry yourself, elegance can take you far

I think it’s because this generation don’t get the advice from magazines about how to go from day to night

I dont understand this at all. Why are you going to weddings straight after work and why wouldn't you want to get changed?

I dont wear black tie attire to work either. I wouldn't expect to.

Maybe I'm missing something

You might never find out. The OP hasn’t been back since the cats got involved.
