I rarely ever post but I need help from you etiquette experts and it''s brought me out of lurkdom. Ok, I''m attending a wedding in a couple of weeks--important I make the right impression, these are my boyfriend''s oldest friends and I''m meeting them for the first time, plus his entire family. Let''s just say I''m worried about making the right impression. I''m also in a bit of a budget crunch.
Here''s my question: I currently own a pair of what I would call "winter white" slacks from BeBe (they''re a sateen, slight sheen, good drape) and I''m wondering if I can wear them to the wedding with a flowery, pretty summer top and a throw sweater for the evening (wedding is in Whistler, BC). I know the standard is no white on women at a wedding, but if it''s pants is that ok? My boyfriend doesn''t seem to understand why I''m so concerned about this, but it''s not like he''s meeting all these people for the first time. He also doesn''t know how much time I spend on PS reading about etiquette!
So, keep the pants? Ditch the pants and scrounge a skirt out of the back of the closet? Rob a bank and buy a pretty summer wedding appropriate dress and tell myself I''ll use it a bunch?
Help! And thank you!
