as I now have a new family...

ivystar57 · November 2009

... I also get to go to new events.Specifically a Republican dinner. I have no idea what to wear to this thing.Also, I'm in shock that I agreed to go to a Republican event.

I think this would be appropriate - [IMG]http://tinyurl.com/ykvkgza[/IMG]

Marina007 · November 2009

Hahaha. You wear pearls, dahhhling.

crfische · November 2009

Crocs. Definitely crocs. That'll impress 'em.

berryholly · November 2009

Oh lordy. I don't know if I could do it. I would have a hard time keeping my mouth shut.I also have no idea what you should wear.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · November 2009

Better you than me!Uh, elephant pin?

berryholly · November 2009

I was going to suggest an entire elephant costume missmery.

ring_pop · November 2009

I'm having fun envisioning kdc's outfit with pearls AND crocs.

andyandhillary · November 2009

I'm not even kidding when I say this. Depending on how fancy it is wear conservative clothing and anything with pearls. Every Republican loves pearls. Or black and white ensembles. What are you going to?

bbyckes · November 2009

I think it would be fun. Just remember to pinch yourself hard if you think about doing anything else other than politely smiling.Definitely a string of pearls.

britne28 · November 2009

ummm, a sweater set? With a skirt? And a hip flask.

I'd have to drink to get through one of those.

mandapanda78 · November 2009

I get the pleasure of going to a Republican event every Christmas- it's called DH's company holiday dinner. I keep very very quiet.

kikibaby · November 2009

I really don't think I could go. I just... I couldn't. Where are Sarah and TJ?

temerityjane · November 2009

Right here.I totally wouldn't know what to wear, either.

ivystar57 · November 2009

Well great I don't have any pearls. I guess I have a pearl bracelet and studs... enough?Apparently it's suposed to be "business" clothes. So says MIL. I was thinking about white pants, black heels and a black wrap sweater with a collared shirt.I actually have no idea what the purpose of the dinner is. A bunch of republicans gearing up for campaign season?

andyandhillary · November 2009

Actually Britne is right. Repubs love the sweater set. Think of anything stereotypical and that probably fits.

SwedishChick2011 · November 2009

Well, you could always just dress like you would to a Democrat event...considering they all dress about the same and all.

pinkpinot · November 2009

^ THIS. Call me crazy and Independent but I never noticed a Republican style.

ivystar57 · November 2009

butbutbut I don't HAVE a sweater set.Do you see how this is working out.I'M TOO DAMNED FASHIONABLE TO BE A REPUBLICAN.

tenofcups4me · November 2009

Why are you going? My inlaws are Republicans and I have a great relationship, but I wouldn't attend a Republican (or church) event for anything. Although to the more practical issue, wear what you'd wear to anything else at that time and place. Hard as it to remember, Republicans really are just people too...and they dress like anyone else.

temerityjane · November 2009

tenofcups4me, indeed.Republicans are people, too!

Brie2010 · November 2009

I've been to some Republican-type events with FI and/or his family members. There appears to be a lot of Brooks Brothers and J. Press on the men. I usually just wear a plain old LBD if it's a cocktail thing and a suit with a button down under it if it's a businessy thing. I just don't show too much cleavage and it's been fine.

ivystar57 · November 2009

Obviously they are people

I married one (sort of). Except he looks like a hippie. I'm going to the event because his family is in politics and I'm supporting them during campaign season. Thankfully our republicans are not nearly as conservative as some out there....

missy68 · November 2009

Fairly certain that as long as you didn't wear a dominatrix outfit or your outfit from a day in the stands at a NASCAR event/mudbogging/dirt bike race, you'd fit right in whatever you wear.

mandapanda78 · November 2009

psssht, TJ next think you'll be telling us that Republicans put their pants on one leg at a time, too. You and your secret Republican pants. I'm on to you!!

vallyhoo · November 2009

A flavor flav clock, that's what you should wear, duh!

temerityjane · November 2009

mandapanda - WHO TOLD YOU?Outsiders aren't supposed to know about... the pants.

andyandhillary · November 2009

It's true that everyone wears the same outifts. But i definitely think that Dems (at least here that I know) get more fun and funky. I would I could be fun and funky at work. Boo me.

AlexiaANDRobert · November 2009

Well, you could always just dress like you would to a Democrat event...considering they all dress about the same and all.This.

AlexiaANDRobert · November 2009

Every Republican loves pearls.Um no. Just no.

tenofcups4me · November 2009

I guess I just find it kind of mind-boggling that you can support something you obviously don't believe in. I get family ties and I'm all about family support. But to me it would be the height of hypocrisy to publicly support values and goals that were in direct conflict to my own. I wouldn't do it.
