I’m attending D’s wedding this weekend. Under normal wedding circumstances, I would know what to wear. I just spent forty minutes (after many days of thinking) taking things off, putting things on, crying and generally being a pitiful pile of indecision. All over what to wear to my daughter’s mom’s wedding.
This is very unlike me.
Clothes don’t really bother me much. I wear what is comfortable. That usually looks nice. I’m not too concerned with styles, what is in or out or popular or trendy or anything of that nature. My style is usually best described as classic which is another word for boring. I do have some “sexier” outfits (not overly, just curve featuring) that I reserve for date night and the like.
But I couldn’t figure out what to wear.
I have a nice dress suit that does feature my waist to hip curve quite nicely. But I didn’t want someone in attendance to think it was too tight. I have another dress that features my cleavage nicely. But I didn’t want someone in attendance to think I was being a hussy. I also didn’t want to appear TOO matronly and come off as the weird woman who would have warped her daughter anyway. Because people will judge me based on my appearance.
I have chosen a green flow-y skirt that goes a bit past my knee. With it I have paired a black cami with a few sequins for some flair and a black short sleeved crop sweater over that. It kind of hides my curves but is kind of fun and hip at the same time. I don’t know what people will assume about me and the reasons that I placed my daughter based on my outfit choice.
Other than the fact that I like the color green.
Weddings really bring out the weird in people, so you’re probably right to overthink this. I think your solution sounds about right. I’m sure you’ll look cute and I’m sure you’ll be happy, and people will be able to see that too.

Don’t forget to have some fun. I hate dressing up and rarely have an extremely good time when I am out of my sweat pants and t-shirts! :0) It kind of bites that you have to think extra hard about an outfit. . . but I certainly do agree that people may “judge” by what someone is wearing. Maybe they won’t care at all. I wouldn’t, but I’m in a different place than most when it comes time to adoption awareness. My prayers and thoughts will be with you! Enjoy!

I think your outfit sounds lovely, but – regardless – people who judge you on your outward appearance rather than on your heart are not worth giving the time of day. Don’t forget to have fun!

I’m sure you will be beautiful no matter what. And tell all the gawkers that they should be looking at the bride not the guests!
