So, I was feeling really good about my wardrobe progress when it hit--- the SOs holiday party. Originally I had planned to look for a special outfit or dress, but the SO insisted that is was casual this year. Yesterday we found out that it was the same festive relaxed cocktail as always (men in slacks and button downs, ladies in mostly a mix of cocktail dresses and similar separates). The ladies in that group really go all out with eye-catching, skin and figure showing stuff.

I tried on every dress, skirt, and pant in my closet with every sweater and blouse. I let go of every dress except for one summer dress I wear to weddings. I'm not in love with how my pencil skirts fit. I have 2 summer blouses that are less covered and look nice with slacks, but not for mid-winter. I have 1 transitional-weight blouse that is similar. I have my interview clothes and a turtleneck, but not festive heels things to dress those up.

I'm set for a winter funeral or interview, am prepared for a transitional weather funeral or interview, but don't have lightweight interview or funeral clothes.

The big hole, however, is gallery or dressy party clothes for WINTER. It may be too late for winter, but boy I hope I learn my lesson when I'm wearing funeral clothes to the party tomorrow night.
