永遠少一件

誰會想到,這次說的是飲衫呢?
幼年時候參加的不計,已逾十年未有參加過喜宴。
所以,從來沒有認真考慮過這個問題。
直到最近,忽然想起才發現,於某次大減價時買的唯一一件可以和飲衫勉強扯得上關係的連身裙,也因為太過甜美且不再合身轉送他人了。

對赴宴著裝有什麽規矩不十分了解,與友展開熱烈討論。
找找下有些不耐煩了,隨手翻到一件豹紋連身裙,「不如我穿這個去吧?以後說不定就出名了。xxx,就是那個yyy結婚的時候穿豹紋來的人!」
友瞥了我一眼,「我看,你是想扮泰山吧!」
「那這個,花花綠綠的,多好,喜氣吖!」
「人家結婚,你穿得這麼花枝招展……想做什麽?搶鏡?」
……

忽然想起來自己衣櫃原來已經很多件連身裙。
且都是出自名手,剪裁立體,設計出眾。
「但是,他們都是黑的,你不如留到去喪禮穿啦。」

講究真多,不能穿得太素,不能穿得太豔,不能穿豹紋(雖然我現在仍未明白為何有人喜歡穿豹紋),不能穿虎皮,不能穿熊貓裝……
不能太長,亦不能太短。
但是無奈我喜歡的那幾個富有建築感的大師,偏偏最愛黑色。
色彩繽紛些,線條簡潔的,卻門檻太高……

原來那個「衣櫃永遠少一件」的傳說是真的。

其實穿甚麼去飲,有誰會care,是自己介意吧了,很多女生都穿黑的,我也穿過兩三次黑的. 加個红鞋手袋便可以啦!
再講,如果妳到到洋人婚禮,不難發現很多女生都穿得花枝招展,有時我還覺得自己太素啦!所以睇吓妳去中國人還是洋人婚禮啦!

本來我是不care的。大可以人字拖+牛記的!
但是他們威逼我要發言! T.T (淚滿面)
所以我才煩~
又沒有服裝津貼喎……sigh...

:D :D :D. got on stage? just wear prettily and hv a nice make-up. Black one-piece + little jewellery is not bad woh. Low profile. Speech matters.

(if i were invited to wedding banquet), the 1st thing is see if attending is a must. if yes, then wear what i wear at work suen lor..

yeah, i was thinking a simple cut 1-piece + a 3-strand pearl necklace. i'm crazy about pearls.

you see, the prob for me is that i wore casual clothes to work already. so i really haven't a clue what is "appropriate". XD

i think usually the young couple don't mind, but the parents would. and i'm seeing more and more ppl wearing black at weddings nowadays.. :)

anyway, have fun dress-shopping!

i might just go to ikea to get some curtains (or do they have curtains at all?)! XD

pearl is elegant. I note that elegance becomes increasingly appreciated by younger ladies. maybe nowadays girls grow more mature..good thing. Think of Sarah Liao. Recall seeing a photo of her in newspaper as she wore pearl and attended her son's wedding.

i love seeing girls/women in gorgeous clothes..such a feast to the eye..

the first time i saw a pair of pearl earrings on my friend's mum. they were so simple yet you see sheer elegance. i said to myself, "when i grow old, i wanna become her." XD

now you mention sarah liao, i remember M mentioning her as well. i guess it must have been the pearls that grabbed our attention.

g said...

Now that u mention the post. I grow confused @@. Did i actually see the photo myself, or just have my memory elicited/reconstructed by the post written by M? Hahaha ~~ never mind la..pearl is beautiful nonetheless.

talking abt charm..the actress in the film "Up in the air" is real charming. I wish i could become her when i grow old.... (so mo-liu!)

c.r said...

maybe i shall ask M about the picture. XD

i'm yet to see the film myself, i was gonna yesterday, but something else came up...maybe tmr then. george clooney....hmmm...
