Party Wear: Is this wrong?

Right. I’m browsing Pinterest and looking at party outfits instead of, like you know, finishing my closet winter switch out or looking at what’s in my party capsule already... and I saw this and kinda love it and want to know if it’s Wrong. Lol

Yay: It’s fun!
Nay: It’s Wrong! Don’t be crazy!

Kinda cute, but extremely kitschy. Some people can do it, but not me! However, I wouldn’t go so far as to use the term “wrong.”

It would be all wrong for me, but maybe perfect for someone else. DYOT, ya know?

I think you could totally pull this off. I mean that sincerely!

I see separates as a possibility - like black jeans/pants with fun jacket or fun skirt with white or red sweater. The whole look could be more challenging to pull off - unless it's that kind of party where everyone is doing sorta fun/extreme outfits - like "ugly christmas sweaters" ( could be fun anyway ). Definitely not crazy.

You know, I’ve seen so many men wearing suits like this but never a woman. I say, go for it if you want!

I’m seriously thinking about it now because it IS that kind of party. We’ll close a restaurant down, be a couple hundred people, bring in a dj and disco lights, and we’ll serve hard liquor - yeah, rare these days for a company party. Folks get up and salsa and dress to the nines... on the verge of tacky, lol. Guess that’s what happens when you’re in baggy chef jackets and covered in flour the rest of the year. Also, admittedly, senior staff works the room, glad handing. I find loud and tacky makes a good prop...

Rachy, you are one of the few people I can think of who has the personality to pull this off!

I agree: go for it!

Rachy, if anyone could wear this, you could. And make it look somehow both totally ironic and sincere. It would be a stellar outfit.

You can do it? Cute, fun and and lots of personality. That is you. Get it.

Yay from me! Maybe with some chunky out-of-this-world boots? How cool!

Big Yay from me!!! So much fun. You could pull it off with style, Rachy.

I love it and think you will look perfect for the occasion. The great thing is the pieces can be worn separately for a less full-on holiday look.

Exactly what Suz said!

I went to a party last year; it was typical suburbia, everyone wore jeans and a black top pretty much, EXCEPT one guy - who incidentally was the one person who didn't know anyone (he was a +1) - who wore the men's version of this suit. He totally rocked it and somehow made me feel like the stuffy and boring one, even though he was the outlier. And he was absolutely lovely; a wonderful guest! I envied his confidence and authenticity.

I think you have that kind of super power Rachy!

I'm always tempted by those too--but for my son, who is mortified.

Have fun!

Go for it! Sounds like a fun party!

Sounds like a super fun party! Rachy, you most definitely have the personality and confidence to pulll this off. DYOT to the max!!

Hope you'll excuse my frankness, to me is 1,5 (="Fun" & "Crazy") so very Rachy+:-)

it’s very you and I doubt that any one else will be wearing it so no danger of outfit duplication at the party ,so great choice.

Veteran

Cardiff, lol at your understatement!

nemosmom

Veteran

Agree with others that if anyone could pull this off, it would be you and you would totally rock it!

rachylou

Veteran

Lol, Cardiff girl! And Lyn... are you teaching me new texting slang?

Ok, peeps. I have done it. Let’s hope it fits. Website says the suits run small. Reviewers say order two sizes up. I have ordered a size 8...

... and I want a floppy ribbon bow tie too... hehe

Sure, why not! But do they have a puffy version of it?

Joyce B

Veteran

It looks fun, I also think you can rock it.

rachylou

Veteran

OMG. IF they had a matching Puffy... I’d be so done!

I thinking of reuses, how you'll get the wears up. Would be a humorous Christmas in July. Could also be a Halloween costume. I dare you to try to come up with outfits that use each piece separately.
