Outfit Planning

My company has two major social gatherings each year: (1) the Summer Event - which I did not attend this past summer - that is usually family oriented at a ranch/park with fun activities and games and (2) the Winter Event - which is this Saturday! - that is a nice cocktail hour and sit-down dinner for you and your significant other.

This year's Winter Event is black tie optional and will be at The Willard in downtown DC.  I got the scoop from a few ladies, and they said most men wear suits, with the exception of a few who actually own tuxes and want to get more wears out of them.  I also confirmed that with the exception of a few of the older partners' wives, no one wears long dresses.  Phew.  

I did a little Black Friday shopping online last week and purchased two dresses as potential outfits for the Winter Event.  They arrive in the mail today, so fingers crossed that both fit well and I just get to choose between:

Option Numero Uno

Option Numero Dos

Both are from Banana Republic and I scored them for 35% off, making them $91 each.  What a steal!  I'm leaning towards the top one - the navy Jacquard shift dress.  But, part of me wants to live a little and go for the red print.  Thoughts?!  


And now that I posted on the blog, my guess is that neither will fit and I'll be scrambling to find a dress tomorrow after work...  I'll keep you posted!
