Bachelorette Party Issue

btrflykate1230

I have to go to a bachelorette party tonight. We're going to a male strip show (ew) and there will be lots of drinking, blah blah.

I got an email from one of the BMs and she told all of us what to wear. Jeans (totally fine) and a black top.

I KNOW this is going to sound really weird, but I don't actually own a black top that I can wear out for a night at the bar. I had stuff that I could wear when I was younger, but I don't fit into it anymore.

I had originally planned on wearing a pink shirt.

Ugh. What would you do?

I would probably go to Target or Kohls and just find a cute cheap black top.

Or if the real issue is that I don't really want to go in the first place, I'd probably come up with an excuse and back out.

I would just wear what I had (or the closest thing to what they asked) Im a laid back bride but I could never imagine getting mad at a friend because they didnt fit into my color code at my bachorlette party. It's just supposed to be a fun night

Can you go shopping today?  This sounds like a great excuse to pick up a cute black top.  Doesn't have to be more than $20.

I don't really want to go out and buy something, if I can avoid it. I guess it seems like it's something I'd have to do though.

I know the bride really well and I know she wouldn't be pissed, but I just don't know this BM very well and don't want to get the side eye... which I would if I didn't wear black. Ugh. Guess shopping it is then!

Can you ask to borrow one?

If you're going to a male review I would definately wear black to fit the party otherwise you might look like you're just there by yourself!

I'd wear the pink shirt. I certainly wouldn't buy anything new to appease such a bizarre request. I don't know where people have gotten the idea that it's ok to tell people what to wear to a party.

I would be annoyed at having to buy something last minute, even if it's only $15. I'd wear the pink top. This is probably something the MOH is planning and the bride won't care.

Um...why is she telling you what to wear? Call your friend and tell her you have no black tops and you're not buying one just for tonight.

I have an issue going to anything where i'm specifically told what to wear. Thats just me though. And i would never do that anyone.

Do you have a plain black tank or tee?  Even if it's not a fun going out shirt, I'd wear something basic & try to dress it up with fun jewelry.  It's a silly request, but honestly I would feel out of place in the pink shirt.

I'm really opposed to the idea of people dictating what I wear to a bach party down to the color, so I would not go out and buy something.  I would wear whatever I already had that was closest to what they asked for and not worry about it.  If anybody complained I would just say "sorry, I don't have an appropriate black top."

I would use it as an excuse to buy a cute new top.. but I love shopping. You could wear the top you planned on, no biggie. My only concern would be maybe the BM's made the bride a special BRIDE top in pink to stand out from all the black, and you wearing pink would RUIN THE WHOLE NIGHT hehe j/k.

The "it's the princple of the thing" in me says just wear whatever, but I would probably just go get a cheap black top.

Did she say if there was a reason everyone was supposed to wear black? In her defense I could see someone going "What color does everyone have in their wardrobe, I know! Black top and jeans"
