If it spills, it spills, You'll be outside, there will be tears, but such is life.&nbsp;<br /><br />Jeans (if not too hot) and one of your pretty wrap tops along with a sweater if required.&nbsp;<br /><br />The only issue is what if it is super hot? For me, jeans are out on the really hot days.&nbsp;<br /><br />Do you have a super casual skirt for that possibility? Or clams?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933378 Wed, 15 May 2013 23:23:15 +0000 Sara L. 933378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think jeans, an interesting top, and sandals would look good.<br /><br />I'm going to be the naysayer on the bubbles idea. &nbsp;I hate bubbles and groan when anyone gives my kids bubbles. &nbsp;Without fail, one of them will spill the bubbles and there will be crying. I usually tell my kids to bring one or two small toys when we go to similar functions - they usually bring matchbox cars, I'm not sure what the girl equivalent is.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933310 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:57:00 +0000 kellygirl 933310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice jeans, sandals or sassy sneaks and a nice knit wrap top or something. You could wear a cardigan if it is cooler. Another nay on the blazer unless it is a knit one--and looks more casual. I think you will make a great first impression. You have such a nice smile! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933294 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:19:26 +0000 Beth Ann 933294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sounds like it's time to climb in the closet and try out some possible combinations!&nbsp; I think a white or colored jean jacket might be a great topper if it's cooler.&nbsp; <br /><br />I second the bubbles, and perhaps and activity bag so DD can play near you and be occupied.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933177 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:18:15 +0000 texstyle 933177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you have it pretty well sorted - jeans, one of&nbsp; your favorite tops and BUBBLES! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933110 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:00:38 +0000 Thistle 933110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ooooh, bubbles!&nbsp; Excellent idea!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933105 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:55:44 +0000 Kristin SF 933105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Elizabeth! That sounds so idyllic, really like how I grew up in the 70s. There are some families with young children on our street, I am hoping that I will feel safe enough for my kids to do that with the neighborhood kids when everyone is a few years older.<br /><br />Thistle, I think jeans is the way to go. No to blazer. Yes to shirt with a cardigan if chilly out, or maybe one of your pretty wrap shirts? I know you typically wear them with skirts...have you ever tried the look with jeans, I can't recall.<br /><br />Have fun! Bring a big thing of bubbles, that gets all the little ones playing together. ;-)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933094 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:43:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 933094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think that sounds perfect.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or what about capri's, tee and a jean jacket? We live on a street that is "changing over", and it is WONDERFUL.&nbsp; Kids come home, dump their school bags and run out to play.&nbsp; We don't know exactly where they are half the time, but we know they are safe, and in a group.&nbsp; If we need them, we look for the pile of bikes and scooters :).&nbsp; Good for you!!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---neighborhood-meet-up#post-933071 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:20:16 +0000 Thistle 933071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, one of my neighbors is hosting a neighborhood meet and greet for those of us with kids.&nbsp; We are in a transitional neightborhood - some of us have little kids and are "younger" families, and a lot more are my mom's age.&nbsp; So, she wanted a way to get everyone who has kids together so we can all meet each other.&nbsp; Terrific idea, I think.<br /><br />But, what do you wear to this?!? We will have DD with us the whole time, and there is a park right at the end of the block near the neighbor hosting. So, I <i>know </i>we will be at the park. <br /><br />I want to look casual chic, the first saturday in June (so may be chilly or roasting hot this crazy spring!), without looking too dressed up or casual. <i>And </i>I have to be able to Toddler Wrangle. <br /><br />Maybe just nice jeans and a tee with sandals if it is warm enough? I think a blazer is too much.&nbsp; My casual chic wardrobe is . . . well . . . that's just not where I have been focused.<br /><br />Maybe I am overthinking this, but it will be the first time I meet almost anyone in our neighborhood even close to our age. I want to make a good impression, even with a sticky, messy toddler under one arm.
