Is this too skanky for company Christmas dinner?

[lainey]

Dress above...but in BLACK INSTEAD!!

My friend is taking me as his guest, the event is semi-formal..they are spending $14 000 on the dinner (it's like a wedding!).

Now is this too skanky? lol

 

[katrosier]

Hmm it depends on their dress code. Honestly I wouldnt wear it. I'd probably either show arms or legs so either long dress or long sleeves.

If the event is semi formal it might be okay... definitely the red is a no-no but in black, yeah it might not be so bad... you might wanna put a shrug or little sweater over your arms though so you aren't showing toooo much skin... and do like classy jewelry (nothing too extreme) to keep it appropriate.... but otherwise definitely a cute dress!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Not my style either. It is kinda skanky.

I'd wear something less, what's the word, "choppy".

And go more classic.

Arden B. has great styles:

I wouldnt call it skanky but it might not be very appropriate for a company party.

Unfortunately it's the only black dress I have! I don't want to spend money...!

hmmm, I'll sift through my closet and post pics of what I have and you guys can chose

I think in black it might work!!

 

[LVA]

i think it'd be cute w/a shrug .. or something that covers your shoulders ..

 

[pinkbundles]

i think it would be ok (since it's black). a nice shawl to go over it would make it more appropriate for a company xmas party.

 

[FeverDream]

I think it's too deconstructed for a formal-ish dinner. I would go with something like this:

Ann Taylor LOFT : Strapless Lace Trim Pleated Dress

or this

Ann Taylor LOFT : Lace Overlay Dress

 

[SimplyElegant]

I don't think it's that appropriate for a work party.

 

[mandy_]

I don't think I would wear it to a work party either.

 

[Aquilah]

It's not something I would wear myself, but to each his own. Depends on the dress code.

 

[Little_Lisa]

I like it and think it would be fine in black. I like the other suggestions of wearing it with a shawl or something over your shoulders.

 

[empericalbeauty]

Hm..not exactly..Paired with a cute tiny black jacket or shawl, you can dress it down...

 

[Marisol]

If you wear a shawl then it should be ok. Ask your friend what type of company he works for.

 

[lainey]

it's a software development company O_O

I've figured out a simple black skirt and black glittery long sleeved shirt -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[speerrituall1]

I agree with many, a shrug or shawl would complete the outfit.

 

[pla4u]

Very pretty dress!!! Maybe a bit to much for a Christmas dinner.

What are some of the others planning to wear?

 

[4getmeNot]

I would go for something a little more reserved/classical, but if you don't have the money to spend, it's ok, just wear some kind of jacket/shrug. You just to be comfortable, and not be worrying if your boobs are hanging out or you don't fit in! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
