Ok so I have dinner tomorrow night for my husbands work. I asked a few days ago if he felt it would be ok if I wore a nice pair of black dress pants and a dressy shirt and heals. He said yes well i decided I should look at the invitation and see if there is a dress code and it says black tie optional. Now im all worried that wearing pants wont be dressy enough.
I am soooo insanely pale right now since it is the dead of winter and I am beginning to show so when I tried on some dresses i just look fat in the belly so I really would feel much better if I could wear pants but now I dont know.
Im not comfortable in dresses anytime of year lol especially winter. My bigger issue is that my baby bump just looks like a beer belly right now . I hate the in between stage. I tried on a few of my dresses and I just dont like the way they look . The pants covered my tummy much better but I understand I represent my husband at these kind of events so I dont want to look like an idiot either. You guys are putting my mind at ease I think ill do my black pants , my red halter shirt with my pearls and my black open toe shoes. Thanks again .
I rarely see it. And I go to a lot of semi formal and formal business functions. When I have seen it, the pants and the top are VERY formal not just everyday business dress pants, and the top has some shimmer and sparkle. I really have only seen it in women around 50+ years old.
I would go with a black coctail dress as black is very slimming and a nice wrap you can use to conseal your mid section even more. I also found spanx working wonders at this stage in pregnancy when I had to go to formal functions. Pants, IMO would draw more attention to the baby bump anyway and once you’re showing, or worse, in that in between stage where you just feel kinda blergy and uncomfrotable where all clothes feel awkward and ill fitted anyway. (I remember looking forward to popping so I could atleast look good in maternity clothes, LOL. ) Also, wearing pants even if they are more comfortable, you may actually find you’re more uncomfortable when you arrive all the other women are wearing cocktail dresses.
