This won’t hurt a bit

See, I was serious this time. I really will post.

The exciting news du jour is that this weekend is the company party for my employer. Health care has this thing called “Flu season” during which we try to avoid congregating in large crowds in warm rooms. The company party is therefore planning for the time when people stop contracting the strain of flu that leaves you dehydrated and covered in your own vomit. No really, it was that bad.

The dress code is semi-formal to formal, and I have it on good authority that there will be ball gowns and tuxedos on some of the attendees. I myself was going to wear the black dress that I wore to Carrie Un-Patched’s wedding and to Bruce’s holiday party, but then I was doing laundry and found a gold dress I had forgotten that I bought over the winter.

And that brings me to the crux of this post, who forgets that they have a gold dress? No really, how is it that I was going on with my business and never knowing that I have a perfect kicky gold dress that is entirely appropriate for a semi-formal celebration. Now the only problem I have is deciding which dress to wear.

If I wear the black dress it will be with fishnets and peeptoe/slingbacks. If I wear the gold it will be with black tights and black pointy toes. The fishnets are fun and young and the black tights are slimming.

OMG! I’ve just come up with the best idea, COSTUME CHANGE! Sometimes I totally amaze myself. How amazing would it be if I show up in one dress and leave in another. It will be just like college all over again. Those were the days.
