Another clothing thing

What are the cool kids wearing to bars these days? My cousin got married in Montreal. They are having an at home reception from 630-930 on a Saturday night in a reserved room in a bar. This is not any sort of sit down affair but more party. Is this dark jeans, nice top, fancy shoe territory?

And I really need to get back to this wedding- she's from Hong Kong, they live in Chicago. The wedding was in Montreal- dim sum affair (apparently the staff ended up putting cases of beer on the carts too), full RD, rooftop wedding. I'm rarely sad to miss a wedding, but this would have been spectacular. They are doing a hm in Italy, then going to Hong Kong for a reception and having a reception here. I'm jealous.

Wow, they're having quite the celebration. That's awesome.

I would think that your outfit idea is a good one. Does the bar have a website so you can get an idea of the atmosphere?

I'd say yes, depending on the bar. If it's out in BFE, you may be overdressed.

Their wedding/honeymoon travel sounds awesome.

It's a normal sort of bar in downtown. I just noticed we were supposed to RSVP 5 days ago. Blergh.

Whoops! I think your outfit would be fine.

So where do I look for something like this? I'm also wondering if I should be in a dress. I don't even know where to go!

Yes, that should be fine. Does this have story potential? You know I'm getting desperate over her.

PirateBarbie · August 2013

you need some ATTIRE:HOT, stat!

6fsn · August 2013

There is always story potential when you combine my cousins and alcohol.

Where do you find attire HOT! Especially cheap since I'll probably never wear it again.

NOLABridesmaid · August 2013

6, I'm going to get right on it for ya.

Edit: How hot are we talking?

PirateBarbie · August 2013

how cheap do you want to look? ;-)

NOLABridesmaid · August 2013

Not sure if this is what you were thinking about.

Jeans or black pants

little black dress?

if you look at Kohl's (since I know you shop there already) - I'd say that J-Lo or Rock &Republic would be your best bet at something "club/bar" party appropriate (although the R&R is probably more casual than you're looking for)

Nursing boobs and that dress do not mix.

I like that top Nola, and that idea, but that cut would be terrible on me. I'm learning I need something that comes in at the waist or hips. Something straight down like that just looks like a tent.

nursing bra friendly:http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1350030/simply-vera-vera-wang-simply-separates-crisscross-crepe-sheath-dress.jsp?crosssell=true

both are fairly inexpensive, could be worn again, and have a boob friendly top and a contoured waist.

6fsn · August 2013

I won't be nursing that night, but my boobs are huge.

I was looking at that first dress then thought- "I have options besides Kohls."

@6fsn - I was just at Polaris on Saturday shopping for jewelry, so I hit up all the cheap places and a couple not so cheap places. H&M has decent tops for cheap. Ann Taylor Loft, Bebe, a couple little boutiques. Also, I have good luck at Macy's. Treat yourself to a little shopping day!

PirateBarbie · August 2013

do you have any outlets nearby?

6fsn · August 2013

I wandered through H&M and wasn't impressed, but I also wasn't looking for anything specific. Maybe I'll sneak in a kid free trip Saturday am.
